Chapter 259 Achieving The Impossible
Chapter 259 Achieving The Impossible
Chief Ban could not believe what he saw. It was the head of a person. It was bloody and horrors the person faced before death was clearly registered on his face.
Ban looked at this head and could recognize the person.
It was weird that Chiron would send a head his way.
However, out of curiosity, the other chiefs peeped into the box to see what it was.
One the chiefs instantly pulled the box towards himself and then he frowned.
"This person! is this not General...No! it can't be! that is unbelievable"
He dropped the box on the ground and the human head rolled out of it.
This took everyone by surprise.
Elder Baldie was also present. As the representative of his Clan, he was in attendance of the occasion.
He walked closer and looked at the human head, "This is the head of General Chain of the Chanland Army. How did it get here?"
Just then, a letter fell out of the box. Chief Ban picked it up. There was a royal seal on it, signifying that it had actually come from Chiron.
He wanted to open it, but then he saw who it was addressed to and then he passed the letter to Victor.
Victor collected it and opened it.
At first he read it's content with a normal look. However, after a while, his eyes opened wide, and his fingers tightened as he applied force on the paper.
"It can't be!?" He threw the paper away and walked towards the human head. As he did, Elder Baldie caught the paper and read out it's content for the chiefs.
No one could believe it. The War campaign had not even began and Chiron had already submitted the head of a famous General of the Chanland Army.
He had descimated an entire battalion of troops hiding in the Orc forests.
"He did this with barely a few thousand soldiers with more than eighty percent of them being fresh recruits," Elder Baldie muttered nodding his head in acknowledgment of Chiron's ability.
"HUH!?" The entire crowd gasped in shock.
Whether it was the Commanders, the Chiefs or even the Elder Shaman that was within ear shot of the conversation, they were all left in total surprise.
It was also good to remember that General Chain was a cultivator of the Bronze rank.
This was a very famous General with years of experience under his belt.
Although he was not as great as many of the other Generals of the Chanland Kingdom, he was still a very famous man.
He was also quite intelligent.
But Chiron that was Armless with the most disadvantaged troops had set out and in only a few days, he had started to see results.
Prince Victor was Angry, and in his anger, he stepped on the head of the human head, crushing it to meat paste.
He turned and walked away angrily.
Some commanders followed him behind.
Victor was not angry because of the progress Chiron was making.
He was angry because of the content of the letter.
Chiron had said in the letter that he was sending the head of the General over for Victor to help him submit it to the king.
He even clearly stated that Victor could take the credit for it, and that he did not care about such trivial things.
In other words, Chiron was saying that this was just the beginning and that he did not even mind gifting him the credit for this one.
This was a blatant insult thrown right at Victor's face.
Chiron had even timed it right and the message had been delivered during the ceremony.
Even if Victor was so shameless as to take the credit for this one, it would mean that he was an incompetent leader, stealing credit for another's work.
After all, every body had seen as the Cored beast eagle had delivered the head.
Chiron could have sent it directly to the palace, but he had rather sent it here. He was practically using Victor as his Errand boy.
This was why Victor was fuming.
Chief Ban on the other hand understood what was happening and suddenly, he smiled.
From a faint smile, it progressed into full blown laughter, "I knew it. There is no way that Kid is normal, and he did not even wait to receive the blessings of the Bear mother. I remember the king had asked to see results by the end of the first month. It has not even been a week yet."
He laughed some more in the entertainment of all that was happening. Of course, this included the content of the letter that turned Victor into an errand boy.
Chief Ban was one to wear his feelings at the edge of his sleeves.
If he was sad he would cry, if he was angry, he flare up and most likely punch somebody, and if he was happy, he would laugh to the content of his heart.
He was a free and man and he laughed heartily, regardless of the fact that this was an offensive moment for the prince regardless of the side glances filled with warning that the other chiefs gave him.
Chief Wallow walked up to the Letter. He picked it up and read the contents for himself, and then he turned to Elder Ban.
he laughed a little, "so what did you give to him?"
"Huh!?" that question made the crowds interest pique.
"What do you mean?" Elder Baldie asked.
"Come on! we are all of the same kingdom. We all know that the Prince Chiron insisted on visiting your tribal lands before he came here. There is no way that a cripple boy with barely a troop of a thousand recruits would face a bronze rank cultivator with a well trained army of over five thousand and come out Victorious. Even if he had a dragon, it just doesn't add up. With the training that General Chain had, Surely maneuvering within the orc Forest to avoid and even trap a dragon is possible."
Wallow stepped forward to elder Baldie, "It can only be one thing. After all, Everyone knows that Giant Untamed Snake tribe are as slithering as their name. So tell me, what advantage did you give him that made him achieve the impossible?"
