I really can't control myself

"Nonsense, how could I be a XIE believer?" Marcus was really confused. When did he become a XIE believer? The most outrageous thing is that he was the last to know, "This is a frame-up! No, I must……"

At this point, Marcus was stunned again. Yes, this was obviously a frame-up, but the question was what should he do now? The announcement here was issued by the Light Church. The normal thing to do is to go to the Light Church immediately and make it clear. He is not an XIE believer at all. Marcus feels that if he explains it now, it will definitely be clear. But the problem is... I can't go by myself.

At this time, Marcus was in a place that even Linton had not expected. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. Marcus' current location is actually in the capital of the Holy Empire of Yilan, Saint Dravan City. As for why it appears here, there are two main reasons.

The first reason is, of course, this is also one of Marcus' plans. Marcus himself is a complete gambler, and his own plan is extremely bold. As a prince, it is very dangerous for him to go deep into another country's territory, but he was not satisfied and actually came directly to the other country's capital.

Of course, he was able to come here with help. In addition to their own spies from the Yetis Empire, there were also traitors from the Elan Holy Empire itself. Of course, these traitors did not know that Marcus was the prince of the Yetis Empire. They were only helping Thomas Heihe, the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor, so in their opinion, what they did was not treason. It's for the sake of the country. How can those two women become emperors? The most important thing is that once they ascend the throne, the Melowei family will not be the only one. How can they tolerate a small nobleman from the countryside becoming the most powerful member of the empire? As for the powerful nobles, they are simply not qualified.

Originally, they were a little hesitant about this matter, but what they didn't expect was that Thomas Heihe would have the courage to come directly to the city of Saint Dravan. Although they had mentioned before that they wanted to meet the illegitimate son first, they did not expect that the other party would actually come. To be honest, they were shocked by his demeanor.

Of course, Marcus also told them the entire plan, including the fact that he had persuaded the Yetis Empire to send reinforcements. Then when these nobles heard about the Yetis Empire, they also knew that the other party had bad intentions. Can they help you for free? But they heard that the other party's condition for helping was to get the northern land, and they felt... that this deal seemed feasible.

Yes, the northern land has nothing to do with them. Their fiefdom is not in the north. To them, the north is a place where country bumpkin nobles stay. It is a barren land. There are only a few nobles from the north in the entire imperial capital because it is too poor. Well, the nobles over there simply don't have the resources to get out of the mountains, and they can't come to the imperial capital.

The Yetis Empire is indeed very concerned about the northern area. They wanted to get that area in the previous wars, so this time they proposed this reward, and these nobles believed it. Although they think that place is worthless, the Yetis Empire seems to want it very much, so...since it doesn't involve their own interests, just give it to them.

They really wanted to bring down the Meloway family, but they really didn't think much of the illegitimate son before. After all, now that the two princesses occupy the imperial capital, they find it difficult to accomplish this. But now that all Marcus's plans have been stopped, they feel that this matter can really be done. After all, they don't know how to deal with the First Army near the imperial capital. It will be difficult to deal with the military power in the hands of the other party. But now that there are troops from the Yetis Empire, there is suddenly a way.

Marcus came here not only to personally win over these nobles, but he was also prepared to show up directly when the Yetis Empire's troops arrived and launch a riot in the city. With the imperial capital's defensive capabilities, even if it is surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, it is not an easy task to capture it. Even if it is completely cut off from the outside world and without water or food, it is estimated that it will not be a problem if it lasts for several months. The city wall of the imperial capital has never been attacked from the outside.

Marcus definitely couldn't wait that long. In a few months, anything could happen. Then this brings us to the second reason why he came here, yes, it was Linton.

Although Marcus is bold, he doesn't mean that he is not afraid of life and death. Of course, he is also afraid of death. And what he fears most now is Linton. Of course, Marcus also collected a lot of intelligence before coming here, especially Linton's intelligence. His plan was definitely to confront Linton, and he naturally knew this.

Speaking of Linton, one of the things he did recently was that he went to Duke Norbury's house and killed his entire family. So you can play this? Isn't it too much for you, a saint-level person, to just go off and do this?

What's even more outrageous is that this guy hasn't been punished by the Holy Association, because people can still come up with reasons for "private vendetta". Does anyone with any brains know that this is a personal vendetta? Marcus is not a fool, but the problem is that he really just said that.

