Chapter 320: Start of the Great War, Only You are in My Eyes
No sooner said than done, chaos ensues!
At the moment the negotiation table shattered, everyone was taken aback, standing up in unison with faces full of astonishment looking towards Sean!
This guy! Has he gone mad?
Especially Maclean Lyons, sitting next to Sean, his face turned pitch black in an instant, hastily saying, “General Mason, don’t be rash!”
“Don’t be rash!”
“Stick to the plan! Stick to the plan!!!”
Plan?
Sean scoffed internally!
Ashby’s plan was to first annihilate Lynx and Cheetah, along with their 20, 000 barbarian army, then have Maclean Lyons and Gloydius kill Sean!
The deal between King Ron and Lilies Archer! It was to first eliminate Lynx and Cheetah, along with their 20, 000 barbarian army, then, use Sean to execute Ashby and the eleven elders beside him! In the end, they would turn against Sean!!!
So, whether it was in Ashby’s plan or King Ron’s plan, the first move was to get rid of Lynx and Cheetah’s men!
So, Sean declared war without a second word, causing everyone to panic!
Maclean Lyons panicked!
Gloydius and the others panicked!
Ashby also panicked!
How can they fight with Lynx and Cheetah’s 20, 000-strong army still around?
Who are they going to fight?
Are they going to fight Gloydius’ three men and their 30, 000-strong army?
Ashby worried that if the situation got out of control, Sean would seize the opportunity to escape!
Maclean Lyons and Gloydius worried that if the situation got out of control, Ashby would seize the opportunity to escape!
These people each harbored their own ulterior motives and calculations! Thus, they naturally could not let Sean mess up the situation!!!
So, Ashby, guarded by the eleven elders, looked at Sean from a distance and coldly said, “Sean! The imperial decree I received was to come here for peace talks!”
“And you!”
“Insist on waging war!”
“Could it be!”
“Is there a conspiracy you can’t reveal???”
Having said that, Ashby gave Maclean Lyons and Gloydius a look, obviously asking them to cooperate with his actions, and then continued, “Don’t think I don’t know!”
“A few days ago, you arrived at Fort South and left Fort South alone, sneaking into the barbarian base in the mountains, colluding with some barbarians in secret, trying to instigate a battle between the two armies!”
“To destroy my Kisia’s peace!”
Ashby’s words were strong and resonant, like muffled thunder, reaching miles away!
In front of both armies of 150, 000, a huge accusation was made, trying to make Sean the target of public criticism!
Hearing this, the two armies were immediately in an uproar, with a lot of discussion!
Gloydius feigned a very surprised look and asked in a very cooperative manner, “Prince, what you mean is, General Mason not only killed the Beast King, but also, has insiders within our barbarians?”
“Of course!”
Ashby’s sinister gaze was fixated on Sean, and he boldly said, “That night, when he returned from the mountains, my people saw with their own eyes, he was carrying two barbarian tokens!”
“I ask you!”
“If it’s not an accomplice, how could the token, which only barbarian tiger generals can own, appear in his hands during the face-off between the two armies???”
“If I’m not wrong!”
“Now!”
“Those two tokens should be on him. As long as we capture him and find the tokens, we will immediately know who his accomplices are within the barbarians!!!”
Originally, Ashby wanted to deal with Lynx and Cheetah first! But, with Sean causing such a ruckus, he changed his mind, deciding to kill Sean first, compared to Sean, the importance of Lynx and Cheetah is not on the same level!
He didn’t want to delay and risk more complications!!!
Gloydius turned his head and looked at Sean, asking, “General Mason, is what the prince said true?”
Unbeknownst to them! When Ashby shifted the focus of the discussion to the barbarian traitors and those two tokens, and when Gloydius and Maclean Lyons caught Ashby’s gaze, those elders in the perfect state following Gloydius, as well as the generals under Maclean Lyons, had already quietly surrounded Lynx and Cheetah!
All Sean needed to do was to publicly present those two tokens and identify Lynx and Cheetah as his accomplices!
Then! Maclean Lyons and Gloydius and the others would act immediately, beheading Lynx and Cheetah without giving them a chance to explain!
Poor Lynx and Cheetah! Even now! They were still in the dark, even when Ashby mentioned the barbarian traitors and the tokens, they never thought it had anything to do with them!
Firstly! They were sincere in their intention to cooperate with Ashby and had no collusion with Sean!
Secondly! Their tokens were on their persons!Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“General Mason?”
Maclean Lyons was almost driven mad, repeatedly signaling Sean, almost cursing out loud “Damn it, quickly bring out those two tokens!”
Sean glanced at Gloydius, then at Maclean Lyons! He was contemptuous!
He knew they were putting on a show!
He knew that at the end of this play, he would be their target!
However! Sean had to play along with them! Digging his own grave!
So frustrating!
This! This made Sean very unhappy!!!
This! This was also why Sean didn’t follow the plan and suddenly blew his top!!!
But! Thinking of Cecilia and Phyllis in the capital, for the safety of these two women, Sean had to endure, the veins on his right hand holding Wolf’s Massacre were visible, a strong urge to kill emerged! But! He gritted his teeth and held back!
