Chapter 316: Danger Lurks, Ashby’s Tomb



Lilies Archer had just reminded Sean that she couldn’t appear in public. The execution of Ashby would be handled by the trio, Gloydius, who would assist Sean in doing so. As for the specific details and methods, she didn’t say to avoid arousing the suspicion of the King of Night if they talked for too long.

“General Mason, please look!” Gloydius reached into his chest, pulled out two palm-sized tokens, and handed them to Sean, explaining, “General Mason should know that there are five ‘tiger generals’ within the barbarian tribes, jointly controlling a fifty-thousand-strong army.”

“Basically, each ‘tiger general’ commands around ten thousand soldiers, and they balance each other out, making it hard to distinguish who is superior.”

“Besides the three of us, there are two others, Lynx and Cheetah.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Prince Ashby had secret dealings with all five of us, attempting to control Fort South through us and lay an ambush to kill General Mason. We three feigned compliance, gaining his trust on the surface.”

“As for Lynx and Cheetah, they sincerely wanted to cooperate with Ashby to replace the Beast King.”

“Therefore, Miss Archer ordered us to take this opportunity to eliminate both of them along with Ashby.”

Afterwards, Gloydius told Sean about Ashby’s plan to kill him, which included sending representatives to the barbarian tribes tomorrow to determine the specific negotiation time, and then, during the negotiations, the combined forces of one hundred fifty thousand soldiers would strike, leaving Sean with no burial ground.

Damn! Even Sean was startled when he first heard about this so-called execution plan. Ashby, that bastard, was ruthless!

If he were to be surrounded by one hundred fifty thousand soldiers and attacked in unison, coupled with many cultivators at the completed stage, Sean’s chance of survival would be slim.

“These two tokens belong to Lynx and Cheetah!” Gloydius continued, “Of course, the tokens are fake, we have forged them in advance.”

“They can almost be mistaken as real.”

“General Mason, take these two tokens back to Fort South. Maclean Lyons will liaise with General Mason, through him, let Ashby know that the tokens of Lynx and Cheetah are with General Mason.”

“I will also call Ashby later to tell him that the people who conspired with General Mason are Lynx and Cheetah.”

“After double verification, Ashby will acknowledge the traitorous identities of Lynx and Cheetah.”

“At that time, once the formal negotiations begin and the armies of both sides mobilize, Ashby will take the initiative to command us to kill Lynx and Cheetah on the spot and annihilate their twenty thousand soldiers.”

“Then, Ashby and his people will be like meat on the chopping board, at our mercy.”

The plan was very thorough!

Ashby thought that with the token issued by King Ron himself and the one hundred thousand soldiers of Fort South, they would certainly obey his orders.

On the barbarian side, the ‘tiger general’ he trusted the most was Gloydius.

So, with one hundred fifty thousand soldiers under his control, setting up a trap to kill Sean seemed like a sure thing.

However, he probably wouldn’t have dreamed that the trap he meticulously set up was actually his own grave!

King Ron, truly worthy of being Ashby’s father!

This grand chess game was played brilliantly!

Making Ashby think he had the winning ticket, and just when he was closest to his hope, he suddenly fell into despair.

More than just ruthless!

This was also one of the contents of the deal between King Ron and Lilies Archer. King Ron openly got rid of Ashby, while Lilies Archer took the opportunity to eliminate the ambitious Lynx and Cheetah, taking control of Fort South alone.

It was a win-win!

“I understand!” Sean took the two tokens and looked at them under the moonlight. They were both engraved with the unique symbols of Lynx and Cheetah.

“Then I’ll have to trouble General Mason.” Gloydius bowed and said, “To avoid alerting Lynx and Cheetah, we should not stay long.”

“Goodbye.”

After saying that, the three of them turned into three shadows and disappeared into the dense jungle in the blink of an eye.

Sean carefully pocketed the two tokens of command. He then turned to look at the Black Rhino Tiger and its family. After a moment of thought, he spoke in a deep voice, “The poison inside you has been eradicated. You are completely free now.”

“The mountains are your home,” he continued. “Go!”

“You don’t have to follow me anymore.”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Upon hearing Sean’s words, the Black Rhino Tiger and its family of four were momentarily stunned. Of course, the two cubs couldn’t understand human language. They were simply mirroring their parents’ confusion.

Immediately after, the Black Rhino Tiger moved closer, rubbing and licking Sean haphazardly, its pitiful little eyes seemingly asking, “Master, are you abandoning me? Did I do something wrong? Please, don’t! If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, just tell me. I’ll change, I promise. I’ll change until you’re satisfied.”

At first glance, it looked like a child about to be abandoned by its parents.

“Scram!” Sean kicked the Black Rhino Tiger away, speaking sternly, “The next few days will be fraught with danger. It’s a matter of life and death!”

“If you follow me, you will surely die!”

“So, go! Take your wife and children, reunite as a family, and live your own lives.”

As soon as his words fell, Sean didn’t give the Black Rhino Tiger another chance to act spoiled. He turned into a shadow and rushed out of the mountains, heading straight for Fort South.

The Black Rhino Tiger was once again stunned.

Certain death?

It understood Sean’s words. Sean realized the danger and was trying to protect them by using this method. In a moment, tears couldn’t help but flow.

Thud!

The Black Rhino Tiger didn’t chase after him. Instead, it knelt in the direction Sean had left, its forelimbs bent, in gratitude for Sean’s life-saving grace.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The female tiger also knelt down with her two cubs. Even fierce beasts like the Black Rhino Tiger are not without feelings.

Sean didn’t look back.

As he had said, if the Black Rhino Tiger continued to follow him, there would be no way out. Killing Ashby with the help of Lilies Archer was just the first step in King Ron’s grand strategy.

And after Ashby was killed, the next target would be him.

From Lilies Archer, Sean learned some unknown secrets, which made him realize the great risks he was about to face. He was always reluctant to involve others, let alone the newly reunited Black Rhino Tiger family.

Ten minutes later, when Sean returned to the General’s Mansion of Fort South, it was already half past eleven at night. The mansion was still brightly lit. As soon as he entered his room, he heard footsteps behind him.

“General Mason!” It was the voice of Maclean Lyons. “I have urgent matters to discuss.”

As Gloydius had said before, when Sean returned to Fort South with the command tokens of Lynx and Cheetah, Maclean Lyons immediately came to negotiate with him.
