I really can't control myself

Linton could clearly feel that Wigley's face turned darker. He instantly understood what Linton meant by these words. He must have been so angry that he was about to explode. However, Wigley didn't say anything in the end. The reason was very simple. If it were his ministers or the like, he would have cursed them long ago, but Linton was not. He was a saint, not Wigley's subordinate. Although The two have a son-in-law relationship, but this is a private relationship. Obviously it is not suitable to talk about this during the Congress.

Of course, Wigley also stared at Linton. Although he said nothing, the meaning in his eyes was to shut up Linton. Linton realized this and did not speak in the subsequent meetings. Wigley also quickly arranged the war matters, and Linton also listened briefly.

As I said before, the border between the two countries is always guarded by large armies. The Holy Empire of Yilan has about 70,000 troops stationed there all year round. Originally, it should be enough for defense alone, but this time the two sides faced each other. The Madrama Empire's invading troops may number more than 200,000. Considering that the combat capabilities of the orcs are already superior to those of the human troops, reinforcements have to be sent to support such an invasion.

Wigley's arrangement is like this. The empire sends 50,000 troops, and the lords under his command add up to 30,000 troops. A total of 80,000 reinforcements go to the border. In this way, the number of troops on the border reaches 150,000, which should be enough for the defensive side. . Of course, Wigley is not only thinking about defense. Although he may only be able to defend in the early stage, he does not want to keep this scourge any longer. He will increase troops later depending on the situation. It is best to fight back.

In short, this is also a temporary strategy. The empire really can't send out too many troops at the moment, because their enemies are not just the Madrama Empire. There are so many other enemies staring at them that it is impossible to mobilize all the troops. On the battlefield to the south, it is already very good to be able to send 80,000 troops.

Soon all the instructions were completed, and Wigley dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand. All the generals went to the military camp to wait for orders, while the civilian officials began to prepare for war logistics, and the lords returned to their own territories to gather troops. And Wigley also waved slightly to Linton and Garserne. Yes, there are some things that cannot be discussed in Congress, but after the Congress is over, they can still be discussed in private.

"Father-in-law, please believe me, I really want to marry your daughter, but something really delayed this time." Linton quickly admitted his mistake.

"What is it? Don't tell me it's about saving the world or something." Wigley said.

It's really about saving the world, but it's not this world. Of course, Linton can't say it directly.

"If something unexpected hadn't happened this time, how would you have ended this matter?" Wigley yelled.

"Uh... Anyway, it's my fault, my fault. In this way, no matter what happens this time, I won't leave. I will just wait for the war to end and hold the wedding immediately." Linton said.

Although Linton's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, Wigley was still so angry that he couldn't calm down. Of course, his anger was partly due to Linton, and partly because of the Madrama Empire.

"Your Majesty, the Meloway family is willing to provide 20,000 gold in military expenses to help the empire fight against the invasion of these barbaric orcs." Garsain said suddenly next to him.

"Huh?" Wigley was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "25,000 gold."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Garsain nodded directly in agreement.

It is obvious that this money is the apology money. Although it seems a bit realistic, it is undoubtedly the best solution. Yes, Linton was indeed unkind in this matter, but something unexpected happened and the wedding did not go ahead. It can be explained at this time, after all, it was a war. And Wigley didn't want to cancel the wedding. He said before that the wedding would be beneficial to both parties. Now what? Just fall out? Of course Wigley didn't want to, but it was obviously impossible to let him go like this, so what Garsain meant was that the Meloway family would apologize, and Wigley could also take the opportunity to come down from the slope and accept the gift. With the money, this matter will be over naturally.

"Go back and organize the army, don't miss the time." Wigley said. Yes, the troops of the Mellow family will arrive on the battlefield within fifteen days. If they don't arrive, they will be dealt with by military law. Wigley also reminded Garsain. But there should be no problem within fifteen days, it’s not that urgent.

After speaking to Garsain, he looked directly at Linton: "Don't go anywhere for me, stay in the city and wait for the wedding."

"This...isn't it. Last time, humans and beasts fought for a whole year. It's impossible to hold a wedding during the war. If the fight lasts another year and a half this time, I will be under house arrest for several years. ?" Linton said.

