Chapter 594 Reporting (1)
We remained in this place for a while as we fortified the area just in case there was another attack.
But I knew that it was impossible for there to be another attack since they now knew about the Blood Worms.
Inversely, it meant that we weren’t able to attack from this place either since it would mean having to cross the territory of the Blood Worms.
So neither kingdoms were really concerned about this place.
Though if I really wanted to, I could think of a way to cross the nest of the Blood Worms without a problem.
This was information from the game and I had plenty of that information, so I knew how to handle this if there really was a need.
But I chose not to attack the Midra Kingdom.
There were two reasons for that.
The first was that after wiping out an army of one hundred and twenty thousand, there was no doubt that the Midra Kingdom was already hurting. It would be unlikely that they would be able to continue aggression for a while since they would be trying to make up for this lack of forces.
They were surrounded by other countries as well after all.
For a country that only had around twenty million citizens to begin with, a hundred and twenty thousand soldiers should be close to a third of their entire forces.
They wouldn’t do anything foolish while they were weakened like this.
So I would be able to use them as a buffer for anyone else that wanted to attack us.
Second, it was because of my personal feelings.
They were invading us, so I would show no mercy to the invaders.
But if we became the invaders, then I would start showing hesitation. After all, it would be on my mind how the people of the Midra Kingdom would be suffering like we were.
So I didn’t want that on my conscience.
After a week of fortifying this place, I was trying to figure out where to go next.
During this time, the fourth prince had arranged for me to receive reports on the situations of the other battlefields. So I had a good idea of the direction that this war was currently heading because of all these reports.
At the same time, I also received reports from Shaka from Shadow Garden that gave me a good look of the situation behind the scenes. I had a good idea of what the people behind the armies were thinking as well.
There were some places that I was considering going since these were places that had special things just like this nest of Blood Worms.
As long as I took advantage of those places, it would be easy to wipe out the enemy just like with the army of the Midra Kingdom.
But while I was deciding on where to go next…
“General, there’s a special guest here to see you.”
To my surprise, I found that it was General Killock who had come to get me.
I had been locked up in the strategy room these days trying to figure out my next move. Because of the status that I now had with this army, they knew better than to distract me.
That included General Killock.
For him to come get me personally like this, it seemed like the guest that had come was an important one.
So I said with a nod, “Alright, let’s go see them.”
As I stood up, I saw that General Killock was looking at me with a strange look.
With one brow raised, I asked, “What’s wrong?”
General Killock didn’t say anything at first, but he slowly shook his head and said, “No, nothing’s wrong. We should go, we shouldn’t keep this guest waiting.”
I had an even more confused look on my face after hearing this, but I still nodded in agreement and followed General Killock out.
Since this was a military camp, there weren’t many places that were considered nice.
But the tent that I was brought to was the special tent that was used as a reward for soldiers that had achieved great merits. It was a special tent that had a fully furnished room and everything.
In short, it was the nicest place in this military camp.When we came in, I was surprised to see the person sitting at the table sipping tea.
After taking a moment to recover, I said with a bow, “Your highness, what are you doing here?”
It was the fourth prince who had suddenly appeared here.
But the fourth prince didn’t say anything related to this. Instead, he said, “You’re calling me your highness again?”
I revealed an awkward look before looking around at the soldiers around me.
General Killock and the officers who had been allowed to come as guards all had very strange looks on their faces after hearing this.
With a sigh, I said, “Brother, what are you doing here?”
As soon as I said this, all of them looked at me in shock. But they didn’t look at me for long as they quickly turned to look at the fourth prince, waiting for his reaction.
When they saw him reveal a smile, there was a chill that ran down their backs as they were afraid that this was it for them.
But to their surprise, the fourth prince actually wasn’t angry as he said, “There we go.” Then he waved his hand at me and said, “Come, let’s sit and talk. I made sure to bring some special tea and treats that my sister prepared for you.”
The awkward look on my face became even more awkward when I heard this…
However, that wasn’t the worst part.
The worst part was the way that General Killock and the officers were looking at me.
It was clear what they were thinking based on the looks on their faces.
After I sat down, the fourth prince said, “Alright, I came here today for two things.”
