The Golden Throne - Chapter 224

“Funny you say that boy. You act as if you have a say in this matter. You are just a midget that a lot of people favor. That means nothing to me.” Bai Lu sneered.

Liu Feng looked at Bai Lu warily.

“I have no more energy to deal with you. Fine. I will talk with this fool after the war is over. This war better go properly though. I am leaving my back open, and I do not want to get crossed by you guys.” Bai Lu said.

Long Che nodded at Bai Lu and winked at Liu Feng. He then left the tent. Bai Lu also left shortly. Liu Feng let a short breath of relief. The ground beneath him started shaking, and the slabs of earth that came out went back into the ground.

He fell onto the ground flat and looked up. All he could see was the red tent drape.

“Wow. I still cannot believe it. The nuclear weapon worked. If even this worked, then so many things are possible. Oh my god. I cannot wait to try them all out.” Liu Feng giggled to himself.

“Let me warn you, Liu Feng. This is not going to be an easy path that you are taking. There will be many who will go against your ideals, because this is not knowledge that belongs to this world. All of us spirits knew that you were different when a soul that looked like it was twenty years old belonged to a five year old. We knew you were special, but we did not inquire. The mortal world is not so easygoing. Be careful. That is the only advice that I can give you.” Primitus suddenly said.

Liu Feng nodded. He hopped back onto his feet and left the tent. Outside, he could immediately see that the three kings were talking to each other. They were intensely discussing what Liu Feng assumed were the next steps that were to be taken.

He jogged up to them and they noticed him.

“Good. The demons are gone, and those powerful seniors are all gone. It is your turn to speak now. You messed up my entire plan. Now, I have to explain to the army that this is actually the final battle, and they will start getting all tensed up. Do you have any idea what happened? Why didn’t you just tell us that you were planning this?” Balor raged.

“It was not my intention to keep this a secret. It was just that I did not have complete confidence that this would succeed. Even now, if I repeat the exact same thing, a useful product might not come out. I did not want an army of north of a hundred thousand to rely on a faulty weapon. I could not afford to increase your expectations as well.” Liu Feng explained himself.

“At the least, he thinned the demon army quite a bit. That is what counts. This will help us, considering that now, the demon army is probably not bigger than our own army. And I am positive that the Glade army did not even survive the attack. As for Tyrion, it is a pity that he might have died, but it is better if he did. That way, even the remaining Glade army will be leaderless.” Damascus said.

“Yes. All of that is good. We should go in now. This is the right time to go in.” Liu Man said.

“Now? Why now? The army is too tired. We will be demolished if we take such an exhausted army into battle. They have been traveling for a whole three days. They barely had a few days of rest. I am not allowing this.” Damascus disagreed almost instantly.

“The army is too exhausted. The moment that the dragon tribe and the others leave the army, we will be decimated. Instead of lambs waiting for slaughter, we can charge in, and do what we can, and wait for those people to kill the upper echelon of the demon army. Then, they can take care of the smaller ranks as well, and the war will be over.” Liu Man said.

“I agree. I want this war over as soon as possible. Waiting for another day will only put my men in a more tensed and stressed state.” Balor said.

“Fine.” Damascus conceded.

“That reminds me. Father. Where are the mages? The children. I only found the students. The disciples of the mage tower are nowhere to be seen.” Liu Feng asked.

“What do you think happened? They are on all four sides of this army. They were put there to make sure that no demons could intercept us from the side. You made us come to the capital so quickly after all.” Balor said.

“I see. Now that it is no longer necessarily, can you please get all of the mages here? I want them to be assembled as we charge in. They will be instrumental in taking care of the demon soldiers. I will be taking care of any demon captains that are present.” Liu Feng said.

“Fine. You are in charge of the mages after all. I don’t want to take care of any of this. I just want to finish this.” Balor said as he turned around and left.

Now, Liu Man and Damascus looked at Liu Feng.

“That weapon. Was that something that the master of the mage tower came up with as well?” Liu Man asked with a trembling voice.

“Father. I will explain all of this later. This is a truth that you have to eventually hear. I will reveal it to you later. But now, we have so much to take care of, and I do not want to put more stress on you.” Liu Feng said with a worried face.
