Chapter 829: Large Bet
Translator: s.h.i.+rais.h.i.+ Editor: TheAlliance
“Mafa Merlin, you d.a.m.ned b*stard! I’m telling you, this matter isn’t over. Our Charlotte Family lost the Golden Pearl Plane because of you! We’ll definitely be looking for your Merlin Family’s explanation. If you don’t give us a plane, then don’t blame us for helping ourselves to one! I know of a few planes that your Merlin Family is holding…”
Witsy had no one else he could curse at, so he turned around and kept cursing at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun sneered, his arms still crossed.
“Alright, just keep talking. I’ll just treat it as you farting, but if you really want to give it a try, then go ahead and be ready to get torn apart by my spells.”
Witsy still wanted to say something more, but after seeing the expressions of the onlookers and Prophet Deloy’s cold and impatient gaze, he settled for just glaring at Lin Yun again before leaving.
After Witsy left, the surrounding onlookers also scattered. Prophet Deloy also took advantage of this opportunity to speak a bit with Lin Yun, trying to get closer.
But Lin Yun’s mind was still focused on how to go about processing the Ancient Poison Dragon’s materials, so he answered absentmindedly.
Deloy gloomily sighed, apparently deciding that he had to call it a day while the relations.h.i.+p was good. They could slowly get in touch later on.
After Deloy left, Lin Yun continued his work in the alchemy laboratory.
Several days pa.s.sed in an instant. Most of the Andlusa Kingdom’s forces had arrived, and there was still nothing set in stone when it came to the general attack.
Lin Yun was also too lazy to care about these matters. He let those people continue to quarrel up until someone sent him a notice to attend the meeting where it would all be resolved.
Lin Yun, who had just come out from his laboratory, followed the path that he remembered.
In the center was a round table that was ten meters wide, and seated there were the most powerful forces of the Andlusa Kingdom.
Seated on both sides were two people that he hadn’t seen for a while: the Chairman of the Black Tower, Harren, as well as the Star Sage of the Cloud Tower, Jouyi.
Lin Yun was somewhat startled. Neither of them was sitting at the master seat… They were sitting on both sides, and the master seat was empty.
The others were a person of the Charlotte Family, Zeuss of the Watson Family, and Prophet Deloy of the Gauga.s.s Clan…
Around the large round table were some smaller round tables. Those belonged to some smaller forces of the Andlusa Kingdom.
Every force with a little bit of territory in the Raging Flame Plane was present, without exception.
Lin Yun sat down, and both Harren and Jouyi tacitly nodded, expressing their goodwill with a smile.
Zeuss even sat next to Lin Yun, and besides the person from the Charlotte Family, everyone else remained courteous.
Soon, some of the whispers died down as a middle-aged man came from outside, wearing ink-colored Dragon Scale Heavy Armor.
That middle-aged man had a steady face and directly walked up to the most important seat at the round table.
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes. This was noticed by the sharp Zeuss, and he used his mana to transmit his voice in Lin Yun’s mind.
“Sir Mafa, this is the Andlusa Kingdom’s Azure Wave Prince. He also has another ident.i.ty: He is the King’s younger brother and Andlusa Kingdom’s number one Sword Saint. He is the leader of the Raging Flame Plane. He hasn’t been here for the past few days because he was negotiating with the Odin Kingdom’s representative. There might be some results now.”
As Zeuss explained, a wisp of understanding flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.
From his appearance, Lin Yun didn’t have an impression of who this was, but he understood when he heard the mention of the Azure Wave Sword Saint.
The Azure Wave Sword Saint was a legend in the entire kingdom. He was extremely talented, and his comprehension was especially good. In his youth, he was even known as a sword fanatic. He kept challenging people everywhere and went through countless fights.
It could be said that he went from being a Novice Swordsman to a Sword Saint that way. When the former king pa.s.sed away, he voluntarily withdrew from the compet.i.tion for the throne as he felt that he was unsuitable to lead the Andlusa Kingdom. Instead, he was most suitable to protect this Kingdom.
The Azure Wave Sword Saint was the King’s younger brother, but he was extremely trusted by the King. It was because he was known to be just and impartial. He would always draw the line between work and emotions, and moreover, everything he did was for the benefit of the Andlusa Kingdom. Everything he did was to make the Andlusa Kingdom stronger and more powerful.
