BXBX NOVEL Chapter 322 Plans For The Highlands
The moment he did, the blood pool seemed to glow slightly.
This was something that he instantly noticed.
Carla stood to her feet and walked one step at a time, until she entered the blood pool.
She turned and stared an Chiron.
She gave a slight smile that revealed her bloody teeth and then with a dive, she went into the blood pool.
The beast cores at the different edges glowed lightly.
Chiron turned to Emma, "make sure to change the cores every three hours."
"Yes master," she nodded.
Chiron turned and walked back to the palace.
"Wait! That's it?" Commander Hardstone asked.
Chiron nodded, "Basically, yeah that's it. We just have to wait for her to cook a while."
"And how long will that take?"
"Give or take, a couple of days if she is early, or weeks if she is not."
"But that's too far. We already have an emergency on our hands."
Chiron raised a brow at him, "what emergency?"
"I did not want to say it when we arrived because you already had your hands full. The truth is that things have turned around at the other battlefields.
"The tides of the war have changed. The Highlanders have engaged us in battle like never before. The men stationed there are dying in their hundreds. The Bear mother's gift is no longer working. The worse part is that the men are too used to the Bear mother's gift that many have forgotten what it is like fighting in a war where they can't see the future. The Uncertainty of life and death has run many of them wild. They are even some that have desserted the military."
Captain Timi heard this and he frowned.
Now, he was starting to understand why Chiron had not cared for the Bear mother's blessing.
A dependance on it had made the senses of the soldiers dulled, and now that they were faced with the harsh reality of the battlefield, they had become cowards.
They was indeed no better way for the army of the Vandora kingdom to peel itself apart than these method.
Captain Timi was moved by what he had just heard, and he really wanted to step forward to do something about it.
However, he quickly noticed that Chiron did not appear to have the same sense of urgency that he did.
In fact, Chiron only nodded at Commander Hardstone's words like it did not concern him, or like he was only listening to news about a cat finding it's missing ball.
"Well, it's a good thing that I have a very capable uncle. I believe he is already on it."
Commander Hardstone stepped forward, "That is the thing. This is a problem that we are facing not just in the North but also the west. The Beast people are already ferocious by nature. The little advantage we had over them was the ability of the Bear mother. However, because of their traditions, they do not desire to stray too far from their lands. Prince Victor claiming that he was holding back the west has abandoned the north. The only thing holding back those barbarians are the Tesseracts stationed there."
"Hmmm! I see. It would seem like they are working hard. I would pray the Bear mother for them."
Chiron continued walking away.
Commander Hardstone really could not believe this.
He hurried after him, "Prince Chiron, you clearly have both the capability and military strength to help out in the Northern region. We really need your help there. I could have gone myself, but someone has to stay with the king. If His Majesty had not insisted, I wouldn't even be here right now. Barbara of the Rubrum tribe is killing us there."
However, Chiron suddenly stopped in his steps, and then he turned to Commander Hardstone.
"Did you say Barbara of the Rubrum tribe!?"
"Yes your highness. You... Know her?" The commander asked in surprise. After all, Barbara was a relatively new name in the public.
The only reason why her name was out there was because of her brother's sudden collapse.
After all, Momoa had been in the lime light for far too long.
It was actually a surprise that Chiron would know her, especially with how full his hands had been as of late.
What he did not know was that Chiron knew Barbara far more than he would admit.
In fact, one could say that they had a certain physical relationship.
Although this was not with him. It was more with the MC of the book.
Barbara was his first lover.
Of course, that description was relative to a lot of things.
One of them being that at the time, Barbara was using the MC as she had lost favor with the Holy Church.
And the MC of the book, blinded by love, did her bidding.
Surprisingly, it was not the first time that Barbara had used her body to get what she wanted.
Her loins were a thirst trap for undisciplined men, and aside her constant schemes and devilish plans, she was a woman very well willing to sleep with even the Lord of the Nether if it gave her power.
Chiron remembered that it was at this time that she began her expansion, using her people as the cornerstone and claiming that it was all for love for her people.
For her plans, she had a dog that she used to execute very precised assaults.
A dog that made a name for himself during the war With the Chikitsa kingdom.
Chiron remembered the nature of that dog.
It was a pet of hers that she later regretted not taking full advantage of as she lacked the necessary knowledge at the time.
After all, an aura dual user was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
In fact, if she had done the needful, she might have by far surpassed her previous limits.
Besides, that dog had a mother with an also precious body.
Chiron had lost one God child. He was not going to yet again lose another.
Now, Chiron was interested.
