Chapter 595 - 83: Great Changes in Dongsheng
Wu Jiang first withdrew the military garrison from the stronghold and handed Barré over to Xie’an, thinking that Xie’an would kill Barré. However, unexpectedly, Xie’an also played a clever trick. During Barré’s captivity, he struck a deal with him to fake his death and deceive Wu Jiang, who was watching from the shadows. He then imprisoned him.
Although they lost Barré, a top-tier leader, Wu Jiang, who still controlled a million soldiers, remained a tough bone to chew. The allied forces were initially prepared for a prolonged war. However, Wu Jiang somehow discovered a way to enter the Extreme Magic Abyss. He first used the war to kill all the generals loyal to Barré, and then led his troops into the Extreme Magic Abyss.
"So, that’s why the Extreme Magic Abyss was so quickly taken by the Human Race?" Tai’e took a deep breath. It wasn’t just Barré he had misjudged; it was Wu Jiang. The Abyss, pivotal to the everlasting prosperity of the Beastman Race, and all he could think about was whether he could reclaim the throne that was once his.
Just by that alone, he wasn’t fit to be the Orc Emperor.
"No wonder Konstantin could reach out to me. At first, I didn’t believe the news of your capture..."
Barré was Tai’e’s brother. Seeing his own brother in such a desolate state, Tai’e couldn’t bear to blame him any further and then said, "Forget it, come back with me!"
Nuoshan guessed right — Konstantin indeed had played a trick on this lion-led expedition, using Barré’s life as leverage to orchestrate this charade of a battle.
His goal was smoothly achieved. Many of the strong, who dominated separate realms, were secretly killed. In the recent days, realms that lost their top leaders all submitted to Konstantin, sending troops unconditionally to aid the empire, their subservient attitude crystal clear.
The Extreme Magic Abyss was sealed again, and the war between the two great empires was put to an end. However, this peace was temporary. Every ruler knew, Tai’e would not give up on the Abyss. When the Orc Empire launches its next expedition, it would be fiercer and more brutal than this one.
Konstantin was quite pleased with the outcome of his plotting, but the news about the Extreme Magic Abyss again gave him a headache.
A night meeting was held between Eagle Alliance Duke Nuoshan, Snow Realm Emperor Bu Sheng, and Human Emperor Konstantin.
