“We want to meet His Majesty!”
“Exactly! We want to meet His Majesty!”
“How could His Majesty fool us like that? We demand an explanation!”
Inside the golden chariot, Tian Hu heard obstreperous complaints when he woke up with a few maids and concubines in his arms!
“What’s going on? Who’s yelling outside?”
Tian Hu, who felt slightly dizzy, craned his head coldly out of the golden chariot with a crinkled dragon robe on his body. He looked like an infuriated tiger.
“Your Majesty!”
The head of the bodyguards ran to him, sweating.
“Well... The pieces of gold that were distributed last night all turned into stones this morning. The meat became rotten food too. Those who had it are vomiting and having diarrhea... Some soldiers are angry and shouting outside...”
“What?!
“How did it happen?”
Tian Hu glared. His head was too dizzy for him to remember the previous night.
“Last night, the Liao people looted our food and the gold that you intended to give to the soldiers. Then, the prime minister turned stones into pieces of gold and dry food into cooked meat with a spell.
“Come to think of it, maybe the spell has expired...” the head of the bodyguards said anxiously.
Having fought for a whole day in the previous day, almost every soldier had been “rewarded”.
It was not hard to imagine how many of them had gathered and were seething!
“Last night... I remember it now!”
Tian Hu shook his head and remembered what happened before his sleep.
“Damn it, be gentler!”
Then, he turned around angrily and snapped at a maid who was combing and putting on his clothes for him after he rose.
The golden chariot was so luxurious that it had more facilities than a modern RV did.
“How can one possibly turn stones into pieces of gold? Do those idiots have no brains at all?”
Hearing the complaints of the mutinying soldiers, Tian Hu became ashen and snorted.
“Well...”
The head of the bodyguards ducked his head, not daring to look into the chariot.
He sweated even harder after Tian Hu said that.
“Where’s the prime minister? Ask him to come here and get this over with!”
Tian Hu spoke to the head of the bodyguards with a tightened face.
“The prime minister distributed the gold and food to every camp last night and didn’t return to his tent until an hour ago. However, his tent is empty right now. There’s no telling where he is.”
The head of the bodyguards lowered his head and added, “Because of the mutinies in every camp, it’s impossible to search for him right now.”
“What about the generals?”
“They were at the meeting as well. Why didn’t they appease their subordinates?” Tian Hu asked in agitation.
“The soldiers all claim that they have severe headaches and stomaches, and they can’t get the soldiers under control!” the head of the bodyguards replied.
“A*shole. Are those people rebelling?”
Tian Hu was so enraged that his thick beard rose on his chin.
At the same time, he vaguely realized that something wasn’t right.
Although he knew that the generals might be angry with him, they couldn’t possibly all use sickness as their excuse, could they?
Also, the battle that they planned was about to start, and Qiao Daoqing, as the prime minister and the military advisor, was gone.
Where could he be?
Boom, boom, boom...
However, before Tian Hu could think more carefully, a thunderous noise burst outside of the main camp.
“Not good! The enemy is coming at us!”
The Golden Condor Unit of the Twin Dragon Island arrived from the sky again and dropped black-and-yellow balls.
They weren’t exactly Flood Dragon’s Eggs, which had already been used up in the battle the previous day. Those blackish balls didn’t cause massive explosions. They simply unleashed yellow smoke that swept across the camp.
Tian Hu’s soldiers, who were dizzy and exhausted from diarrhea in the first place, all foamed and fell on the ground after only ten days!
“Watch out! The smoke is...”
The people of the Twin Dragon Island had been defending the whole time, so their unexpected attack caught Tian Hu’s soldiers unprepared.
Besides, they were in the middle of a mutiny, and their commanders were sick from all the drinking.
Very soon, the whole camp fell into utmost chaos.
“Attack!”
“Master says that whoever kills Tian Hu will be given a thousand kilograms of gold and get to choose one of his concubines!”
The Beast Blood Guards of the Twin Dragon Island appeared around the camp with bloodshot eyes and charged relentlessly. Some players who held guns were shouting aloud too.
The Twin Dragon Island could actually afford a thousand kilograms of gold. In the Metal Men’s territory, there were probably a thousand tons of gold.
Otherwise, how could every one of the heroes be equipped with a Soft Golden Armor?
Of course, that announcement was actually made known to Tian Hu’s soldiers!
“Not good, Your Majesty, something isn’t right!
“You take the ladies back to the royal palace. I will sacrifice myself and stop the enemies!”
The head of the bodyguards roared and drew out a saber that emitted a hazy blue light. He was about to charge at the people of the Twin Dragon Island when he was stunned.
It was because, the moment he said that, the golden chariot had already glowed and gathered a Golden Flood Dragon almost three meters long that pulled the chariot out of the camp.
“It’s Tian Hu’s chariot...”
“Stop him! He’s the BOSS! Don’t let him get away!”
Seeing the golden chariot, some players attempted to block it.
However, the golden chariot was very past and ignored all obstacles when pulled by the Golden Flood Dragon. It broke the fences, escaped from the attackers, and went straight to the Demon Volcano.
“Damn it. The spell could’ve expired any time except the beginning of the battle!
“Prime Minister, I have really underestimated you!”
In the rushing golden chariot, Tian Hu’s voice was filled with fury.
He was not really returning to the royal palace, which would be pointless.
He knew very well that Qiao Daoqing must’ve set him up. Not just him, the soldiers in his camp must’ve been suffering from Qiao Daoqing’s spell and couldn’t possibly resist the people of the Twin Dragon Island.
The only reinforcements that could save the day were the men whom he left behind to defend the Demon Volcano.
“Your Majesty, you’re late!”
However, when the golden chariot ran all the way to the Demon Volcano, he saw Qiao Daoqing waving his fan in the camp that was already empty.
A lot of black air was surging, and five birds in different colors blocked the way of the golden chariot with overwhelming flames.
Apart from Qiao Daoqing, a bunch of players and natives of the Twin Dragon Island charged out from the two sides of the camp and surrounded the golden chariot with cold and hot weapons!
