Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel -
Chapter 234 Let The War Drums Start Their Beat.
Chiron giggled a bit.
Meanwhile, every other person looked at him in surprise.
This included the king and Nora by his side.
In her head, they were only required to come for this meeting because it was compulsory.
Stay silent and leave. It was not too hard. But her brother just had to open his mouth.
She wanted to tug his shirt for him to read the atmosphere, but then she saw the smug look on his face.
Time and time again, Chiron had confidence that always came out with incredible results.
And every time he was about to do something outstanding, his smirk would appear.
like a king looking at a bunch of monkeys as they enjoyed their banana dance.
"Chiron!" Victor spoke his name through gritted teeth, "Did you just insult me!?"
Chiron suddenly had a surprised look on his face.
"Insult you!? Never! i would never think of doing such a thing. When you call a chicken a Chicken have you insulted it? You are only calling it by its nature and nothing more!"
"HUH!?"
Chiron's words were brazen, and everyone gasped at this.
Victor's face visible Contoured in anger. A vein on his forehead made its special guest appearance to signify that he was really holding back on rushing Chiron.
"Chiron!" the king called to him, "that is a very brazen thing to say. Are you saying that you have a better suggestion to the Chanland kingdom situation?"
"Actually, I do!" Chiron gently stood up from his seat. Step by step, he took his time as he walked around the table. He maintained Eye contact with the elders, not breaking his gaze for even a second.
Regardless of the fact that some of them here were cultivators with higher cultivation rans than him, he still looked at them like one would look at a pet.
The presence he carried almost rivaled that of the king.
"The Chanland kingdom has been your subordinates for many many years. Just because they now have a strong backer, they are flexing their muscles in your borders. Instead of you to show them why they were your surbordinates in the first place, you want to send gifts to congratulate their efforts for killing your people. What is the difference between you and a man that bought a rapist a drink for raping your wife?"
Those words made the chiefs frown.
Chiron had explained their situation with an example that really touched the hearts of this men.
"If I am correct, and I know I am. Members of the round table are not allowed to directly interfere with conflicts of their subordinate nations. This rule has always stood true for as long as possible."
"True!" Chief Wallow added, "but do you know the consequences of war? we have been at peace for many years. Instigating a war now will..."
"Will what?" Chiron gave the young chief a sacastic look. "You are addicted to peace times and that is why your brains are now mush. Filled with flowers and milk from breasts that you continually roll in. I assure you, if you continue in this manner, other nations will think you have become weak, and they will take advantage of this weakness."
"they will do no such thing," Prince Victor added, "we have reigned supreme on this continent for..."
*Boom!* The doors to the hall was suddenly opened and a commander walked inside. It was Commander Hardstone.
Immediately he entered, he bowed at the king, "Forgive me your majesty! but i have very important news. there are reports from the south and western borders of attacks from the beastman kingdom and the Hunter Tribes. They have already taken of two villages on either sides."
Those words went like a bomb going off in their ears.
Subconsciously, they all turned to Chiron.
Chiron raised his brow at them in a smug manner. Apparently, his prediction was true.
In actuality, Chiron did not predict these events.
rather, he had only based his assumptions on knowledge from his memories of this world.
Shortly after the Mc of the book left the Chikitsa clan, he had roamed around and then joined the Holy church.
As a member of the holy church, he was naturally required to learn its history.
The Holy church had made silent campaigns to increase their power, by taking over smaller kingdoms.
The plan was simple. Help a member of the royal family that was desperate for power climb the throne, and when that was done, the king would swear loyalty to the church.
In this manner, they increased their strength exponentially. Taking advantage of the power struggles within royal families.
the moment Chiron had heard that the Chanland Kingdom had just had a new king and the Holy church was his backer, Chiron realized what was happening.
this was about ten years earlier than the time the Mc of the book had joined the holy church.
it was exactly the time that the Operation to take over this continent for themselves had been set in motion.
If Chiron had one certified enemy in the whole of the world, then it was definitely the Holy church. Their divination of the Evil children and the tag they had placed on his head was a nightmare waiting to happen.
The Vandora kingdom was nothing like the Chikitsa Clan.
If they made attempt on him here, the Zodiac houses are going to be alarmed and that would spell immerse trouble.
It might even result into a war if it was not handle carefully.
Before, Chiron could not do anything about the Holy church. However, he was currently in a position of power. at the moment, he stood as a prince of the kingdom of vandora.
the privelege to even have cultivators stronger than him at his command was a reality. Of course, he was going to take proper advantage of the opportunity.
King Richard turned to Chiron, "hmmm! it seems that your prediction has been spot on!"
Victor gritted his teeth.
he could see it. With just a few words at one meeting, Chiron was catching up to him.
He had to do something about it. He had to redeem himself. "If the other nations and tribes think that we are weak, then lets do it. Let us go to war!"
Everyone in the room looked at him.
just like that, he had changed his stance. only a moment ago, he was dropping points as to why the war was not the right option and now, he was suddenly proving tough.
Without a doubt, they could all see his farce, but no one was going to say it.
"If we are going to go to war, then we would need to start stocking up on supplies. After all, winter is coming. A war on three sides in such a time even for us will not be easy!" Chief Ban added.
"Also, who is going to command this war?" Chief Wallow asked, "Our king is strong, but he is far past his prime. We also need him safe in such times. His safety and health will be a strong symbol to the people and our enemies that we are not weak and vulnerable."
"Then Why not the Prince!"
"Huh!" Everyone turned to who had just talked.
It was Elder baldie.
"Hmm! which Prince are you talking about?" Chief Ban asked.
"Well, Prince chiron had first suggested war. I'm sure that he is well ready for the consequences of such a decision."
Elder baldie had chosen his words wisely. He had not expressively shown his suport for Chiron, but then again, he had not denied it.
In this manner, he was both sitting on the fence and still showing that he was giving his backing and that of his Tribe.
This was something that Chiron took notice of.
King Richard gave a light chuckle. This was good. He had known Chiron was a capable person. But he had not expected that such capabilities would begin immediately.
It gave him a subtle but magnificent idea.
He coughed lowly, pulling the attention of all in the room to his side.
"I have seen that both Victor and Chiron are quite capable. So why don't we do it in this manner? Both of them will lead the campaign on all three sides."
"Huh!" Those words took everyone by surprise.
Although it had not been verbally said, everyone knew that this was the king's method of testing the capabilities of both princes. This on its own was not just to discipline the rouge nations and tribes but an opportunity for but of them to show their leadership qualities.
this was a silent competition for the throne of Vandora.
This made Victor frown, and he could not help but look in Chiron's direction. However, Chiron really could not even be bothered with him. As far as he was concerned, this was the obvious and only option a wise king was going to take.
"Both of you will pick your armies as you see fit. You have by the end of the week to be ready. I expect results in a month from now!"
