Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1839 Come Out Right Now
The following day, the head of the Blood Fief's leader was seen hanging in front of the gate of hismansion. It was done intentionally so that everyone could see the horrifying scene.
"The leader is dead! He has been killed!"
Soon enough, the news of the death of the Blood Fief's leader quickly spread throughout the maincity like wildfire. The citizens were scared for their lives. Right now, the Blood Fief did not have aleader, so no one was going to take command.
At the same time, Rocky took the opportunity to lead the independent army and launch an attackon the main city. Since the remaining warriors and soldiers were suffering from low morale, theywere easily brought down.
Soon enough, the city walls broke down and chaos spread out even further.
Not long after, several elders and Spiritual Emperors from the leader's mansion rushed over toconfront the independent army with all their might.
However, as soon as Rocky displayed his strength at the Shura Realm, he was able to easily suppressthe elders and the Spiritual Emperors of the Blood Fief.
After that, Rocky went on a killing spree, slaughtering the elders and the Spiritual Emperors as if hewas a killing machine.
Due to Rocky's heroics and superior strength, the capital of the Blood Fief was completely capturedafter a day.
Except for the spirit warriors from the leader's mansion, the independent army let go of the ordinarypeople, driving them out of the city.
Immediately after, the independent army established a defensive arrangement throughout the city.Now that their primary goal was completed, they were to wait until the negotiation with the ShuraRace was realized.
Soon enough, the news that the entire Blood Fief fell reached the royal family, as well as the otherfiefs. Obviously, this caused quite a stir. No one expected that it would lose easily to some unknownforce.
Two days later, the grim news also reached Zain, who was currently at the front line.
"The Blood Fief has been occupied by a human army? In exchange for the fief, they want me towithdraw my army from the territory of the human race?" When Zain heard this information, hecould not help but be furious and dumbfounded at the same time.
"Your Royal Highness, is this the work of the spiritual race? Maybe they are trying to take advantageof the situation!" one of Zain's trusted subordinates speculated.
"No, I don't think so. This is likely done by the human army. Only they have the motive to make suchdemands. But how the hell did they get past the border of the Shura Race under our watch?" Zainuttered in disdain. His eyes narrowed as he pondered on these thoughts.
"What are we going to do now? Do we pull back?" the subordinate asked.
"Pull back? Of course not! Ask the royal family to send soldiers to reclaim the Blood Fief! I don'thave time to waste playing their games!" Zain answered sternly. He knew that their current positionin the territory of the human race was of great importance. The defenses of the human army wereabout to collapse, so it would be a total waste if he suddenly decided to retreat. In just a few days,he would be able to break through to the Ethereal Region, which would mean that his victory wasalready within reach.
At the same time, just as Rocky expected, all of the other fiefs were just waiting and watching howthe situation would play out. None of them wanted to get involved in the chaos since it would notdo them any good. At this point, only the royal family was angry enough to send a huge armyconsisting of fifty thousand soldiers just to take the Blood Fief back.
However, even with the efforts of the royal family, they did not expect that the army led by Rockywas formidable enough to defeat them in just three days.
Due to this another huge loss, the royal family was already getting worried and frustrated. If theeight fiefs did not make a move on their own to fight this human army, the Shura Race wouldeventually face such a disgrace.
At last, the royal family could only turn to Zain. They asked him to withdraw his forces from theterritory of the human race in order to prioritize the matter with the Blood Fief.
Unexpectedly, even after Zain received the order, he did not obey at all. At the back of his mind, hewas a prince, a direct descendant of the current king. Hence, even if the royal family got extremelymad because of his disobedience, he would not be punished
As they learned that Zain refused to withdraw his army, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction within theroyal family.
After all, the nine major fiefs were the foundation of the royal family's rein. Even if just one of themwas lost, it would be a huge deal.
Therefore, at this point, the king was left with no choice but to personally order Zain to go back.After receiving a direct order from the king, Zain was so upset because he could not possiblydisobey this time. Thus, even though he was very reluctant, he left half of his forces on the humandefense lines. Then, he led the remaining forces back to the Shura Race in order to take the BloodFief back from Rocky's independent army.