During the war, it was not said that marriage was not allowed, but Yalan was the princess of the empire, which was obviously different from ordinary people. The soldiers on the front line were working hard, and the princess of the empire held a wedding banquet in the rear. Does it make sense? Wigley himself felt that it was inappropriate. How many years would a Saint-level person be placed under house arrest? This doesn't seem to be something humans do, and it can't be justified. But in the case of Linton, what if he ran off to another place?

"How about I make the war end faster?" Linton asked, "Destroy the Orcs within a month..."

"Wait a minute, don't mess around." Wigley said quickly. Yes, this war has little to do with Linton. Not only is it not major, he cannot just go to the battlefield casually. Saint-level nuclear weapons are not used for real use most of the time. Nuclear deterrence is the key point. If they are really used, it has reached the level of annihilation of the country. Wigley does not think that this war is that kind of war. If Linton takes action and triggers a holy-level war, the loss will not only be caused by the invasion of 200,000 orcs.

"Then I really want to get married soon." Linton said.

"Then why didn't you show up yesterday?"

"So it's said that it was really caused by force majeure..." Linton said, spreading his hands.

Wigley really believed it, because Linton was indeed honest this time. He thought about it and said, "Anyway, let's see how the war goes in the future."

Marriage is certainly very important, but now that unexpected circumstances arise, we can only prioritize state affairs first. The current war with the orcs is the top priority, and it is impossible to influence the deployment of the war just because you are in a hurry to get married. Wigley did not insist on letting Linton stay in the city, but he still warned: "Remember, there will be no next time."

The words were rude, but it showed that Linton was indeed forgiven this time. Linton nodded seriously this time. Yes, he was really planning to get married first this time. He was not planning to leave for another dimension before getting married. Anyway, he is not so anxious now. The two tasks in hand are promotion tasks, so there is no need to leave. He can also see if he can get any construction tasks recently. In short, exploration tasks are not available for the time being. If you can't pick it up, it's over.

However, Linton really can't wait for a year and a half, so it is necessary to speed up the process of the war. As Linton said, it is best to end it within a month, and then the war celebration banquet will be held together with his own Having the wedding together is the best way.

Of course, he had to take action, but he couldn't do it directly. Although he was not afraid of those saints, if the saint-level war started, it would not be a matter of his own life and death. He still needed to find a more reliable method.

Secondly, Linton certainly couldn't stop in terms of promotion tasks. Although he had decided not to go to other dimensions for the time being, he still carried out the tasks as usual. In order to improve the plan, Linton also inquired about the specific situation from Garsain, mainly about the orcs.

At this time, the two of them had returned to the territory of the Meroway family. Garsain immediately announced the emperor's order and began to gather troops. When the people below started to get busy, he happened to have a little chat with Linton.

"I really won't leave this time. Do you think I'll report it to you once a day before the wedding?" Linton said.

"Really?" Garsain looked at Linton. Considering the other party's bad record, he still didn't believe it immediately.

"Really." Linton said quickly, and then changed the subject instantly, "Is 25,000 gold a lot for us?"

"It's not much." Garsain said. After all, their family now has a gold mine. Other families may really suffer, but the Meloway family is now extremely rich, and people all over the country know it.

Garsain briefly explained the situation. First of all, their gold mine was still operating, and a steady stream of gold was being sent to their family. And recently, they have integrated the resources of the Narcisse family. The Narcisse family is also aware of their current situation. The whole family has been packed up. Life and death are in the hands of the Meloway family. Of course, they cooperate obediently, so the family is now We are indeed in a period of rapid development, and money is not a big deal.

"Tell me carefully about the situation on the Orc side." Since the money matter was a trivial matter, Linton didn't ask any more questions, but asked other questions.

"You don't really want to interfere, really don't," Garsain said.

"Don't worry, I know the situation and I won't cause trouble." Linton said, "One and a half years is indeed too long. I will find a way to shorten the time. Isn't this a rush to get married? Don't worry, no matter what, I I will never come forward directly.”

Garsain nodded slightly and still believed Linton. After all, Linton had never dug any holes in the family before. The only unreliable thing at present was that he always disappeared suddenly. So Garsain gave Linton a brief introduction to the situation on the Orc side.
