Chapter 496 - 496 83 Reinforcements_1

496: Chapter 83, Reinforcements_1 496: Chapter 83, Reinforcements_1 The mounted crossbows went on strike, catapults were paralyzed, and the magic crystal cannons billowed smoke…

The intense battles of recent days had inflicted heavy losses on both the human defensive army and the orc army.

From afar, the worry on the face of Crown Prince Alex as he stared at the battlefield could be seen by anyone.

While the world believed the tense battlefront and the heavy losses on Bimon army corps were the cause for his concern, he alone knew the real worry came from his own father.

The Bimon Emperor’s return was completely beyond his expectations.

The network of relationships he had meticulously cultivated was smashed into pieces by the appearance of the Bimon Emperor.

“The Crown Prince”, the word “crown” made all the difference.

Upon seeing the Bimon emperor’s robust aging, those who were prepared to take sides stopped in their tracks.

There were too many past counter-examples, with several crown princes having outlived the Bimon emperor.

Adding another one wouldn’t matter.

The current rumors of the “longevity method” circulating among the human race were undoubtedly disseminated by the Alpha Kingdom, but Alex had also helped spread them.

However, his scheming in front of the Bimon Emperor seemed like child’s play, with the success rate of a turnaround being terrifyingly low.

If he didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his elder brothers, he could only rely on external forces.

The appearance of the longevity method was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Rumors weren’t scary, what was scary was when they came close to the truth.

What Alex did was simply to reveal the information he had, after an artistic modification.

Not only were the human elites restless, but even within the orc empire, there were many peepers.

If it were not for the fear of the awe-inspiring past of the Bimon Emperor and the ongoing war not being an opportune time for infighting, the orc empire wouldn’t be peaceful.

“Your Highness, Prince Butzweig has moved his army to the Orton Duchy, he is now safe from danger.

You need not worry too much.

Although the Battle of Dapes has temporarily lost, the situation is still under our control.

The enemy’s Terence defense line has been almost taken by us, leaving only a few big cities.

Once these thorns are removed, it will be time to settle accounts with the Moxi people.

The Prince’s proposal is good.

If the Moxi Duchy cannot be destroyed for the time being, let the army take a detour to destroy the Warhammer Kingdom first.

If the refugee plan goes smoothly, not only can we take down the Warhammer Kingdom this time, but we can also disturb the Alpha Kingdom’s rear, disrupting their military deployment.

If we’re lucky, we might be able to destroy the Northern Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop and take over the Northern Continent!”

It was time to test the network of relationships.

While it seemed like he was persuading Crown Prince Alex, he was actually speaking on behalf of Prince Butzweig.

When it came to networking, Prince Butzweig, who had been in the military for many years, certainly had a much deeper foundation than Alex, the pleasure-loving crown prince.

All were descendants of the Bimon Emperor, who would ultimately sit on the throne was still an unknown.

Especially the current Bimon Emperor was particularly enduring, there’s a chance that Alex, the last prince, might see the Beast God first.

If there were no prince, it would be the turn of the numerous grandsons to compete for the throne, Prince Butzweig would have an advantage then.

Despite one failure, many still favored him.

“I see, ask for General Augustine’s opinion.

If he believes the plan of bypassing the Moxi Duchy, going through the Orton Duchy and entering the Warhammer Kingdom is feasible, then implement it.”

Crown Prince Alex said darkly.

His father, who wouldn’t die, hadn’t been settled yet, and now the youngsters underneath were starting to be restless.

Several of his elder brothers had seen the orc earlier but their networks of relationships were left behind.

Prince Butzweig had inherited the political legacy of a deceased crown prince.

Enduring for countless years, Alex naturally wouldn’t lack patience.

Knowing very well that it was a good opportunity to suppress Prince Butzweig, he chose to restrain himself.

There were so many competitors that suppressing one wouldn’t solve the problem.

Recklessly moving in to further oppress them would only make the situation more passive.

As the Crown Prince, he already had the upper hand in terms of moral advantage.

It was enough to go with the flow and there was no need to be absolute about it.

The urgency of the matter was to first resolve the threat posed by the Bimon Emperor.

Without this sword hanging over his head, the issues after that would be easier to deal with.

Unfortunately, the Bimon Emperor was too cautious, leaving him no chance to make a move.

Now he could only hope that the peepers outside would lend a hand.

As for the potential troubles this might cause, Alex didn’t have time to think too much about it.

Under the shadow of death, he was teetering on the edge of collapse every day.

…

“Waste!”

“A bunch of wastes!”

“All of them are idiots, they claim to be the number one cavalry in the world, yet they were beaten by people…”

The grumbling noise of the Bearman Emperor echoed through the camp, nearby court officials all lowered their heads to reduce their presence.

Just as the chance for revenge appeared, it flew away right under their eyelids.

The Bearman Emperor, whose temper was flaring, was now like a cannon.

Bearmen’s eruptiveness was innate, and becoming an emperor wouldn’t change this racial trait.

Not only was the Bearman Emperor hot-tempered, all emperors of the orc race were the same.

On many occasions, when they got angry, they wouldn’t hold back and once the anger passed, things would quickly be forgotten; far better than the festering kind.

After a bout of venting, the calmed down Bearman Emperor’s frown deepened.
