Chapter 1957: Delicious Resentment

“Royal Father, why did we suddenly launch attacks on the orcs and elves?” Sean asked with bewilderment as he followed behind Andre on their way to their flying steed.

Andre’s face sank, and he whispered, “I want to find out right now who deployed my army behind my back.”

“Isn’t that your order?” Sean’s expression changed. Andre had absolute control over the Roth Empire’s army. On top of that, the Roth Empire’s marshal was right beside them now. If it was not Andre’s orders, who could have deployed both the northwestern and southeastern troops at the same time to start the war?

“Could it be Josh?” Sean exclaimed.

“It’s not him.” Andre dismissed that conjecture without even thinking. “If the Magus Tower is in control of Rodu, it might still be him. However, no one other than me could deploy the two armies.”

“I was just making a guess. Please do not be alarmed. After all, the only person in Rodu who could have enough power to do this is Josh. All of us happen to be in Chaos City.” Sean quickly lowered his head.

Upon hearing that, Andre’s expression turned serious. He turned to the other official beside him, and asked, “Is there any news from Rodu?”

“Your Majesty, everything is normal in Rodu currently. There were no abnormalities,” the official replied respectfully.

“Did Josh send any message?” Andre asked again.

“The second prince did not send any message. However, there is news from Rodu that he is currently trying to maintain order in Rodu.”

Andre nodded, and said, “Send out my command. The Roth Empire will enter warfare mode. We will proceed with the dual-line battle[a] according to the original plan. We’ll return to Rodu first.”

“Yes,” that official replied.

“Your Majesty, can I proceed to the Twilight Forest? If anything happened internally within the army, it would be my responsibility, and I hope to eradicate that problem personally,” Dominic told Andre with a grave expression.

The army had started a war with the orcs and elves, bypassing him and His Majesty. That meant that they had already lost control over the empire’s army. As the marshal of the empire, he had to be held accountable.

What he wanted to find out right now was who could infiltrate the army’s system to come out with something so severe.

Their target this time might be the orcs and the elves, but what if their next target was Rodu? This was unacceptable to any ruler.

“I hope you can give me a satisfactory reply,” Andre replied Dominic as he paused in his steps.

“Yes.” Dominic nodded and left quickly.

In no time at all, a black griffin took off from the city lord’s castle, and went in the northwestern direction.

Immediately after that, several flying steeds flew towards the north.

“Josh, you’re actually courting your own death. That’s unexpected.” Sean smiled coldly as he sat on the griffin’s back.

Attacking the orcs had nothing to do with Sean, and it was also not the king’s command. Therefore, the only one who could be capable of it was Josh.

However, he was shocked at how Josh could infiltrate the military, and even control the northwestern army and deploy it.

As for Josh’s motive, Sean guessed that it was to start a war during the peace talks so that the various races would be angry about it, thus taking it out on Andre and Sean, and keeping them at Chaos City. That way, Josh would naturally become the king of the Roth Empire.

However, no matter how much Josh had schemed, he would not expect that although the various races were angry, they did not even attempt to hold them back.

The Roth Empire’s best powerhouses had gone to Chaos City with them. Whoever wanted to touch them would have to think twice whether it was worth it to make things turn ugly with the Roth Empire over the orcs.

The Twilight Forest, in the settlement of a tribe that was just wiped out.

Amidst the ruins and flickering flames lay countless lifeless orc bodies.

Josh, with his hair let down, stood on one of the fallen walls with his eyes closed and arms wide open.

Black fog started rising around his body, quickly rushing towards him and into his body, forming a ball of black fog around him, and making him look rather hazy.

“Delicious resentment. A taste I miss oh so much…” The greedy and hysterical voice rang in Josh’s heart as his lips curled up in a cold smile.

The black fog was fully absorbed before Josh opened his eyes.

The heavy fog slowly dispersed, and an evil red flashed across his eyes as the evil aura around him increased drastically.

Josh clenched his fists to feel that strong surge of power flowing within him.

This was power, not magic!

After absorbing all the resentment from the massacred tribe, his power started increasing by leaps and bounds.

If it could be quantified, it would be equivalent to a 9th-tier knight.

He was really elated that as a magic caster, his power could be elevated to that similar to a 9th-tier knight’s in a short span of half a day.

“The 9th-tier to 10th-tier is a huge step forward. You will still require a large tribe to provide you with resentment. The Aug Tribe, which has a population of a few hundred thousand orcs, is not a bad choice…” The devilish voice sounded again.

“In that case, we’ll choose the Aug Tribe.” Josh smiled. He pulled out a piece of special military-use paper, and wrote two lines on it before sending it out to the frontline warriors.

“I’ve plotted for so many years. Now, everything is gone. What a pity…” Josh looked towards the east, and laughed self-mockingly.

“As long as you wipe the entire Twilight Forest out, and absorb all this resentment, you will be able to become the real powerhouse, which is what they deem a god. When that happens, the Roth Empire will be yours, even the entire Norland Continent.” The devil’s voice rang in Josh’s head.

“If anyone was to blame, it would be Alex for being too pushy, and Royal Father far being too biased. If I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it. If you guys like war, I will help you start the war. I want to see who gets the last laugh.” Josh stopped smiling, and transformed into a cloud of black smoke, disappearing within the dense forest.

“Your Highness, the fifth barrier of the northwestern border was completely destroyed. The Roth Empire’s army has already entered the Wind Forest, and we can’t stop them!” a commander reported as he rushed into a tent.

“What?!”

The elves in the tent, who were coming up with a plan to eradicate the enemy, all had a grave expression when they heard the news.

Sally’s brows were also tightly knitted together. However, she still remained composed. She looked at the commander, and said, “Where are the Keynes, Lardnar, and Statt Family?”

These three large families resided in the northwestern part of the Wind Forest, being in the way of the Roth Empire’s invasion.

“The Keynes Family fought hard, and were defeated. The Lardnar and Statt Family have already fled southwards before the enemy attacked them,” the commander reported.

[a]do you mean that they are going to fight both orcs and elves (on two sides)?

if so, we instead need to use:

war on two fronts