All he could do now was to add some chaos to Maclean Lyons and Gloydius and others, to scare them!
Taking a deep breath! Sean faced Ashby and snorted: “Since you’ve found out, let’s just say it!”
“Correct!”
“I did collude with the barbarian tiger generals in secret, intending to take the opportunity of the Fort South rebellion to kill you, the damn prince!”
“Today!”
“I will take your head!!!”
In the end! The safety of Cecilia and Phyllis led Sean to choose to compromise, to play along with Maclean Lyons and Gloydius, and to implicate Lynx and Cheetah!
Speaking! Sean turned to Lynx and Cheetah and said solemnly: “General Lynx, General Cheetah, let’s lay our cards on the table!”
“Together!”
“Kill him quickly!!!”
With one sentence! He pointed the so-called barbarian traitors towards Lynx and Cheetah!
The next moment! Lynx and Cheetah felt a chill in their hearts, and a series of question marks appeared above their heads:
Damn!
What the hell???
But Sean’s words made Maclean Lyons and Gloydius and others breathe a sigh of relief, they were overjoyed, and looked at Lynx and Cheetah, saying coldly: “So you two were the ones who conspired to kill the beast king, attempted to incite the Fort South rebellion, and tried to dominate the barbarians!”
“You son of a…”
Lynx was the first to react, he didn’t care about Gloydius’s accusation, instead he glared at Sean, cursing: “What the hell!!!!!”
“When did I ever collude with you in secret???”
It was not until this moment! Lynx and Cheetah realized that they might have been set up!!!
“Stop pretending!”
“It’s useless!”
Sean reached into his chest and took out the two fake tokens, held them high above his head, and shouted to the barbarian army across from him: “The tokens of General Lynx and General Cheetah are here!”
“Both of them!”
“Are now under my command, all the soldiers under their command, must obey my orders!”
“Kill!!!”
The sound was like thunder, echoing in all directions!
The fifty thousand barbarian armies could almost all hear it, and in an instant, the army was in chaos!
Gloydius took the opportunity to press: “With both evidence and witness, what else have you got to say?”
“I…”
Lynx and Cheetah were almost choked to death by anger, subconsciously reaching into their chest to take out their real tokens to prove their innocence!
However!
Maclean Lyons and Gloydius and others who were prepared, naturally would not give them this chance!
“Attack!”
“Kill them, punish the rebels, avenge the Beast King!” Voices of Maclean Lyons and Gloydius rang out almost simultaneously, cutting off Lynx and Cheetah’s words. Immediately after, the generals under Maclean Lyons acted without hesitation, directly attacking Lynx and the three elders by his side.
The nine elders around Gloydius and his group, like a swarm of bees, charged towards Cheetah and his party. Since Lynx and Cheetah – one on the left, one on the right – hadn’t been seated together previously, two battlefields instantly emerged. However, regardless of the battlefield, Maclean Lyons and Gloydius, in terms of numbers and strength, held an absolute advantage. It was a situation of ten against four; the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
“Kill!”
“Kill them!” As Maclean Lyons and Gloydius gave the order, the already chaotic army began to act. Among the fifty thousand barbarian troops, thirty thousand were soldiers under Gloydius and his group, naturally obeying their command.
On the other side, Maclean Lyons, following the previous plan, had fifty thousand of the hundred thousand troops charge from both sides. Combined with the fifty thousand soldiers under Gloydius, they quickly formed an immense encirclement, trapping the twenty thousand troops under Lynx and Cheetah in the middle, launching an almost overwhelming, frenzied slaughter!!!
From the moment Sean took out the tokens, to when Lynx, Cheetah, and their twenty thousand troops were surrounded and executed, only a short span of ten or so seconds passed. Even a fool could see that this was a premeditated set-up. The action was too swift! By the time Lynx and Cheetah realized something was amiss, it was too late. They were caught off guard, with no time to react, let alone a chance to resist.
However, as the battle began and the killing cries shook the heavens, the eleven elders in the perfect state firmly protected Ashby behind them. They didn’t rush into the battle but kept retreating, escorting Ashby off the negotiation stage and into the ranks of the five thousand imperial guards brought from the capital. Lynx and Cheetah’s execution was the affair of Maclean Lyons and Gloydius.
In Ashby’s eyes, there was only Sean. He knew that the eleven elders in the perfect state by his side were no match for Sean. Hence, he was retreating, waiting. Waiting for Maclean Lyons and Gloydius to finish their part so they could join forces and execute Sean.
But Sean had no intention of waiting!
“So, you’ve been wanting to kill me, haven’t you?”
“Come on!”
“Hiding there like a cowardly turtle, is this the courage and spirit of a crown prince?”
“Your head!”
“Does not deserve to hang from your neck!”
“Today!”
“I will end it!!!”
In Sean’s eyes, there was also only Ashby. Holding Wolf’s Massacre, he step by step descended from the negotiation stage, murderously walking towards Ashby. The pent-up rage seemed ready to vent completely on Ashby!
