I really can't control myself.

Chapter 2371 Situation
Time soon came four days later, and it was time for Linton's enthronement ceremony.

It was similar to the enthronement ceremony held by Yalan before, because of the previous experience in hosting, the preparation for this ceremony went much smoother.That is, in just a few days, all aspects have been prepared.

Like Linton's order before, all countries and forces across the continent have been invited by the Holy Empire of Elan to observe the ceremony and ask them to send people to come.Of course, most countries and forces also sent people here.

Basically all the nobles in the empire were also required to return to the imperial capital to report on their duties, including of course the commanders of the various legions.Including Esdes, the head of the Third Army, who is besieging the rebels, and Gassin, the head of the Seventh Army stationed around the imperial capital.

In addition, the three regiment commanders of the fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments who were ordered to garrison the same place before all asked them to return to the imperial capital to report on their duties and pledge allegiance to their new emperor.

During the previous rebellion, Linton did not order them to return to the imperial capital, which also made them breathe a sigh of relief.However, what I didn't expect was that Linton would directly usurp the throne and now officially proclaim himself emperor.When the new emperor ascended the throne, they had to come back now, or they could only rebel on the spot.

Among them, the captains of the fifth and sixth legions had no idea, after all, they had originally planned to show their loyalty to the imperial capital, and they had no intention of rebelling at all.And Linton's becoming emperor was completely expected for them, and they even felt that Linton's becoming emperor was more appropriate.

But the commander of the Fourth Army, Jory Batum, is in a panic right now.That's right, this Jory Batum is actually the backup that the rebels have been waiting for.

According to the plan of the rebels, a total of 20 troops from the First and Second Legion had come under pressure, and the imperial capital obviously had to send troops to deal with it immediately.The Fourth Army, as their backup, will definitely be transferred to counter the rebellion.Whether it is sent to the north to suppress the rebellion, or let them garrison the imperial capital, the Fourth Army can play a key role.

If you go to suppress the rebellion, you can turn around at a critical moment and directly defeat the troops that suppressed the rebellion. At that time, the three legions will unite to attack the imperial capital, and a great event will be accomplished.If they were to defend the imperial capital, then let them directly attack the city at critical moments. This plan sounds perfect.

Jory Batum was indeed convinced.On the one hand, he was indeed one of the generals promoted by the old emperor Wigley. The old emperor's kindness to him was still there. When he knew that the leader of the opponent was actually the eldest prince Damian, he was naturally shaken.

On the other hand, even for his own sake, he felt that the success rate of the other party's plan was very high.Because after the new emperor ascended the throne, Batum's life was not easy.He really didn't feel that the new emperor paid him any attention.In the previous few wars, their Fourth Army had no share at all, and they just stayed at the station to guard their home.

Even the new woman named Esdeth could get a chance to attack the orcs. Batum felt that if his legion went, there would be nothing wrong with this woman.Why didn't the new emperor give himself this chance.

Now this woman has become the commander of the third army, and she is on an equal footing with herself. Of course, this made Batum feel resentment.Thinking about the old emperor Wigley's promotion and respect for him before, and seeing how the new emperor ignored him, he naturally made his own choice.

However, the development of the situation was beyond his expectation.Not only did the Fourth Army not participate in the crusade, they didn't even have the chance to go back to defend the imperial capital.From the beginning to the end, the order given to him by the imperial capital was to stay where he was.

Without receiving the transfer order, Batum did not dare to act rashly. What happened to the First and Second Legion happened not long ago, and he would be directly exposed if he moved casually.Of course, he also knew that the Fifth and Sixth Legions were also stationed in place. The commanders of these two legions were not his own. .

Batum decided to wait for the opportunity. Anyway, the First and Second Legion is rebelling over there, so it must be dealt with.In his opinion, the opportunity must be waiting, however, everyone knows what happened later.

Hearing that the Third Army directly defeated the rebels in one battle, Batum was stunned at the time. This is fake, how could such a thing happen.But believe it or not, that's the truth.Batum quickly verified the authenticity of the news, and then...he was immediately confused.