This was his most admirable characteristic. There had once been a child of the royal family who was in contact with people from another nation and leaked some trivial information regarding the royal family. The Azure Wave Sword Saint ended up beheading that child in front of the King.
Killing that person was regarded as strict at the time, but he ended up beheading him because he harmed the benefits of the Andlusa Kingdom.
In those days, he was only a 5th Rank Sword Saint when he personally chased a traitor that almost escaped out of the Andlusa Kingdom. That traitor was a 7th Rank Archmage.
While everyone was worried, the Azure Wave Sword Saint returned with the head of the traitor.
This was the last battle of the Azure Wave Sword Saint that was made public. Everyone had thought that this would end in a major disaster, but it was apparently very easy for him.
Since then, very few of his accomplishments spread out, and now, no one knew how much stronger the Azure Wave Sword Saint had gotten… but everyone was certain about one thing: The Azure Wave Sword Saint was fully deserving of the t.i.tle of number one Sword Saint of the Andlusa Kingdom.
Only Star Sage Jouyi and the Black Tower’s Chairman, Harren, could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, as their strength was deep and unmeasurable.
Some information about the Azure Wave Sword Saint flashed in Lin Yun’s mind, and his heart eased up. After all, he was a strictly impartial and incorruptible person dedicated to the Andlusa Kingdom, so there shouldn’t be much trouble.
Sure enough, the Azure Wave Sword Saint was swift and decisive. After sitting, he took out a Magic Tool and cast a projection on the large round table. On it was a map of the Raging Flame Plane, dividing the plane into several dozen parts, each of which was marked with the force occupying it.
“The Storm Fort here is jointly occupied by the Black Tower and the Cloud Tower. This shall be the bridgehead for the general attack. It is also the fort closest to the Raging Flame Beastmen’s territory. This is the area controlled by the Watson Family, this area is…”
The Azure Wave Sword Saint was like a merchant listing out a bunch of ingredients as he pointed out the rest of the areas, before pointing at a part of the map marked in red.
“The red parts are the territories controlled by the Raging Flame Beastmen. There are only six Raging Flame Beastman Tribes left, as over half of the Tribes have already been exterminated. As we rush in, the forces of the Raging Flame Beastmen keep weakening while ours keep growing stronger.
“The Raging Flame Plane is certain to be conquered, and the only difference is the speed. The purpose of this general attack is to thoroughly conquer the Raging Flame Plane and put down all the Raging Flame Beastmen.”
After taking a short pause, the Azure Wave Sword Saint continued.
“But we are still facing many problems, and the most pressing one is that the Raging Flame Plane’s strongest are our Andlusa Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom. Other forces can be disregarded. Both of our Kingdoms have already spent too much power and energy on the Raging Flame Plane.
“It can be said that our Andlusa Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom have already put our strongest and most powerful forces in the Raging Flame Plane, which is a very dangerous matter.
“We can’t delay any longer, as concentrating so much of our power here is bound to make the forces in our other planes hollow, extremely hollow. Some planes have already started becoming unstable, and conquered planes are being met with crazy counterattacks.
“If we can’t conquer the Raging Flame Plane in a short time, there is a huge possibility that this situation becomes irreversible. The general attack is pressing!
“There is another more important issue… If all goes as planned, the Raging Flame Plane is as good as conquered already, and the Raging Flame Beastmen will be completely swept away.
“But! After conquering the Raging Flame Plane and subduing the Raging Flame Beastmen, the Raging Flame Plane will be in the hands of our Andlusa Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom.
“When the time comes, a war between our two Kingdoms will be inevitable. In order to thoroughly control the Raging Flame Plane, this war can’t be avoided.
“Whether it is from our point of view or their point of view, no one wishes to share the control of the Raging Flame Plane.”
The Azure Wave Sword Saint stopped there and was silent for a moment. Anyone who wasn’t foolish would clearly understand that this situation was unavoidable.
Next was the outcome of the discussion with the Odin Kingdom.
Sure enough, the Azure Wave Sword Saint looked at everyone before slowly standing up and solemnly pointing at the map.
“In order to avoid this kind of situation and avoid huge losses to both sides, the Andlusa Kingdom and the Odin Kingdom made a large bet to decide the fate of the Raging Flame Plane!
Whoever breaks through the Raging Flame Beastmen’s Holy Mountain first will be the one in control, the one controlling the entire Raging Flame Plane!
