Dragon King's Harem Chapter 178. The Minotaur's Camp II
The general blunt reaction triggered the king. He leaned his body on the general, a gesture that the general had gotten his full attention. But in this case, in a bad sense. His eyes shot the anger.
"Are you underestimating my plan, General?!" he snapped.
The general stared at his king's face for a moment. His hands clenched into fists as he tried to swallow the anger that filled his heart desperately.
But finally, the general bent his head in sorry. Not because he felt guilty, but because he decided to swallow his ego. He knew if they fought now, the war wouldn't go well and it would only cost more soldiers' lives.
"No, Your Majesty," said the general.
At least he had to do this properly to ensure his soldiers' sacrifice was not in vain. He didn't even understand why the king suddenly decided to attack Draconis for no apparent reason.
None of the Minotaur's nobles agreed. Not even the king's wives. But Xinrax was very stubborn and decided to do it anyway. The king said, due to Argod's absence, Draconis' territory was the same as a territory without a ruler. So whoever could conquer it, would get that territory. And he would not pass up the opportunity.
"The last time I checked, the king of the Minotaur tribe is Xinrax, not Dravis. So do what you have to do! And make sure everything goes well! It's your job! Not mine!" the king snapped before he plopped himself on his chair and gestured at the maid to feed him with more berries.
The maid quickly did as he asked.
"I understand, Your Majesty…" replied the general before he lifted his head and spoke again with his assistants. This time he completely ignored the king and only fully concentrated on his assistants.
The general knew explaining the plan execution to the king would be useless. The king would only claim the general's victory and so on or did what he would do as he pleased.
"Once the battle horn was sounded and our army charged, the elite soldiers broke through the tunnels. That way we would get them from both directions," the general concluded.
"We understand, General!" said the assistants.
"Good. Now get ready. I will catch you up," said the general again.
After the assistants bowed to him and the king, they left.
The general turned to the king and tried to keep his composure.
"The battle is about to start, Your Majesty. Will you join us? Or will you be here?" asked the general politely, holding back annoyance filling his heart. Even though the king was already wearing his armor, judging by the king's relaxed demeanor, the general wasn't sure he would join him.
The king looked at him out of the corner of his eye with disdain.
"Why should I join you? It's your job to bring me victory. The dragons don't have a king and I already gave you my brilliant plan so we should be able to win easily right?" He said in a nonchalant tone.
That plan was actually his discussion's results with the Orc King. The reason why he agreed to execute this plan before the orcs arrived was that Uraugh agreed to give the Minotaur more territory if their plan worked.
In addition, according to their agreement, if the Minotaur chose to break through the Firestone Fortress, the Orcs would be on the front line when they broke through the dragon's capital. And Xinrax knew Dragon Cross City's defense was the best in all of Igixar. Of course, he chose the easiest option.
The general bowed.
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will order a squad of elite soldiers to protect you and two couriers to inform you of what is happening on the battlefield," he stated. Since he wanted to ensure The Minotaur's victory, the general decided to lead this war himself.
"It's unnecessary. Just give me a few elite soldiers. I can take care of my safety by myself," he replied firmly. As long as there was no dragon king, the dragon general and his elite soldiers would not be enough to defeat him. So he was very confident about it. Besides, sending assassins to kill him was impossible, since he could detect opponents as long as they were walking on the ground. While his soldiers overcame attacks from the air.
"But Your Majesty, this is a battlefield. The enemy could use sneaky tricks to harm you," the general warned. He realized if the enemy got the king, then they could do nothing but surrender and run away.
The King picked up his ax and pounded it once to the ground in displeasure. The land shook due to the impact. Some items fell from the table and rolled to the ground. The maids' shrieks followed. But the general simply kept his footing and didn't flinch.
“Do I need to repeat my order, General?!” The king roared in displeasure.
"No, Your Majesty. I will carry out all your orders," replied the general as politely as possible.
"Good," replied the king, waving his hand out, asking him to leave immediately.
After answering the king with a bow, the general turned and walked out.
'Xinrax… Sooner or later, you will only destroy the Minotaur!' thought the general. He wanted to say that so badly but the Mark of Servant in his body would not allow it.
No, he couldn't even kill the king or betray him even if he wanted to. That irritated him. Moreover, he knew Xinrax was unfit for the throne from the start.
Once the general came out of the tent, his feet stopped at the entrance. Slowly, he turned his head to the clear sky. A crazy thought crossed his head. An idea to get rid of the king.
"I wonder if the dragons could do that for me…" he muttered in a low voice. But if the dragons managed to do that it meant they had managed to destroy the Minotaur's entire army and kill him.
A long tiring breath out of the general's mouth.
"Either way, in the end, there was only death for me," he said as he moved his feet again.
