Chapter 444 - 445 – First prince problems.
[Current location: Capital city of the Oin empire]
"ALL OF THEM?! NON OF MY SOLDIERS SURVIVED!?" – shouted the first prince.
"What about these so called "Rankers"!? Did they also failed?!"
"A-according to our informations, the ones that defeated our army was the army led by non-other than GreyHunt, the vice guild master of the Purple Hyena guild." – said the soldier that was in the room.
"Wait, hold on." – said the annoyed prince.
"Are you fuking saying that the one that destroyed my FUKING army wasn't that lich dragon ClownFrog, but instead his second in command?"
"Y-yes… Apparently he took down the rankers without much problem as well as their guilds…. Resulting in most of them getting killed by him." – replied the soldier.
"…."
"Did anybody survived?" – asked the annoyed prince.
"O-only the scouts that were in the backlines in case of emergency…. But even… Only few survived." – said the soldier.
"…."
(How…. HOW?!) – though the furious prince as he began releasing an huge amount of bloodlust, scaring the soldier to the point he straight up ran out of the room in fear.
(Its not like neither me or that fucker were holding back this time! Hell! I even know that the fuking deployed dragons and used that greedy church help! But even he got destroyed!)
(I even equipped my elite soldiers with the holy light weapons and armors, but you are fuking telling me that NON OF THEM FUKING SURVIVED?!)
(I KNOW THAT THE GAROG KINGDOM IS FAR STRONGER THAN WE HAD THOUGH ON THE START, BUT THIS?! HOW DOES ANY OF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE?!)
(Can taking over the great danger zone and weaponizing it really give that much power?!)
(FUCK!)
(If I knew it, I would had used all of my resources possible to take over 1 of the great danger zones without carrying about casualties, since if it can give you THAT kind of power, then there is no way to complain….)
(But the fuck do we do now?)
(There was already scandal going around after what that retard Simon did and now? The informations about our "BIG DEFEAT" are spreading everything….. The fuking Garog kingdom must had their hands in regarding the sudden information spread.)
(There is also this…. What the fuck is Amelia doing?! She suddenly said that she gives up on her right to the throne out of a blue?!)
(NOW?! NOW OF ALL FUKING TIMES?!)
(What is that whore thinking?! Does she have any idea what kind of…. NO! Knowing her, she is fully aware of the consequences and what sort of impact this would have…. So why the hell she did that if she knew what would had happened?!)
(Is she planning something in secret?)
(But what?)
(…..)
"!"
"The contract!"
(She wanted to get out of the contract effect… But why?)
(…. Did she betrayed the empire?)
(The contract would kill the moment she betrays the Oin empire…. There is also the rule that forces here to fight the Garog kingdom since they are threat to the Oin empire.)
(So she either betrayed us or she wanted to avoid the fight with Garog kingdom by any means necessary.)
(…..I will contact Erun and talk about this with him.)
(I hate that bastard guts, but its better to make sure that we don't have an extra enemy walking around.)
"?" – the prince stared at the door as soon as somebody began knocking at it.
"Enter." – said the prince before moments later an knight entered the room.
"Please excuse me." – said the knight.
"Straight to the point. What is it?" – asked the prince with annoyed expression.
"Well…. Somebody came and made an sudden visit… They claim that they are able to provide an army of 5 000 people." – said the confused knight.
"?"
"5 000 people?" – said the shocked and confused prince.
"…."
"Who is that?" – asked serios prince.
"We don't know. He did not wanted to identified himself, but he said that he is willing to come and have an talk with you, even while being watched over by the elites knights." – said the knight.
"…."
(Is that an assassin? Garog kingdom trick?)
(The timing is way too off and the proposition to talk is stupid.)
(Or maybe this is some sort of scammer noble that wants to sell me some untrained farmer soldiers.)
(Who ever they are, they are straight up asking for the death.)
"Take them in and make them be escorted by the elite knights and have assassins on the standby just in case. As soon as they act any suspicious way, kill them on the spot." – said the prince.
"Yes sir." – replied the knights.
The prince waited in the throne room before sometime later the group of knights had brough an middle aged man into the throne room.
"Well, I was expecting you to give me some escort… But don't you think this is a bit too much?" – asked the middle aged man in robe as he was surrounded by the knights.