Just as his rebellion ended before it even started, Batum fell into a panic.As far as the current situation is concerned, it is naturally impossible for him to jump out to rebel again, not to mention whether he is willing or not, and there must be no one below who is willing to follow him.But if you don't jump out and act as if you don't know what to do, can you get away with it?Although he and those who contacted him were very secretive, and no one else should find out, but he couldn't guarantee that the imperial capital would not know about it.

In fact, he also suspected that the imperial capital probably knew something, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered their legions to stay where they were.But he was never caught, which made him a little relieved. He didn't know if he had passed through, or the imperial capital was still investigating, at least it hadn't been exposed yet.

Then he received a notice that Linton usurped the throne and asked all the legion leaders to go back to report their duties and swear allegiance to the new emperor.

The first reaction he received when he received the announcement was that the imperial capital had tricked him into going back.Here he is the head of the legion. Although he can't guarantee 100% control of the army, he feels that the imperial capital doesn't dare to arrest people directly in his barracks.But leaving the barracks, he is just an ordinary nobleman.Isn't this a plan to arrest him? Will he be pressed on the spot as soon as he returns?
But the reason given by the other party is also very good, the new emperor ascends the throne, you can not go back to show loyalty to the new emperor, what do you mean?How is it different from outright rebellion?For this reason, he didn't know how to refuse at all. He had only two options: going back and rebelling on the spot.

Batum struggled for a day, but finally he was ready to salute and went back directly.Although he knew that this time he might die if he went back, if the situation is going to rebel now, more people will die.Although he was a traitor, the people under him were all his old subordinates, and he didn't want to drag them to die with him.

While Batum here was frightened, another group of people was also planning something.

Yes, the recent series of incidents in the Holy Empire of Elan made some surrounding countries start to think about it.

It has been said before that no one wants to see a powerful neighbor watching over them.When the human race was divided into three parts before, this contradiction was not so obvious.After all, the three empires of the human race fought fiercely with each other, and the surrounding countries benefited from it, and their lives were very good.

But since the unification of the Terran Empire, life has become more and more difficult.Not only must one be on guard against a powerful enemy at all times, but the diplomatic and resource benefits brought about by the previous three empires attacking each other are of course gone now.

Looking at the increasingly powerful new empire of the human race, the surrounding countries have long been eyeing it.When the new empire was first established, they wanted to do something.At that time, didn't you find Ignis, the strongest "Dragonman" in the mainland, and wanted to suppress the new saint-level Linton who had just risen at that time, but I didn't expect Ignis to be killed by Linton directly. Their plan went bankrupt on the spot, and the matter could only be left alone.

But they have been waiting for the opportunity.Their purpose is to contain and weaken the empire, and it is best to restore the state of the previous three empires, which is the best for them.On this point, they have reached a consensus.

However, from the establishment of the empire to the present, the development of the empire can be said to be smooth sailing. Although they have done a lot of black hands secretly, they have not hindered the overall process at all.This made them even more anxious, always wondering how to contain the development of the new empire.

Until this rebellion, they suddenly saw an opportunity.

Yes, the sudden rebellion of the First and Second Legion, this is a major event that shakes the new empire.They planned to make a big fuss in it from the beginning, and it would be best if the empire split directly.

Of course, they didn't help the rebels at the beginning, because the rebels were so powerful at the time, it seemed that they could really destroy the empire.And they didn't want the rebels to win at all. If the rebels won all at once, wouldn't they still have to face the empire?It's just a change of leader, which is not what they want.

What they want, at best, is for the empire to remain in chaos for a long time.So they decided to wait and see how the situation unfolded.If the empire suffers setbacks, they will immediately send someone to ask them if they need any help, materials and troops.If the rebels are frustrated, they will of course send people there. It is best if you let you fight and you can't fight.

However, what I didn't expect was that the rebellion ended overnight. After a battle, the rebel army was directly dispersed.This really caught everyone by surprise.They prepared a lot of set meals, but none of them were used.

Fortunately, although this rebellion failed to keep the new empire in a state of chaos for a long time, it should also seriously damage the empire.On the surface, they lost two legions. The first legion and the second legion are all gone now, and the other legions seem to have some problems.

In short, this is the moment when the empire is weak, and they are trying to understand the specific situation.At this time, there was news that Linton had usurped the throne, and they were asked to watch the ceremony.They came here at this time with the mission of investigating the reality of the empire.
