Chapter 1274: Your Majesty
"I, Adolf Enzo, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Marshal Adolf knelt down on one knee towards the figure leaning against the round pavilion.
Looking at the entire Saint Laurent Empire, even the current Saint Laurent V cannot bear the kneeling of the "Wall of the Empire" before him.
However, the blond man leaning against the round pavilion at this moment was contented. He was even slowly shaking the red wine in the crystal glass, admiring the gorgeous light and shadow formed by the continuous refraction of the crystal glass and the wine in the sunlight.
"Adolf, to be honest, I really don't want to see you. Every time you show up, it's always something bad."
The blond man who said this did not even move his eyes, and was always admiring the light and shadow in his hand.
During this period, Adolf was obviously not surprised by the other party's words.
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
At this point, the other party's identity is basically clear.
In today's Saint Laurent Empire, the only person who can make Marshal Adolf so respectful is the super strong man who has reached the level of Zongheng Realm!
Of course, apart from this strength, there is another very important reason, that is because of the other party's identity, known in history as Saint Laurent I! He is the founding emperor of the Saint Laurent Empire! He is also his mentor on the road of martial arts!
Ever since the war between the Saint Laurent Empire and the Greenskin Camp broke out, Saint Laurent I, as the only powerful person in the Saint Laurent Empire, moved from his courtyard in the Imperial City to the border fortress.
The purpose is to guard the border and keep a check on the green-skinned emperor at any time.
This luxurious courtyard was built specifically for him.
At this moment, looking at Marshal Adolf's respectful look, Saint Laurent I waved his hand in boredom.
Adolf, who knew his mentor's character well, immediately understood and began to explain his purpose.
After listening to this, Saint Laurent I's expression became noticeably more serious.
"Do you want me to take the initiative and start this fight?"
"Your Majesty, the current situation is that the greenskins are stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. If the reinforcements really arrive by then, I'm afraid we will be at a disadvantage in terms of manpower and even the number of Vajra Realm warriors."
In the current situation, he and the Greenskin Emperor, both in the Vertical and Horizontal Realm, are checking and balancing each other, and neither can do anything to the other. If the opposing Greenskin camp completely suppresses them in terms of Vajra Realm powerhouses and military strength, then this battle will most likely be impossible to win.
"So we need to strike first before the enemy reinforcements arrive. When the time comes, please kill one of the enemy's generals first! Expand our advantage!"
As a strong man at the Zongheng realm, he has the advantage of attacking first. A warrior at the Vajra realm can be killed in seconds by them.
But on the other hand, there will be some consumption after such an attack.
The cost of killing a Vajra Realm warrior is not small, but once you fight with the green-skinned emperor to the end, there is no guarantee that you will not be at a disadvantage in the end.
In other words, his move brought an advantage to his side, but put the risk on himself! He was not afraid of death. Considering his age, he was over 500 years old. You couldn't say that he was impatient with life, but after so many years, he had experienced so many births, aging, illnesses and deaths. He really looked down on the issue of life and death.
The main reason is that I have lived for a long time and it is indeed boring.
As the founding emperor of the Saint Laurent Empire, what did he want here? Drinking, having fun, and making love were only good for the first few years. After a few decades, people would lose interest. Not to mention that he had been through hundreds of years and was really tired of it. His life became boring.
During this process, it was the fights with the green-skinned emperor that brought him more excitement.
So he actually doesn't reject fighting the greenskin emperor.
What he is worried about now is what would happen if he lost.
After all, the current Saint Laurent royal family are his descendants, and he has also watched the Saint Laurent Empire grow step by step, just like his own children. This inevitably makes him feel concerned and he cannot completely let go.
Once he strikes first, he will definitely be at a disadvantage compared to the green-skinned emperor in terms of condition.
If he was defeated and killed, what would be the use of the Vajra Realm warriors and the army under him even if they won the battle against the greenskin army? Could they still kill the greenskin emperor? As long as the greenskin emperor was still there, the greenskin army would still have the capital to make a comeback.
But if he was gone, would the Saint Laurent Empire be able to make a comeback? Wouldn't it be a dead end in the end? Therefore, whether he was alive or not might not be that important to him.
But it is very important to the Saint Laurent Empire and even to all the forces living on this land!
Over the past five hundred years since the founding of the Saint Laurent Empire, Marshal Adolf could be said to be the person who had accompanied Saint Laurent I the longest. In fact, he was more or less aware of his mentor's thoughts.
However, the problem now is that they actually have no choice.
Now they can at least give it a try, otherwise once the greenskin reinforcements arrive and they launch a full-scale offensive, they will be dead.
Saint Laurent I apparently quickly figured out the key and nodded.
"I understand. Once everything is ready, send someone to notify me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, Adolf did not stay for long and quickly retreated.
Considering that the greenskins have already asked for help, the faster they act now the better. Now that the war is imminent, there is still a lot of work waiting for him to deal with, and he doesn't have that much time to waste here.
Watching Adolf leave the courtyard until he disappeared from his sight, Saint Laurent I drank the red wine in the glass and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Will this be the last battle?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't know if it was the effect of the alcohol, but he suddenly felt his blood boiling for the first time in a long time.
"Well, it's time to stretch my muscles!"
As he spoke, Saint Laurent I walked towards the martial arts training ground at the other end of the courtyard.
At the same time, Marshal Adolf, who had left the courtyard, conveyed the message to the Pegasus Knight who stayed here and waited for their reply as quickly as possible, and asked him to bring the message to Li Ce.
"call--"
After listening to the report from the Pegasus Knight, Li Ce let out a long breath inside the tent, and his whole mental state was obviously lifted.
"The war is about to begin. Pass my order and summon all the generals to discuss the matter!"
