Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 118 – INVASION REGION RODRIGUEZ (bag. 1)
“What? Prince Brian lost?”
“Eyes that check there are also less clear see how the situation. It seems to be an extermination. None of his troops are left.”
As soon as he listened to the report brought by one of his men, the expression of Prince Fabian de Vlonhard, the third prince of the Vlonhard Empire, who was stationed at the northern border of the Ignitia Kingdom, instantly showed a frown.
It was a development that was beyond his expectations. Although Prince Brian was not as good as himself and his brother, Second Prince Ibelal who is now the new crown prince, at least with the number of 100,000 thousand soldiers he brought coupled with the cooperation of the betrayal of the Kingdom of Cabalcus, it should be easy to knock down the northern fortress of the Cabalcus Kingdom.
“Is this a Cabalcus Kingdom trap from the start?”
Prince Fabian could not escape thinking about that possibility.
But after considering for what reason or for what advantage the Kingdom of Cabalcus did that, it seemed almost impossible if the Kingdom of Cabalcus would commit backstabbing against the empire.
There is an army called ‘first order’ whose existence is currently unknown to both the Kingdom of Meglovia and the Kingdom of Ignitia which is owned by the empire as their trump card.
Trapping the empire by just getting rid of his 100,000 thousand ordinary soldiers was not something that would shake the foundations of the Vlonhard Empire. The Kingdom of Cabalcus should know this well and it was unlikely that they would betray the empire.
So what exactly happened?
Prince Fabian was completely unable to hide his confusion.
“Then what is the order of the Emperor?”
“For the time being, we are ordered to retreat since the flops strategy can no longer be applied in the absence of His Majesty Prince Brian.”
“I understand. Let's retreat.”
Thus, the third prince of the Vlonhard Empire, Fabian de Vlonhard, chose the strategy of retreating with the 50,000 soldiers he led from the northern border battlefield of the Ignitia Kingdom.
***
This was in contrast to the 90,000 soldiers led by Ibelal Star Vlonhard.
“Your Highness Crown Prince, shouldn't we obey the Emperor's order to retreat?”
“Since when did you become such a coward, Charlot?! Did your defeat last time traumatize you so much that you ended up like a chick?!”
“Not so His Highness the Crown Prince, afraid you will get a negative image in front of the Emperor.”
“Ayahanda just told us to back off because seeing our chances of winning are small. As long as we manage to bring home an achievement, he will never be angry. We just need to ravage the north of the damn kingdom and go straight back to our homeland. They are still in the recovery stage after the cholera outbreak disaster, so this will be an easy job.”
Although with a heavy heart, Charlot Jackiel Albaramaz finally agreed to the selfish wishes of the second prince he served, no, now he has officially become the crown prince of the Vlonhard Empire in place of his deceased predecessor, the late Crown Prince Albexus Star Vlonhard.
“According to your wishes, Your Highness Crown Prince.”
Unlike the northern border of the Ignitia Kingdom, war was inevitable on the northern border of the Meglovia Kingdom.
***
“That's... those damn imperial dogs! How dare it be against my homeland, they ravage it so! Doctor Minerva, as the arch wizard, you must have also realized the negative energy from that westward right? The massacre of the people of the Kingdom of Meglovia was taking place in the north. That bastard not only slaughtered the soldiers, but also the common people.”
Helios de Meglovia, the second prince of the Kingdom of Meglovia, was unable to hold back his anger at the cowardly actions that the empire had committed in his homeland. With a look of seriousness, Helios touched Doctor Minerva's shoulder.
“Doctor Minerva, by using your portal, please take me immediately to that place.”
But at Helios' request, Doctor Minerva shook her head.
“Sorry, Prince Helios, but I have to reject your request.”
“Why?”
“There will be a big problem if the information of the power of my portal is heard to the ears of the holy temple.”
“Why?”
Again, Helios asked in surprise.
“This is in anticipation of the movement of Rahib Robell Zarkan. This is just my guess, maybe he's also working with Monk Vyndicta Eros. Oh yes, you already know about imperial trump card, warrior ‘first order’?
Helios really doesn't know. He had been investigating the Vlonhard Empire from above the air using his familiars, but not once had he found the gap he had associated with the slightest information related to ‘first order’.
“That we will discuss later. After all, you have to protect your wife as well as your newborn, right? As well as you also have to take care of the body of Your Brother, His Highness Crown Prince Tius Star Meglovia.”
Hearing the words of Doctor Minerva, Helios was finally recalled by her deep sadness, the departure of her two – brothers, Tius Star Meglovia, following the departure of Leon de Meglovia for eternity. He was instantly unable to say anything.
He just looked at his wife who was sleeping soundly with a baby boy beside him who was laughing cheerfully watching his father's handsome face.
“It's true. There's something more important that I have to protect.”
Helios said with a smile on her face.
“Thank God, son, you were born into this world so that it further strengthens Dad to rise from the slump of Father.”
Helios momentarily toyed with her son by sticking out the tip of his right index finger. It seems that the new born son to the world really enjoys playing with the index finger of the father. Helios smiled softly at her son.
But suddenly, his expression turned back.
“But I remain unwilling to see the imperial dogs ravage the northern regions of the kingdom. They have broken through the fort, but it appears Duke Rodriguez is unable to overcome it with his current strength.”
Doctor Minerva smiled. Anyone who is quick to respond can immediately know that it is a smile that has hidden intentions.
Doctor Minerva raised her right hand. Instantly a two-dimensional holographic image screen appeared before the two of them.
“This?”
As if satisfied with Prince Helios' shocked expression, Doctor Minerva boasted of his ability.
“Of course not only Prince Helios alone can magic like this right? I'm an arch wizard, so certainly more proficient than you on which. Although this is slightly different from the object embodiment in your familiar, the concept of image transfer is more or less the same.”
“So you realized the whereabouts of my familiars?”
“With any flow, even the smallest, there will be no arch wizard who will not realize it.”
“I have to be more careful from now on then.”
“Yes, although I have not understood the concept of transferring astral form to a real form in the creation of your familiar.”
“That's a talent from birth so I also find it hard to explain. It's just like you can't explain how you can breathe to someone because it happens naturally.”
“Is that?”
“That's. But more important than that, what do you want to show me?”
To Helios' question, Doctor Minerva pointed somewhere.
Helios immediately clarified the sketch using her sense-sharing abilities with her relatives who happened to be near the spot that Doctor Minerva showed through her two-dimensional hologram screen.
“They?”
“Of course they panic after finding out your wife suddenly ran off with Miss Yasmin right after hearing the news of you rampaging in the Kingdom of Cabalcus. They could instantly guess that Madame Talia was heading to your place. That was why they both ran as hard as they could towards this place.”
“By running? How can?”
“You don't know yet how optimal the development of your two men is.”
“But didn't he say Talia just moved here two days ago?”
“Yes, Alice and Albert were able to reach the western border area of the capital in just two days running without a break. With their current position, it would certainly only take about 6 hours to get to the northern region of unrest. For sure for that long, Duke Rodriguez will be able to survive. This is the best decision I think you can make without revealing my card to the empire and also the sacred temple.”
Helios listened calmly to Doctor Minerva's advice. But apparently, Helios had another thought.
“Maybe it's true what you said. But how many more lives would have to die during those 6 hours? Lend me a little bit of your portal to where they both are, Doctor Minerva. I have a slightly better plan.”
Then there was a small portal that was only the size of Alice and Albert's head which was precisely summoned in front of the two of them.
