Chapter 1602: Chapter 709: Northern Expedition Against the Heaven Demon Banner! Courting Death! (Part 2)
The Rakshasa King values face greatly, if the Tiancha King attacks the Rakshasa Tribe, it would mean an all-out struggle to the death, completely losing the chance to win him over.
The Rakshasa King is a man with a very complex personality.
He is very smart, with sharp vision, full of crisis awareness. Therefore, he was the first to discover the Tiancha King’s ambitions and has been working tirelessly for years to form the Demon Alliance.
He is extremely vain and would risk everything for his pride.
Thus, he was well aware that the Little Rakshasa King would be the best heir, but for the sake of his own prestige, he didn’t hesitate to make the Rakshasa King write a military directive, causing this succession crisis, despite knowing that changing the heir would bring a great crisis to the Rakshasa Tribe.
He is easily swayed by his emotions, once he speaks, he never takes back his words, so he often does things he knows are wrong and doesn’t intend to do, yet does them nonetheless.
But, at the same time, his heart is perpetually filled with compromise.
For instance, Madam Heisha repeatedly insulted him, and Gutu even attempted to defile his daughter, Princess Sha Yan.
Though extremely angry, he ultimately compromised, for the sake of his own reputation, for the authority of his words, and to chastise the Little Rakshasa King, he forcibly divorced Sha Yan from Lanling and wed Sha Yan to Gutu.
Thus, it’s very difficult to describe this person with a single word.
Whether it’s “powder keg” or “wise and brilliant” cannot be used to describe this person.
Precisely because of this personality trait, the Tiancha King always regarded the Rakshasa King as a proponent of surrender.
Unlike the Dichacha King, he is arrogant and self-serving. On the surface, he appears far less intelligent and insightful than the Rakshasa King, but he is stubborn, absolutely refusing to surrender, preferring to fight to the death rather than surrender.
Based on this analysis, Little Rakshasa King and Lanling both concluded that the Tiancha King’s first target for conquest would undoubtedly be the Dichacha Clan, without any surprises.
…
Tiancha Tribe, Tongtian Pavilion.
The Crown Prince Tiancha said, “Father, the Little Rakshasa King, using his position as Crown Prince as a wager, has sent an expeditionary army of over two hundred thousand to the Dichacha Defensive Line.”
The Tiancha King sighed, “Rakshasa, the fool, has indeed raised a fine son. What a pity, though, that his wisdom isn’t enough to win over such an outstanding son.”
The Crown Prince Tiancha asked, “How should we respond?”
The Tiancha King replied, “Continuing as planned, while the Rakshasa Crown Prince disrupts our blitzkrieg, it merely buys time, extending the period for eliminating the Dichacha Clan, but it won’t change the overall situation.”
The Crown Prince Tiancha said, “But once the war breaks out and proves the Rakshasa Crown Prince correct, the Demon Alliance will immediately appoint him as commander, leading the Alliance’s army, what then?”
The Tiancha King shook his head, “Impossible, you overestimate the generosity of those six Demon Kings. Once war breaks out and proves them wrong while only the Rakshasa Crown Prince is right, they will only suppress him more and isolate him further.”
The Crown Prince Tiancha asked, “Should we immediately remove him to avoid obstructing our conquest strategy?”
“No!” Princess Di Nie, who had been silent, said, “I want to defeat him on the battlefield, don’t kill him.”
The Tiancha King laughed heartily, “Do you hear that? Don’t touch him, leave it to Di Nie to defeat him thoroughly on the battlefield, then kill him!”
…
Rakshasa City!
Recently, Rakshasa City was almost deathly silent.
Everyone awaited the outbreak of war, wondering whether it would occur at the Rakshasa Tribe border or the Dichacha Clan border.
Was the Rakshasa Crown Prince right or wrong?
No one dared to speak as the massive royal city seemed to hold its breath.
However…
Early this morning, noise and commotion completely shattered the silence.
The massive Crystal Stone Cannons sounded, and the bright light of the crystal fireworks nearly overshadowed the sunlight.
Joyful and intense music echoed throughout the entire Rakshasa City.
Every street in Rakshasa City was filled with flowers.
Every house leading to Princess Sha Yan’s residence was adorned with red silk.
An unprecedentedly large bridal procession appeared within Rakshasa City.
The disciple of Master Chonglou, Demon Banner’s Young Master Gutu, was marrying Princess Sha Yan.
The Rakshasa King’s elder brother, an elder of the Rakshasa Royal Family, Elder Mokan personally officiated the wedding.
The Heaven Demon Banner deployed a hundred thousand cavalry, along with ten thousand airborne cavalry, to Rakshasa City to escort Princess Sha Yan.
This was an unprecedented extravagance, even surpassing the Little Rakshasa King’s marriage to Empress Ni Shang.
This unexpected wedding startled the entire Rakshasa Domain, shocking all of Rakshasa City.
Many were astonished, wasn’t Princess Sha Yan already married? Isn’t she the wife of the Blazing Demon Banner-Master Lanling? How now, has the Heaven Demon Banner come to propose marriage?
Could this be a forced seizure?
The massive bridal procession arrived outside Princess Sha Yan’s residence, encircling the entire estate again and again.
Young Master Gutu, atop a gigantic ghost manta ray, dressed in a gold-embroidered robe like a regal bridegroom, circled above Princess Sha Yan’s residence and shouted loudly, “Where is my wife, Sha Yan? I’ve come to take you back to Demon City for the wedding ceremony.”
Within Princess Sha Yan’s residence, there was silence.
Young Master Gutu shouted again, “Where is my wife, Princess Sha Yan? I’ve come to take you back to Demon City for the wedding ceremony.”