However, after getting a tip that Zain had already led half of his troops back to the Shura Race,Rocky, using his identity as Odin, immediately informed Gilbert and asked him to execute the planthat they had formed before. With that, Rocky secretly moved the core of his army away from thecity and ordered them to withdraw towards the border of the Shura Race.
Meanwhile, Gilbert, who had already prepared everything beforehand, asked two elders from theGhost Fief to lead an army of thirty thousand soldiers towards the Blood Fief.
Thus, with a perfectly executed act, Rocky's army and Gilbert's army put on a splendid show, makingeveryone believe that the Ghost Fief took the initiative to reclaim the Blood Fief. Hence, even beforeZain could make it back to the Shura Race, the Ghost Fief had successfully taken control of theBlood Fief from Rocky's hands.
Of course, many were astounded after knowing that the Ghost Fief made a move out of nowhere.At the same time, Zain was even more furious. After all, he wasted so much time just so he couldlead half of his army back to the Shura Race. But it was all in vain because the Blood Fief was alreadytaken over by the Ghost Fief.
It took Zain and his army days before arriving at the border. Thus, they were all very tired, and theyobviously needed time to recuperate before going on.
When Zain was finally back, he immediately investigated why the Ghost Fief had suddenly made amove to drive off the human army from the Blood Fief. Being a cunning man himself, he felt thatsomething was definitely off, and it must be related to the fact that the Ghost Fief was a supporterof Princess Layla. He thought that since the Ghost Fief had taken control of Blood Fief's capital, itwas already equivalent to conquering the entire Blood Fief. Beneath it all, this convenient situationwould greatly help Layla's campaign for the throne.
Meanwhile, Rocky had already led the independent army back to the gap that they had brokenbefore. He did not directly retreat towards the border since half of Zain's troops were still stationedthere. Since Zain had returned to the royal family in the meantime, Rocky thought that he couldchip away a part of the prince's troops in his absence.
While Rocky was carefully coming up with another plan to sabotage Zain's plan, the royal family wasin a heated discussion regarding the fact that the Blood Fief was easily captured by the humanarmy.
Moreover, when the army of the Ghost Fief finally occupied and took control of the Blood Fief, itattracted dissatisfaction from the other fiefs. After all, although they had no solid evidence, theycould not help but speculate that the Ghost Fief had something to do with the fall of the Blood Fief.Right now, the commander in chief of the Blood Fief's army, who was also the son of the late leaderof the fief, strongly protested and demanded the Ghost Fief to hand the reins of the Blood Fief backto them.
For this very reason, the king had no choice but to gather all of the eight leaders, as well as therepresentatives of the major forces of the royal family and the important ministers to discuss all ofthe matters at hand.
Hence, at this moment, in the imperial capital, the most powerful and prominent figures in theentire Shura Race were all gathered.
Of course, Zain, Layla, and Enoch, the three frontrunners to be the next leader of the royal familywere also present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I assume you already know why I summoned all of you here today. As youknow, the Blood Fief was recently captured by the human army. Furthermore, their leader wasbeheaded and was shown as a public display. This is the first time in the history of the Shura Racethat such a horrendous thing occurred! Now, I want to know what exactly happened!” The silver-haired king had a serious expression and was even oozing with a fiendish aura. Although he wasover a hundred and sixty years old right now, his power was still tremendous.
"I think that there were very suspicious things happening right under our noses. Your Majesty, I begthat this matter be investigated thoroughly!" Zain immediately expressed his opinion, hinting thatthe Ghost Fief had something to do with the bizarre turn of events.
"Yes, I agree that a thorough investigation is necessary. However, let us not forget the fact that theonly reason why the human army could get past the defense line of the Shura race and easilyconquer the Blood Fief is that Zain summoned a large number of soldiers to the front line. He evenrecruited from the soldiers of all the fiefs just so he could accomplish this supposed brilliant plan.However, as we all saw, not only was he unable to conquer the territory of the human race, hisactions also led to the fall of the Blood Fief!" At this time, Enoch stepped forward and gave his ownthoughts. Obviously, based on what he said, he wanted to pin all the blame on Zain.