Of course, with his status, can he still go to the Holy Association to protest? Do you think the saint-level people care about you, an ant? Now the question is, if I seek death in the same way, what if this guy comes to kill me directly? The situation of Duke Norbury's family is vivid in my mind. If you talk about the Holy Association, even if they find Linton later, the grass on their graves will have grown up to one meter high.

Facing this kind of crazy enemy, the only way Marcus can think of is to hide. If I can't afford to offend him, why can't I hide? If Linton showed up, he would definitely go to the rebel headquarters to find him, but he is not there. Could you have imagined that I was in the main city? The second one is time, which is why he can't wait a few months. Linton doesn't know why he often disappears for a period of time. Marcus hasn't found out what he was doing. He probably went into seclusion to practice or something. Anyway, this guy doesn't seem to be around during this period. It's best for him to take advantage of his absence. Solve the problem before coming back. As for the future, as the emperor after he ascends the throne, there are several saints in the empire to protect him. Although Linton is a terrifying saint, as long as he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, can you directly kill the emperor of a country? Even if you are a saint, you can't do this.

In short, although it may seem very dangerous to others to go deep into the imperial city, Marcus actually feels a little safer. Now even the people in the North have never seen me. Although I am the prince of the empire, no one here knows me. They don't even know my fake identity of Thomas Heihe. What's the danger?

As for launching a rebellion in the city, the current public opinion base is obviously on his side. In addition, there are many nobles in the city assisting him. A sudden action will definitely catch the opponent off guard, and as soon as the city gate is opened , when it falls, your own troops will be able to control the entire situation.

The current situation is that his plan is being implemented very smoothly. Several nobles in the city have been convinced by him, and even the city guards can control part of it. Now he just needs to wait for the troops from the Yetis Empire to arrive. As for Linton's guess that he went to the northern garrison to convince them, Marcus certainly didn't know. The northern garrison had been persuaded by them before, and there was no need for him to go there in person.

Originally, the plan was going well these days. After calculating the time, the troops of the Yetis Empire should have joined the rebel army in the north. Now the troops from both sides should have been fighting towards the main city again, but there was no such thing. Thinking that what he heard was actually the Church of Light announcing that Thomas Heihe was a XIE believer, this was like a bolt from the blue.

So do you think you can show up now? He is in the imperial capital now, how can he show up? My soldiers haven't arrived yet, but if I show up now, doesn't that mean I'm letting the other party capture me?

Yes, the only thing announced by the Holy See of Light now is that Thomas Heihe is an XIE believer. It did not say that there are now three-headed monsters in the north. The northern rebels and the Yetis Empire's troops were crushed by these three-headed monsters. . Marcus didn't know that his plan had already gone bankrupt. He still thought that if he went out now, wouldn't he fail?

Marcus didn't want to show up. In his opinion, he had to wait until his troops arrived. When he succeeds in ascending the throne, it will not be too late to explain to the Church of Light. After all, he is indeed not an XIE believer. He even suspected that this might be the conspiracy of the two princesses or the Meroway family, just waiting for him to get out.

But he doesn't want to go out. Several nobles here who originally decided to follow him have given up. Originally, they thought it would be possible to follow His Majesty the Emperor's illegitimate son, let him ascend the throne, become ministers of the dragon themselves, and solve the Meloway family. But now the person they follow has become an XIE believer, and he is still the notorious one. The Church of Cthulhu, then they quit. How dare they get involved with the enemies of the Church of Light? Isn’t this a big death?

But what people didn't expect was that Marcus actually relied on his eloquence to temporarily stabilize them. He told everyone that he was definitely not an XIE believer. This was the conspiracy of the Meloway family. This matter would come to light sooner or later, and he must not show up now. He would wait until the troops arrived to directly control the situation. After he ascended the throne, Explain it clearly to the Light Church.

Of course, he also vaguely reminded everyone, you have been harboring me for more than ten days, is it too late to get off now? Hand me over, and you will make it clear to the Church of Light. After that, as long as those two princesses ascend the throne, what will happen to you?

These words calmed a few people. It is true that now that they are on this car, it seems that it is not easy to get off again. It seems that they can only continue to do it. So these nobles could only continue to grit their teeth, until two days later, the news from the north came, and everyone, including Marcus, was once again confused.
