I really can't control myself

Linton's efficiency is naturally very high. Ten days have actually passed since the rebellion of the First Legion, and the Imperial City here has taken almost no effective measures.

The current situation is difficult to judge on the one hand, and Yalan lacks some decisions as the emperor on the other hand. It was only after Linton returned that he adopted the actions of the Third and Seventh Legions to resist the rebels.

Except for the 3rd and 7th legions, the other 4th, 5th, and 6th legions were required to stay at their original garrison and not take any action. Any act of leaving the garrison was regarded as an act of treason.

As soon as this order was conveyed, it was obvious that he did not trust them. The commanders of these three legions could naturally understand, and of course they were a little angry. But after thinking about it, there is really nothing they can do. They don't even have any means of self-certification now.

You say I lead troops north to fight the rebels directly? Who knows if you went to join the rebels. You said I would go back to help defend the main city, but who knows if you are here to help the rebels fall into the city. Indeed, the best thing to do now is to stay where you are and prove your loyalty to the Empire by doing nothing.

Of course, another way is for you, the legion commander, to return to the main city alone, or simply take all the important officers back to the main city. But to be honest, even they themselves are a little afraid of this situation.

Will the sudden rebellion of the two legions make the emperor wary and distrust their expatriate legion commanders in the future? Will the army commanders be replaced by the emperor's cronies in the future? Most of them, because they have been guarding the border all year round, are definitely not as close to the emperor as the ministers and nobles in the main city. What if they all get detained immediately when they go back?

The suspicion now is not that Emperor Guang is suspicious of them. They are also suspicious of the emperor and other colleagues. They know that they are not rebels, but they also know whether others are. This chain of suspicion has been formed, and now they really don't dare to go back casually.

Fortunately, Linton did not force them all to go back. On the one hand, counterinsurgency doesn't require so many people, and on the other hand, these people are really causing trouble now that they're back. Linton doesn't have any loyalty detectors, so he doesn't have time to compete with these people.

"After you go over here, take a look at the situation. If these people show any hesitation, just kill everyone first." Linton was telling Garsain to pay attention at this time. Linton was really not sure about the seventh one now. Whether the legion will rebel or not, the most important thing is that the reason for the rebellion of the other party is not known.

Linton directly asked Garsain to go over and actually take a look at the situation. If the other party dared to make any move, Garsain would directly kill everyone. At that time, there is no need to say that they are rebelling or anything, just say that they intend to murder the holy class, and then parachute Garsain to the Sixth Army to see if they are obedient. Once they find something wrong, they will be destroyed immediately.

"I know, I will make a careful judgment." Gasein nodded.

Although Garsain actually doesn't want to be the commander of the legion now, he is now somewhat in a normal holy-level martial arts fanatic state, and he always wants to train and continue to improve his strength. But faced with the current rather severe situation, he immediately accepted the task.

"But I still can't figure out why Tommen and the others suddenly launched a rebellion. It's really strange." Garsain said. I mentioned before that Garsain served as the commander of the First Legion. In fact, Tommen was his deputy and deputy commander at the time. After Garsain withdrew, Tommen officially took over as the legion commander.

So Garsain is actually very familiar with Tommen and some officers of the First Legion. Although they didn't know each other for that long, and after he was promoted to the Saint level and retired, the contact between them was cut off for a long time, but according to Garsain's knowledge, these people should all be loyal people. Saying that they will rebel, Garsain really has not been able to accept it until now.

"Indeed..." Yalan next to him also nodded, "The first and second legions were already formed when the Holy Empire of Yilan was established. There has been no rebellion in a hundred years, and now the two The legions rebelled at the same time, and I really can’t figure out what this problem is all about.”

The formation time of these two legions was even earlier than the establishment of the Holy Empire of Elan. At that time, the three major empires of mankind had not yet split, and the First and Second Legions were actually already there. Later, after the empire was divided into three, the ancestors of the Yalan family who established the Holy Empire of Yilan simply renamed the pre-existing legions into the First and Second Legions.

For example, the subsequent legions were established one after another after the establishment of the empire, such as the fourth legion, and just after Linton and the others reunified the human empire. You said that the loyalty of these newly-built legions was not enough, and they could understand if they rebelled. The first and second legions have been loyal to the royal family for hundreds of years, and suddenly they rebelled on the idea of ​​rebellion. Yalan still can't understand it.

