Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chapter 251 The Prince Is Mad...

What happened next, was not so hard to figure out.

The chief and his men were given an ultimatum for the release of their families.

Attack and kill everyone in the Human Town or watch as your family is slaughtered before your eyes.

Of course, the Chief did not take lightly to this threat.

He Immediately made an attack for the human army.

However, apart from the Incredible threat that they posed, and strength of their armies, the human army also started to kill the orcs.

They had no choice but to surrender.

And then Chief Sokka took his warriors and made the attack on the empty Garrison.

Chiron nodded to the news he had heard.

Just then, a commander spoke up. he was the person that Chiron had saved. He was known as Captain Tug.

"Your highness," Captain Tug addressed Chiron respectfully, "I do not believe a word from the mouth of this barbarian Pig! They poisoned men and attacked the town. As far as we know, they must have gotten the poison from the Chanland Kingdom and planned this raid together!"

unsurprising, Chiron saw some of the other Lieutenants at the table nodding to this. They did not trust the Orc one bit.

Chiron smiled at this. Then again, he did not expect them to.

*Cough* Captain Timi coughed out loud, "I appologise Captain Tug, but you forget that the Joker blue poison is colorless until it comes in contact with a certain temperature. Even for the corpses, it disappears the moment the body turns cold. Also, only that particular tribe of the Chanland Kingdom can actually come in contact with it and defend against it's effects. Without a doubt, these Orcs would die if they tried such a thing. Even burning the corpse had not been an easy thing."

Captain Tug heard this and he calmed down a little. He had been so angry that he was ready to blame anyone he could for what had just happened to his men.

"Emma, what did you find?" Chiron seemingly asked the air.

Immediately, Emma appeared beside him.

This took everyone at the table by surprise.

Especially with her dressing of covering her face and all of her body with a veil, it looked as if she had materialized out of thin air.

This was an effect of the ring Chiron gave her.

She had become more proficient in it's usage.

"It is just as he said, master. The Chanland Troops occupy deep within the forest area. I also touched through a few other Orc tribe areas. It is all the same."

Hearing that their enemy was not so far from them took everyone by surprise. But more than that, it was the fact that Emma said that she had gone through the forest and a few tribes.

Since the time they arrived and took care of the Orcs, it had only been about two hours.

Yet, Emma was saying that she had gone through the entire forest area.

It was good to note that she had not done this with a Tesseract.

firstly, she did not know how to operate one and even if she did, she could not control it alone.

Not to talk of the fact that the enemy would see the tesseract and be in the guard for them.

"Are you sure!?" Captain Timi asked.

Emma looked in his direction and without answering, she turned back to Chiron.

"Their army has been divided into three areas. Each occupying different tribal areas. all of which are closest to the Vandora kingdom territory." Emma added.

Chiron nodded. He understood what this meant.

When he had just arrived newly into the kingdom, he had engaged in battle with an Orc tribe that attacked a village.

Back then, he had handled the situation along side Commander Hardstone and his team.

The tactic that the Chanland Kingdom used was clear as day to Chiron.

Firstly, they would fake attacks from rivalry tribes, and then when the rivalry tribes left their homes for revenge, they would come in and take hold of the orcs families and request that they do their bidding or stand the chance of losing their loved ones.

This was a simple yet effective tactic.

This tactic took advantage of emotion as a weak point.

Chiron had to admit that who so ever came up with this move was a good tactician.

After all, this was simply using one's enemies to do one's bindings.

However, there was still the issue that surrounded the question of how the water supply was poisoned.

The Vandora kingdom was naturally blessed with good land. The water that the army drank came directly from their wells.

But somehow, the enemy had managed to poison the waters without anyone's knowledge.

Chiron at first thought maybe it might be a spy, however, every one in the garrison had died, and the only reason the commander had survived, was because of Chiron's intervention.

Chiron thought hard at this.

He could definitely see a pattern here. But it eluded him by just a bit.

He suddenly stood up from his seat and gently strolled out of the tent.

On coming out, he inhaled the fresh cool air of the early evening.

Far above in the sky, the twin moons were slowly rising to their full.

However, far ahead of him, he could see that the town was still full of life.

This was going to be a bright and cold night.

"Cold night!?" Chiron suddenly raised a brow. in his head, a lot of calculations were made.

He remembered that the first time the F.O.B (Forward Operating Base) had been attacked, it had been because they had received some gifts from people of the village, and now, it was because of the water supply being poisoned.

What if the two of them were one and the same thing.

Chiron suddenly looked ahead of himself.

He chuckled lowly.

"Captain Timi!" Chiron called and the Captain came out the tent.

"Yes your highness!"

"I want you to take your men and go into the town."

"Yes, Your highness. And what should we do?"

Chiron turned to him, "I want you to burn it to the ground."

"HUH!?" Chiron's words had not only taken the captain by surprise, it had also made him speechless.

The other Lieutenants had heard what Chiron said and came out of the tent. Everybody had a surprised look on their faces.

"But Your Highness! TheTown! It's the mining town. There are innocent civilians there. Women and children. There are our own people!" Captain Tug frowned as he explained.

Chiron did not reply to him, instead, he looked at Captain Timi, "Captain Timi! you are my head commander on this campaign. Do you share the same remorse with Captain Tug!?"

Captain Timi looked at Captain Tug and then at his remaining Lieutenants. He could see the look on all their faces. He nodded his head, "Yes, Your highness. We will be killing the same people that we swore to protect."

Chiron heard this and nodded, "good! I admire your bravery Captain Timi. I gave you orders and you want to refute them? At the end of this night, you might have lost your rank or maybe even your life."

Captain Timi was shaken by this. Chiron's threat was clear for all to hear.

However, he did not feel like backing out. As far as he was concerned, this matter had to do with innocent civilians. He had to stand his ground.

Just then, he remembered the words of his big brother. He remembered the words of Commander Hardstone, "my cultivation level is higher than his, but even I would not desire to be his enemy."

Commander Hardstone's words sounded well in his head.

He sighed and then he frowned tightly, but this was the role of a soldier. To simply take orders.

He immediately saluted Chiron, "I will do as you have instructed prince Chiron."

This surprised the lieutenants and they all felt as if they did not understand their commander.

Chiron smiled, "good! I expected nothing less from a man of uniform." He turned to the others, "Does any other person have anything to say?"

Everyone kept silent. Chiron nodded, "good! But I change my mind," he paused, "You will not do the Burning. I have already assigned another to that task."

As Chiron said this, they all heard the loud GROWLS of the Dragon as it flew over their heads.

It flew into the Town area spitting fire in all directions.

Even from where they stood, they could hear the screams and wails of the panicking people in the town.

The lieutenants swallowed hard at this. Everyone remained silent.

Chiron turned to them, "Ready yourselves and move into town. I need you to kill all of them that tries to escape."

Captain Timi frowned but he still saluted. However, before he left, he heard Chiron's Voice behind him, "when you see it captain you will know!"

Captain Timi rushed with the lieutenants into the town area. He did not even bother to go with the rest of the troops. The only thing on his mind was to save as much lives as he could.

He did not have plans to obey Chiron. But he could not double cross him. He could only do this little a t of kindness as a soldier.

As far as he was concerned, the Prince was Mad.
