Chapter 1050: Chapter 616 Ghost Witch’s Oath_3

As for the Lizardfolk, not a single one could be seen.

In fact, apart from a few Lizardfolk villages and tribes surviving on the fringes of the Far Sea Marsh, their presence was absent in the core areas.

The reason, naturally, was the influence and control wielded by the Lizard Court of Tun Marsh, and the Lizard Queen over the Lizardfolk. This made the naturally suspicious Ghost Witches dare not allow any trace of Lizardfolk in their domains, fearing that one day, should they clash with the Lizard Court, those Lizardfolk would turn their backs and side with the Lizard Queen. This was not merely a possibility, but a very likely outcome, as her Mist of Obedience had a permanent effect on many Lizardfolk.

With killings and expulsions, within a few years, there were no longer any traces of Lizardfolk in the Far Sea Marsh.

The Lizard Queen, with her Lizardfolk Army, hurried slowly, but by the time they arrived, the Amphibious Army of the Far Sea Marsh had already landed. They quickly retreated about three or four kilometers from the shore to prevent the Lizard Queen from directly manipulating a flood with the Lizardfolk Army catching up on land.

Without the help of a river channel and the continuous replenishment of river water, the flood controlled by the Lizard Queen would run out of steam just a few hundred meters after washing up on shore.

"General, what do we do now?" The Lizard Queen spoke with palpable apprehension. She now feared that Gaven would use her Lizardfolk Army as cannon fodder, driving them to shore even if it resulted in a heavy toll on their lives in the event of victory.

"They have made it even easier for us to act," said Gaven. Rather than being disappointed, he was barely able to hide his excitement. What seemed like a clever decision was actually foolish to the core.

For the Lizardfolk Army was never their main force—the Conqueror Army was.

The Conqueror Army had already begun to mobilize their forces for a counter-attack. They were practically walking into the line of fire.

Gaven turned to the Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk, who was standing by respectfully, "General Gregory, you will take command of the Evil Fang Legion and march in sync with them. Anyone bold enough to enter the water or try to cross the river—whether they be beasts of the Dark Castle or troops from the Far Sea Marsh—must be executed on the spot. Do you have any doubts?"

"This..." The burly Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk didn’t dare to respond directly to Gaven, instead sneaking glances at the Lizard Queen.

Even though they were already accustomed to the Lizard Queen’s capriciousness, her contradictory orders this time seemed too great a reversal. Just moments ago, they were fighting to the death against the Conqueror Army, intent on drowning them in the Wild Border River, and suddenly, they had become allies against a common enemy. The enemy’s commander had been swiftly replaced by Alhashan, who had become the New Vizier, and Alhashan had completely disappeared.

What puzzled him most was the change in the Lizard Queen’s temperament. She, who was usually tyrannical and oppressive, always riding over others, since when did she allow others to ride over her?

Especially since the other party was the Vizier she had just appointed. Who exactly was the master, and who was the servant?

Gregory couldn’t help but wonder if his mother had been replaced by someone else.

But the aura emanating from her body couldn’t be faked, nor could the abilities she wielded.

"Gregory, are you questioning my orders? I have already said that henceforth all affairs of the Royal Court are to be managed by General Gaven. You are to assist him unconditionally; his orders are my orders, his will is my will," the Lizard Queen roared furiously, "I won’t tolerate such questioning again, or else there will be severe consequences."

The rage in the Lizard Queen’s words was real, but it was directed not at Gregory, but at herself and at Gaven.

By now, she had pretty much figured out what Gaven was up to. He was not interested in supporting her as the queen of both marshes, but was slowly paving the way to usurp her Royal Court, her servants, and next, undoubtedly, her wealth.

Powerless to act, she could only speak and act according to his wishes, becoming nothing more than a puppet on strings.

"As you command," the Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk bowed deeply, his inherent fear of the Lizard Queen taking precedence, preventing him from pondering too deeply.

"Return to the main army," Gaven ordered the Lizard Queen.

He now had to keep her by his side at all times, preventing her from having any solitary contact with the Lizardfolk Army, which could disrupt his forthcoming takeover.

Whether appointing a New Vizier for the Royal Court or stepping on her head to join the battle, it was all about creating momentum for the upcoming takeover.

Not to mention, due to limitations at Weizemay Manor, she couldn’t stay in Tun Marsh in the future—even if she could, Gaven wouldn’t allow it. The Lizard Queen was in no way a suitable ruler; her Lizard Court was merely a tool to satisfy her personal desires, incapable of creating more wealth or integrating into his own forces.

Though she was reluctant, the Lizard Queen could only obey Gaven’s command, turning back towards the direction of the Bridge of Human God. This time, without any distractions, it took only a few minutes to return.

"Take off, and from the eastern end of the bridge, skim low across the entire Bridge of Human God," Gaven issued a new command.

The Lizard Queen, flapping her disproportionately large Dragon Wings, wobbled as she skimmed over the airspace of the Bridge of Human God.

This leisurely speed was just right—it allowed the Conqueror Army below to sense the terrifying size of the Lizard Queen and clearly hear Gaven’s new round of speeches.

The tremendous negative impact the Lizard Queen had initially brought to the Conqueror Army could now inspire them significantly. Not only because she had now turned into their own force, but it also reaffirmed the unfathomable strength of their Commander. Even a mighty Giant Dragon could be subdued, which was much more challenging than simply killing it.
