Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Bad News reaches the Vandora kingdom
General Buckle had a brow up, “Good news!?”

Advisor Gon chuckled a bit, “General Buckle, with what I have in store for you, you might be transferred to the king’s side immediately.”

General Buckle had his eyes widened even more.

However, advisor Gon did not explain.

Rather, he indicated for the general to follow him.

A few minutes later, general Buckle and advisor Gon as well as some escorts had arrived at the former camp.

The general could not believe what he was seeing.

After all, he knew from the last battle that costed him many of the lives of his men as a result of the Orc chief’s war cry that Chiron had gotten away.

It turned out that his soldiers had deserted him, and left him with a statue of the Bear mother as a peace offering.

General Buckle walked towards Chiron.

He picked him up from the ground by the throat.

“Are you sure of this!?” General Buckle asked advisor Gon in suspicion.

Advisor Gon frowned a bit. He found it very offensive that general Buckle doubted him.

“Hmmm!!! Do you mind if I check myself!?” The general asked, “After all, I still have a score to settle with him!”

Advisor Gon waved his hand, “Sure, go ahead. I too had some resentments to vent.”

“Oh! I have resentments alright, but how I vent is special…”

“Just don’t break him. We need to hand him over to the king.” Advisor Gon added.

“Load him up on my core beast,” General Buckle instructed.

The soldiers saluted and picked Chiron up.

“Sir! What of the statue!?” The soldier asked.

The general took a look at the exquisitely carved statue and nodded, “Send some men over with a tesseract and bring it along. It would be a fine present for the king.”

….

It was not long that news of Chiron’s surrender to the Chanland kingdom spread like wildlife in the Vandora kingdom.

“King Richard!” Chief Wallow rushed into the throne room to deliver the bad news himself!

The king looked at the report and he was speechless.

After all, Chiron was not just his grandchild, but the first son to his first child. Ideally, he was supposed to be heir to the throne.

Chief Wallow frowned tightly, “See! I knew it. I knew you should have not given that BOY the authority to command the war! I knew he was nothing but total…”

“WALLOW!!!” The king called to him, “you will watch your tongue before me. Even in captivity, Chiron is still a prince of this kingdom.”

“Yes, your grace!” Chief Wallow swallowed his words and immediately bowed. “Forgive me, my lord!”

King Richard looked at the report one last time and signed heavily.

“Send word to Victor! We will be needing troops at the border with Chanland kingdom. At any moment, even now, they could match into our territory.”

“Yes, your highness!”

“And send a cored beast to the Chanland kingdom. They have a prince of MY Vandora kingdom. The significance of this will definitely affect the people during these times. Find out what they want in exchange for him. We need to get him back!”

“Yes, your highness!”

Immediately, the young tribal Chief walked out of the throne room.

The king sighed lowly. He could not help but heavily massage his forehead.

Not far from his side, commander Hardstone stood.

The commander being the man that he was couldn’t help but massage his jaw slowly.

He could not help but flash back to that battle in the Chikitsa clan where he had seen as Chiron had faced hundreds of people on his own, just fighting for his life.

Even when he had nearly died several times, Chiron had still not given up.

Commander Hardstone remembered the look in Chiron’s eyes.

This was the same person that had sliced off his own arms without a second thought.

Commander Hardstone might not know Chiron well enough, but as a warrior, he respected him.

To believe that Chiron would surrender himself to the Chanland kingdom was like telling him that the sky was not blue.

“My king!” Commander Hardstone stepped forward, “If I might be so brave, I do not believe that we need rush with the plans concerning prince Chiron.”

King Richard looked at the commander. He really did not know what to say, but as things were, he really did not want to think too much about it.

He was king. There was only so much he could give his attention, one at a time.

He rather not think of it, and just give the Chanland kingdom what they wanted. If taking Treasure town was going to secure the life of Chiron, then so be it.

King Richard felt like he owed Chiron and Nora because of what happened to their mother.

Till this moment, he still blamed himself for it.

“Most importantly, make sure this news does not reach Nora. She has only started to like it here. Telling her that her only living relative has been taken hostage would nearly break her fragile heart!”

The king gave further instructions and dismissed commander Hardstone.

In the kingdom of Vandora, things were already set in stone.

It was practically not possible to hide such an event.

The famous armless prince being taken for ransom hit hearts with surprise.

One moment Chiron was highly praised and just like that, he fell from grace like a bird with clipped wings.

Many cursed his name, many said he was incompetent, and was a fool.

After all, the Chanland kingdom made sure to tell that it was Chiron’s soldiers that deserted him after the fight with general Buckle.

Highlighting that Chiron had exchange himself for peace.

This report reached prince Victor in his tent.

He could not believe such good fortune knocking on his door.

With Chiron out of the picture, his ascension to the throne now had no obstruction whatsoever.

After all, Nora was not considered as competition.

At the moment, Victor with the blessings granted to him by the elder Shaman from the Bear mother had secured a few victories at the highlands.

He had managed with his host of armies to force the Hunter tribes of the highlands into hiding.

Right now, he had even formed camp deep within their territory.

His victory in war was also true for his fight against the Beast nation…
