Chapter 544
“Even if it was a rescue operation, it should be me who gives the orders for the Spec Ops forces to go to the mayor’s rescue.
“Now, the Western Nations have lost a hundred thousand soldiers. The ministry has been receiving calls non–stop, and there’s also large–scale turmoil on the western border…
“Someone has to take responsibility for all of this!”
At those words, Registus glanced at Andrius and sneered, “This responsibility is not something you can bear. It must be borne by them.”
Of course, he wanted to kill Andrius.
However, the timing was not right, and he could not kill Andrius anyway. Thus, he had to slowly twist the circumstances in his favor.
“Registus Ohger!”
Andrius was truly angry. He knew that Registus was doing this on purpose. He glared fiercely at Registus. His eyes were cold and gloomy. “What do you want for you to let them go?”
There it was!
A glimmer of light flashed in Registus‘ eyes.
Then, he stared at Andrius and said with a hint of coldness, “I’ll give you two choices, Andrius Moonshade.
“One, I can reinstate your position as the Wolf King. That way, it is reasonable for the Lycantroops to destroy a hundred thousand soldiers in a rage in order to save you.
“However, the condition is that you can no longer interfere in Vintus Hagstorm’s affairs, and you can no longer continue to investigate the truth behind the massacre of the Klein family.”
Sure enough, it was that!
Andrius‘ hunch about there being something fishy about the massacre of the Kleins, and that it had something to do with Registus, grew even stronger.
“Two, the former Wolf King of Florence, Andrius Moonshade, died in the battle on Camelback Mountain last night, causing the Lycantroops to riot and slaughter the hundred thousand soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Wolf King.
“From now on, the Wolf King, Andrius Moonshade, no longer exists in Florence. You must disappear from the world!”
This was Registus‘ true goal.
It was either Andrius withdrawing from that matter, or Andrius handing the Lycantroops over.
No matter which he chose, Registus was the final winner. This was the plan that the Second War God suggested to him.
“I choose…”
Andrius knew about Registus‘ plot, but in order to find out the truth of that year and save Old
Hagstorm, he resolutely said, “The latter.”
“Good! It’s settled.” Registus clapped his hands and laughed, announcing loudly, “From today onward, Florence no longer has Andrius Moonshade, the Wolf King!
“Remember… No one can mention the words ‘Wolf King‘ and ‘Andrius Moonshade‘ in the same sentence ever again. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to death without mercy!
“Andrius Moonshade, I will erect a tombstone for you in the Martyrs‘ Hall in the west for the people to pay respects to you.
“At the same time, I’ll inform the whole country to fly the flags at half–mast for you for three days. I will give you the highest honor and glory of Florence.
“Don’t disappoint me.”
After saying that, Registus‘ lips curled into a triumphant smile as he left with the War Gods, Warzone Masters, and countless Imperial Guards.
Flying the flags at half–mast…
Normally, it would be the highest honor and affirmation.
However, when Registus said it, it was nothing more than another plot to prevent him from turning the tables.
Andrius sneered.
On his way back to Kiyoto, Registus turned around and patted the Second War God’s shoulder, saying, “Now that Andrius has completely disappeared from Florence, you should quickly take control of the Lycantroops. With the Lycantroops in my hands, I can finally sleep peacefully.”
The Second War God longed for this and immediately said confidently, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. As long as Andrius doesn’t interfere anymore, I guarantee that I’ll firmly control the Lycantroops within three months!”
Registus nodded in satisfaction.
Three months might be a bit long, but it would pass by in the blink of an eye.
Next, he had to think about how to deal with Vintus.
“However, Your Majesty, Andrius registered for the Grand Medicinal Competition. If he reaches the top of the Heavenly Ranking, it would also be troublesome. What should we do?”
He wanted to get rid of Andrius, so he naturally did not want the latter to participate in the Grand Medicinal Competition.
Registus glanced at him and said in displeasure, “The Wolf King is dead, so Andrius‘ registration for the Grand Medicinal Competition in the Wolf King’s name is naturally invalid. Do you still need me to teach you how to stop him from participating in the Grand Medicinal Competition?”
The Second War God had a sudden realization.
Yes!
Andrius was no longer the Wolf King, so it would be easy to deal with hirn!
Before the Second War God could respond, Registus leaned in and whispered something in a
low voice.
The Second War God suddenly understood.
Then, he and Registus exchanged a look and laughed. It was a hearty chuckle.