"Although I don't know why they didn't make a request, it will be exposed sooner or later." Linton said, "Don't guess, someone will ask us. Look, this person will come."

As Linton spoke, he also looked in the direction of the sky. Garsain also noticed the aura of the visitor. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, several figures fell from the sky. Those who could fly were naturally saint-level.

Four people came, the leader of whom was Linton's old acquaintance, President Toliman of the Holy Association. He had been negotiating with Linton before, and it seemed that he had made a deal.

Linton looked at the other three people and saw that they all had familiar faces, but he couldn't name them at the moment. Linton remembered that these people should be saints enshrined by the Holy Empire of Elan, which meant that President Toliman should have met with these saints first to understand the situation, and then came over. Obviously he doesn't need to explain the current situation.

"President Toliman, what do you want from me?" Although Linton knew the other party's intention, he still asked with a smile.

"It's really inappropriate for Sword Master Linton and Sword Master Garsain to be the commander of the legion." Toliman here had no intention of going around the bush and went straight to the point.

This was really not appropriate. Again, there was no such thing as a saint-level army commander before, so Garsain resigned immediately before the battle was over. But Linton obviously acted knowingly this time.

"President Toliman, the current situation in the empire is quite critical. There should be no problem with my measures." Linton said, spreading his hands.

"Linton Sword Master, this is just an ordinary counter-insurgency war, it's not going to end up as a saint." Toliman actually didn't have the confidence to speak here, after all, he was really afraid of Linton now. But if Verington really didn't give any face, he wouldn't know what to do.

The Holy Association asked him to deal with Linton, how could he deal with it? Several other presidents (Toliman is just one of the presidents) are still clamoring all day long that the association cannot compromise. In fact, they themselves know the situation. Otherwise, Toliman said, let them try it themselves. , why no one dared to answer it, they all said it was his responsibility or something.

In the current situation, they actually didn't dare to be tough with Linton. In fact, everyone within the Holy Association knew this. Toliman is here to discuss it now, and the subtext is to ask Linton to give him face, at least on the surface to let them hold on. He was now worried that Linton would overturn the table.

"An ordinary counter-insurgency war? I don't think so." Linton looked at Toliman's careful expression, and then continued, "How does President Toliman know that it is an ordinary rebellion? You should also know that the other party has absolutely no Make any demands, right? I now seriously suspect that the first and second legions have colluded with other countries to subvert our Holy Empire of Elan. What we are encountering now is the crisis of national subjugation. In this case, my approach Not only is there no problem, President Toliman, you should still support me."

"Support?" Toliman was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, the saints usually enshrined by the empire should take action in such an emergency situation. After all, this is a crisis of national subjugation, so I think that this time the counterinsurgency should be solved by the saints. President Liman, you think so," Linton said.

"Uh..." Toliman was a little overwhelmed by Linton's words. Didn't he come to prevent Garsain from being named the commander of the army? Why did Linton suddenly leave the counter-insurgency to them? Now that they are in charge, are they starting to be treated as part-time workers?

"But now I'm not sure what collusion they have with other empires." Toliman said after thinking for a while.

"I'm sure... I can't be sure, but I can doubt it, and they can refute it, right?" Linton said, "It's just that I don't know what they want now. If the other party doesn't quibble, then It shouldn’t be considered a default.”

"I'm not a person who doesn't listen. I also give the other party a chance to explain. In this way, President Toliman, why don't you help me ask about the situation? If they really collude with outsiders, you can destroy them by the way. If not, there are other reasons, and I am willing to listen to their explanation. Do you think my method is reasonable?" Linton said, spreading his hands.

"..." Toliman was not an idiot, and he understood what Linton meant in an instant. This is a job for them. If he goes to ask about the situation, if the other party doesn't answer, he will just kill him, and he doesn't have to take action. The other party answered, and he had to come back and tell Linton that Linton also knew the other party's intention. No matter what the outcome, Linton would still benefit from it. This was really using them as tools.

But can he refuse? Linton seemed to be able to make things right, and even Toliman felt that the other party was giving him face.

After thinking for a while, Toliman nodded.
