Chapter 594 - 594 139 Embrace Death to Survive_2

594: Chapter 139, Embrace Death to Survive_2 594: Chapter 139, Embrace Death to Survive_2 Even if the Alpha Kingdom is hollow from within, it still has the strength to annihilate a few Orc squads.

If need be, they can summon dozens of thousands of troops to work.

With the steady arrival of Human Alliance Reinforcements, even if the battle line is extended, the advantage of the human race on the battlefield continues to grow.

The willingness of the Five Royal Clans to make the great sacrifice of relocating their clans instead of confronting the Allied Human Army shows many things.

“Alex’s authority has been growing daily.

He has tormented his competitors enough, and although I have kept a low profile since my return, I can’t avoid being on his hit list.

Once he finishes with them, it will be my turn.

Alex is currently the Emperor of the Bimon Tribe.

If he wishes to find trouble, there are plenty of ways to torment me.

Perhaps it’s better to accept a mission, lay low for some time.

By the time I return, I expect the Imperial Court would have been mostly purged.

A prince who has lost influence in the military is the best Bimon Prince.

I do possess that level of political awareness.”

Prince Butzwieg stated somberly.

Had a third option existed, he would not have chosen to venture out.

Unfortunately, despite volunteering to help with the tribe’s relocation, his proposal was rejected by Alex.

As long as he stays in the military, he poses a risk to the unstable royal power.

Regardless of who holds the position of Bimon Emperor, they would want to eliminate this risk.

If it were not wartime, which restrains Alex’s actions in order to maintain the unity of the Bimon Tribe, the blade would have fallen on him long ago.

Passively waiting for death isn’t his style.

He’d rather die on the battlefield than in a struggle for power.

If he continues to stay on the home front, leading the military, Alex would only grow more cautious of him.

It’s better to volunteer for a dangerous mission behind enemy lines.

If he can survive this and return, he can land safely from the political storm.

A Prince that sacrifices everything for the Bimon Tribe should be exalted, even if it’s just for propaganda by Alex.

If a change happens in the Imperial Court, with his current reputation, he still has a shot at the position of Bimon Emperor.

After all, Alex is aging.

With Butzwieg being half his age, he can gradually wear him out.

“Your Highness, since you’ve made up your mind to venture south, then I won’t discourage you.

If the purpose of this journey is merely to avoid the disaster, the chances of you returning safely are around sixty or seventy percent.

However, if you wish to gain merit, I’m afraid… the chance of death is almost certain!”

Clark stated reluctantly.

As a strategist, he must accompany Prince Butzwieg on his mission.

If the leader fails, his loyal subordinate would also meet the same fate.

This plea is not just to save the life of Prince Butzwieg, but also to preserve his own life.

“Relax, I am not a fool.

The war has reached a point where the Empire has already lost.

No matter how much destruction we do behind enemy lines, it won’t change a thing.

As far as I know, every one of the Five Royal Families has suffered a population loss of more than twenty percent, with young men forming an even larger proportion.

With the strategic transfer this time, the strength of the various clans will be further weakened.

While the rear is easy to defend, the barren land will restrict our development.

If the human race changes their strategy and props up a few strong combatant races, we can expect daily internal strife!”

Prince Butzwieg couldn’t help but complain.

This is top-secret information of the Orc Empire.

If it weren’t for the frustration in his heart which needed venting, he wouldn’t have said it.

“Your Highness, I’m afraid such things will really happen.

The thing the human race is best at is sowing discord, especially when our neighbour is Caesar III.

Looking at his actions since he ascended the throne, stirring trouble and playing with balance have always been his strategies.”

Clark analyzed in a tone as gentle as possible.

Perhaps submerged in the situation, Prince Butzwieg didn’t lose his temper, but instead nodded and said, “You’re right.

As long as Caesar III is alive, we will face these situations.

I can even guess who the executor will be.

Caesar III’s appointment of the young Hudson as the Grand Army Commander clearly signifies his preparations to topple the Empire.

If you calculate his age, Hudson can, at the very least, entangle with the Empire for decades.

A wise old king in alliance with a young and ambitious commander – we won’t be seeing peace in the years to come!”

From the moment Dapes was defeated, Prince Butzwieg found himself singing Hudson’s praises, and probably because he’s sung praises too often, he now believes in them himself.

Matters that initially seemed unrelated became linked in his mind.

“Your Highness, are you planning to assassinate Caesar III?”

Clark asked in shock.

Assassinating a human king is something the Orc Empire can afford.

But the problem lies in the fact that a king isn’t that easy to assassinate.

Especially considering the Orcs’ identity, they will probably be discovered before they even reach the capital.

“Relax, we don’t need to do it ourselves.

The Empire will send experts to carry out the assassination.

With my limited abilities, I am not fit to play the role of an assassin.

You don’t need to know the details of how it will be carried out right now.

When the time comes, there will be people helping to create opportunities.

This time, the Empire is acting as a pawn!”

Prince Butzwieg couldn’t help but sigh.

This war has changed too many people and things.

Compared to his enthusiasm before the war, all that was left in him now was deep melancholy.

Knowing that they are acting as pawns, the Orc Empire is still smiling and thankful for the opportunities created for them.

Whether the assassination is successful or not, the powerful individuals who took part won’t possibly return alive.

Any possible trace of exposure will be erased.

The price the Orc Empire has to pay is: after the assassination, they have to openly take the blame for it and must not reveal any information about their collaborator.

The contract is already in place, and all five Emperors have entered into the contract, leaving no room for withdrawal.

Actually, even if they wanted to leak the truth, it would be difficult.

Even high-ranking officials like Prince Butzwieg are kept in the dark about who the real collaborator is.

The few who do know are bound by the power of the contract.

They couldn’t possibly sacrifice their own emperor to divert hate, could they?

“Alright, Clark.

You should also go prepare.

Whether we can come back alive this time is uncertain.

First, make arrangements for your families, so they won’t get involved if something happens to us.

Speak up if you need anything.

Even though my authority as a prince has waned, I still hold some influence in the Imperial Court!”
