Chapter 564

(Unedited)

…

The sun gradually crawls down the horizon as the darkness slowly blankets the land. The thick black smoke can be seen from miles away especially at the stronghold of the Silver Moon Empire. This made every imperial soldier celebrate as they shouted in jubilation.

On the other side, the camp of the Golden Dragon Empire is quiet. They didn't make any move as if what they just experience is a great blow on their pride.

Meanwhile, inside the stronghold, the 3rd prince is currently sitting on a wooden chair while looking at the people around the table with a smug expression on his face. He was very confident of his decision as he knew of the strength of his guards.

”Hehe… So, what do you think of my plan… general?” he asked with a smirk on his handsome face.

Prince Mingwa Dong who is supposed to be pretending as a captain has already spread his claws all over the camp. The general knew of this but he is powerless to act unless the prince goes overboard and jeopardizes the lives of all the soldiers and the security of the empire.

”You did a good job, your highness…”

”Yes, yes, that was a brilliant plan.”

”It would not have worked if it wasn't for your ingenious plan. Haha…”

The fawning voices of the other soldiers and captains in the group echoed as they sing empty praises to the 3rd prince.

Mingwa Dong is in his high horses when suddenly someone from the outside requested to come inside the tent.

Then that person whispers something in the 3rd Prince's ears and his expression suddenly changes.

This sudden change in the 3rd prince's expression made everyone in the room feel confused. They didn't know why the prince is angry or what made him angry.

”Is there something wrong your highness?”

”Tell us and we will make it happen.”

”Yes, leave it to us, your highness…”

The other captains said trying to suck up with the prince.

While two people inside the room just kept their silence. One is General Hu, and the other one is the captain of Shin Jiao's infantry company.

They both are thinking of something in their mind as they didn't pay attention to what is happening.

General Hu is currently thinking about how the catapult was destroyed just like that? He knew of the strength of the enemy and no matter how strong the three guards that the prince inserted in that strike team, he is sure that they are not strong enough to be able to pull off such a stunt.

Meanwhile, the captain in Shin Jiao's company is worried about his soldiers who went to that place. Although he knew that the mission was a success, he does not want his soldiers to die in there.

And so the tent turned silent and the 3rd prince suddenly stood up from his seat.

”Send 50 men to surround them… I want them all dead…” the 3rd prince said while clenching his teeth.

He didn't want those soldiers to survive. He lost his two guards and yet the others were unhurt? How could he suffer such humiliation?

With a sinister sneer, he wanted these people to know that their own life and death are in his hands. But before he can be happy, the voice of General Hu interrupted him.

”3rd Prince Mingwa Dong! This is not your own private backyard that you would just kill any soldier you wanted… your father the emperor gave me a task to train you to be a good commander. If you act this way, I will exercise what the emperor commanded me to do, I assure you that!”

When Mingwa Dong heard these words, the sinister look on his face froze. He then turned to the general with a scowl on his face. And then he smiled sarcastically.

”General Hu,… are you… are you defying me, right now?” the 3rd prince asked while slowly turning towards the general.

As a prince, Mingwa Dong is used to throwing his weights around and people fawning over him. He likes the feeling of being praised and hated people reprimanding him.

When he was sent to this battlefront, he was angry with his father the emperor, but what can he do? Every prince of the empire is to experience battle to mold them as a good leader. And this year it is his turn.

And now that the famous General scolded him, his pride was hurt and he wanted to fight back. How dare a mere general reprimand a prince?

”I am a prince, and I should be the leader of this army… not you… I have been holding back for a while now. I think it is time for me to teach you a lesson about who is the real leader of this army.” The 3rd prince said as he pointed at General Hu.