"Well, would anybody have an possible assassin stroll right into the castle like this?" – replied annoyed prince.
"Who the hell are you and what do you want?"
"Oh? That. Yea I lied." – said the middle aged man.
"…."
"What?" – said the prince as the knights took out their swords and pointed it at the man.
"Okay. Calm down now. I don't have the 5 000 soldiers on me right now, but I know the way on how you can secure them." – said the middle aged man calmly without carrying about the swords getting pointed at him.
"Tch. Fuking scammer." – said the annoyed and pissed off prince as he grabbed his Halbert.
"Are those your fuking last words?" – asked the prince as he pointed the tip of his Halbert against the man face.
"Well, no." – said the middle aged man while smiling.
"I mean, you want power to crush the Garog kingdom and secure the throne of the empire, don't you?"
"And by any chance, does that mean that you are willing to do it by any means necessary?"
"?" – the prince lowered his spear for the moment while looking confused.
"You have 5 minutes to explain yourself." – said the prince.
"Okay." – said the middle aged man while smiling.
"Now. I'm going to reach for my pocket and take out an scroll. Is this okay?"
"…Do it. But slowly." – said the prince, warning the men that if he tries anything, he will die instantly.
"I understand." – said the man as he slowly moved his hands and made it completely visible to everybody to the room as he reached to his pocket and took out an scroll.
"This is an monster scroll. It contains an monster under my control that is sealed inside of it."
"The soldiers I was talking about is based on the creature inside this scroll… Do you mind me summoning it?"
"…. Do it." – said the prince.
The man nodded his head while smiling before then getting on his knees and opening the scroll on the ground.
The contest of the scroll looked like that of an magic book, but it had also an eastern like appearance.
"Okay. I'm summoning it." – said the middle aged man before the scroll activates while the knights aimed at the man with their swords, ready to strike him down.
The magic scroll activates and moments later an humanoid creature in armor emerged from the scroll.
"?"
"An puppet? Reall?" – said the disappointed prince.
"?"
(Wait…. No… This isn't an puppet….. It human-)
"?!"
"YOU BASTARD!" – shouted prince Apollo.
"Oh? You recognized what this it from the get go?" – said the middle aged man while the knights looked both alarmed and confused upon witnessing the prince reaction.
"YOU FUCKER! HOW THE HELL YOU GOT YOUR HANDS ON THAT?!" – shouted the furious prince as his bloodlust began spreading through the throne room, but not fazing one bit the middle aged man.
"Now, now. How about we calm down an moment?" – asked the middle aged man.
"CALM DOWN?! YOU FUCKER! THIS IS THE HUMANOID MONSTER! THE FUKING KIND OF MAN MADE MONSTERS THAT BASTARD SIMON USED!"
"!"
"You! IT WAS FUKING YOU!" – shouted the prince as he realized who the middle aged man was.
"You are the fucker that worked with Simon behind the scenes!"
(I fuking knew it that somebody must have supported that bastard Simon, but to think that bastard came here willingly!)
Apollo swinged his Halbert and stopped it right next to the man neck.
"Give me one solid reason why I shouldn't kill you, you motherfucker." – said bloodthirsty prince Apollo.
"Well, obviously to give you an weapon." – said the middle aged man, before moments later prince Apollo moved his blade right next to the man neck, slashing it and causing it to bleed.
"Do you think I'm fuking buying that?" – asked Apollo.
"Do you have ANY FUKING IDEA WHAT DOES MONSTERS DID?!"
"And what they need in order to be created?!"
"You fuking butchered the people of the Oin empire to FUKING MAKE THOSE MONSTERS! MY PEOPLE!"
"I think I will be an world an favor by killing the scum like you."
"Well, you maybe will… But tell me, is it worth it?" – asked the middle aged man.
"You may despise these creatures, but is it truly it?"
"What if what you are feeling isn't "Wrath" but instead an "Envy"?
"Don't you wish for this kind of power to be yours? An power that will allow you to crush your enemies and take control over the entire Oin empire with ease."
"Common, you can't say that you are not interested."
"You are greedy."
"You want that kind of power at your disposal…. So? What do you say?"
"Want to talk?"
