Chapter 202: 202 Fixed Plan (Up)_1



When Prince Okamoto entered the conference hall, the entire room fell silent.

All eyes were on Prince Okamoto, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.

Modo the Second still maintained his straight posture, his expression remained indifferent, but upon careful observation, one could see the slight tremor in his hands.

Obviously, the Troll Emperor was not as calm as he appeared.

After patiently waiting for Prince Okamoto to finish his bow, Modo the Second finally asked the question that had been lingering in his heart: “Okamoto, why have you returned at this time? Where is your army?”

Upon hearing these words, Prince Okamoto kneeled down without hesitation and said with a gloomy look: “Your Majesty, I have failed your trust ?The Dark Cavalry has broken our scheme, the one hundred thousand troops heading south have ?have been completely wiped out!”

“What?” Exclaimed Modo the Second, he could no longer maintain the dignity and composure of an emperor, he jumped up from the throne, swearing:

“You fool! What exactly happened? Where’s my one hundred thousand troops? It hasn’t been that long? How could the whole army be annihilated so quickly?

And what do you mean by saying that the Dark Cavalry has broken our scheme? How could they have seen through it? Did someone leak information?

Speak up, say it!”

Prince Okamoto prostrated on the ground, quickly recounting the rough course of the previous battle, but then immediately placed the blame:

“Your Majesty, it’s all because of that traitor, Charles! He has revealed our plan to Colin, that’s why the Dark Cavalry knew that the Troll Royal City was a trap.

It was due to this that Colin Angler came to know that the large southward-bound army led by me was merely a facade, and thus he lay in ambush outside the Wind Roar Fortress, launching an ambush on us ”

“Bullshit!” Prince Meruvi stepped forward, kicking Prince Okamoto to the ground, and roared, “What facade? You had a hundred thousand troops at your command! Among them were thirty thousand elite soldiers, even three thousand wolf riders!

Tell me, how could a mere ten thousand Dark Cavalry annihilate a hundred thousand troops in such a short time?”

“Enough.” Prince Abbas suddenly spoke up, “In the open wilderness, facing the Dark Cavalry, even with a numerical advantage, who among you dares to say they could come out unscathed? Meruvi, do you dare?”

Prince Meruvi’s forehead had veins popping, it seemed that Prince Abbas’s questioning had triggered some unpleasant memories. His breath grew heavier, his face flushed, but it was unclear if it was due to anger or shame.

“Abbas! Are you trying to exonerate a defeated general?”

“I am not trying to exonerate Okamoto. I’m just reminding you that this devastating defeat is not solely Okamoto’s fault! I warned you before, although Charles held resentment towards his father, he might not be truly willing to work for us.

Look, as expected, he is the one who messed up!”

“Ahem.” At this point, Modo the Second could no longer maintain face, as Prince Abbas’s words also made him feel awkward.

After all, he had also agreed with Mr. Ji’s proposal to lure the enemy, only to find that not only did the Dark Cavalry fail to attack the Troll Royal City, but instead a large army was lost.

“Now is not the time to assign responsibility, what is urgent, is how to deal with the Dark Cavalry entrenched in Wind Roar Fortress?”

In response to Modo the Second’s question, Prince Abbas immediately responded: “Your Majesty, I still stick to my previous point of view ???negotiation!”

“Negotiation my ass!” Prince Meruvi cursed again, “Abbas, you traitor of the Troll Tribe, all you think about day and night is negotiating with the North Territory! But have you ever thought, how can humans possibly coexist peacefully with Trolls?”

“Why not? Goblins can, Dwarves can, Half-Elves can, why not us Trolls?”

“Those races you mentioned are all weak enough, so humans can tolerate them.”

“Heh, Meruvi, have you forgotten? Okamoto has just recently reached a peace agreement with Duke St. Hilde.”

“Bullshit peace agreement!” Prince Meruvi’s spit almost sprayed onto Prince Abbas’s face, “That’s just because Duke St. Hilde needs time to resolve the internal conflict, then he is willing to have a temporary ceasefire with us. Once he is free, he will definitely not let us go!”

“You’re just making baseless assumptions ”

“Enough!” Modo the Second interrupted the quarrel between the two princes again, “Meruvi, since you do not approve of the peace talks, what do you say we should do?”

“Your Majesty, we actually don’t need to do anything now, the Dark Cavalry will naturally leave!” Prince Meruvi said confidently:

“Since the plan has been leaked, the Dark Cavalry must know by now that there is still an elite army of fifty thousand in the Royal City. So, as long as Colin Angler still has a little sanity, he would not risk his precious cavalry to attack the Royal City.

Therefore, he will definitely retreat next. Don’t forget, the North Territory is a mess now, Colin Angler cannot possibly stay in Wind Roar Fortress for long.”

Prince Abbas sneered and challenged, “What if the Dark Cavalry sweep through the interior of the Empire before retreating to the North Territory?”

Prince Meruvi was taken aback by the question and clearly struggled to answer.

The Troll Empire’s last elite forces are now gathered in Troll Royal City. If the Dark Cavalry rampage around the Royal City, wreaking havoc, it would truly render the Troll Empire helpless, causing severe heartache.

While all the Troll nobles were lost in thought, Prince Okamoto, kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke again:

“Your Majesty, in fact, Viscount Angler let me return this time to deliver a message to you.”

“A message?” Modo the Second looked surprised, “You mean, Colin Angler wants to meet me?”

“Yes.” Prince Okamoto took a note from his bosom and presented it to Modo the Second.

After a quick glance, Modo the Second looked up again, his eyes scanning the group of nobles who were looking at him with curiosity, and said:

“This Colin Angler wants to meet me outside the Royal City to discuss peace talks.”

Prince Meruvi immediately shouted: “Your Majesty! This must be a trap, don’t get fooled!”

On the contrary, Prince Abbas suggested, “Your Majesty, perhaps Viscount Angler truly intends to negotiate peace. You don’t want to miss such an opportunity.”

“Bullshit!” Prince Meruvi cursed again, “Abbas, you ulterior-motives swine, how dare you suggest that His Majesty meets with the enemy outside the city, what if something happens to His Majesty ”

“There’s no need to worry about that.” Modo the Second waved the sheepskin scroll in his hand, explaining, “Viscount Angler has set the meeting place five kilometers outside the Royal City and promises that the Dark Cavalry will stay at least ten kilometers away.

Furthermore, both parties are only allowed to bring one guard to the meeting place.”

Upon hearing this proposal, Prince Meruvi frowned and pondered, but didn’t argue further.

Just as Modo the Second was about to agree to the proposal, Prince Okamoto opened his mouth again: “Your Majesty, I think, this may actually be a golden opportunity for us.”

“What opportunity?” Modo the Second raised an eyebrow. He had not wanted to entertain the leader of the defeated army who had just lost one hundred thousand men, but the word “opportunity” piqued his interest.

Prince Okamoto raised his head, his eyes glinting with flames of revenge, and said solemnly:

“Your Majesty, we can take this opportunity to kill Colin Angler!”
