The 5 Elemental Lord
Conquest plan
“Conquer Northern?” Sala one of the higher-ups laughed so hard, “That's the stupidest speech I've heard in my entire life.”
“Nefd, looks like you need more lessons. I suggest you don't insult my son like that.” General Zhuo said in a high tone.
“I'm sorry general, but what your son said is funny. Conquering Northern? Did you take the wrong medicine son.”
Zeno stared coldly at Nefd who was the top of the country. Maybe Zeno still let Nefd talk a lot, because he learned from experience with Rosh whose attitude is not much different from Nefd. Recalling, when he was made fun of by Rosh, Zeno's emotions got out of hand.
“Have it, forget it. Zeno, forget all this trouble. And ignore what Nefd said, he's the origin of talking.”
Zeno nodded with his grandmother's words. He was still silent and motionless after Nefd underestimated him. Do I need proof? That was the inner one by Zeno, but he did not want to get tired of saying that frankly. Instead of wasting time taking care of this one Nefd, he better choose to listen to the discussion said by his grandmother, which is about solving the problems that occur, namely the conflict made by Akram.
“How about the peace envoy?” Nefd.
“Northern is not the type of emperor who can accept peace that easily, the problem is about the killing of their king who is said to be involved by our king.” General Zhuo gave a voice.
“It seems like war is a very good thing, but this is not just any war, rather than a continuous conflict between two future emperors, what if we fight to conquer Northern. That way, the problems at the border will be solved, the problem of rebellion will also be resolved, and also there will be no conflict that is so complicated in the future.”
The entire crowd was shocked by what the emperor Aurrora had said. Waging a war to conquer a territory? It seems that it is not a very easy matter, of course, it will also take a lot of lives.
“This is a very difficult thing, on their side there is a very powerful storm witch. Even I myself was also a little overwhelmed and almost dead made.” Said General Zhuo.
Suddenly the eyes of the entire crowd were fixed on the crouching Zeno, he raised his eyebrows after seeing what the people were doing.
“Already expected, you guys must be looking at me like that.” Zeno sighed before continuing his words. “Before I really hated fighting, but if it is seen from the side that these two emperors did not establish any relationship, then it is better to fight to conquer one of the emperors, but, rather than in the future it will hurt either party. If you want me to kill Rungdaf, it's easy. But I also need an army, because a witch like her must have very many men.”
“I know it.” Emperor Aurrora smiled.
Nefd then threw a map of the Arctic continent onto a meeting table. While saying, “General Zhuo, it seems like you are indeed a strategist. So do what is your job.”
General Zhuo also smiled as he crossed the table. “I want to see my son's ability. So Zeno, you know what you have to do?”
“I'm not a strategist. As father thought.” Zeno lowered his face.
“Come on, you're free to make any strategy. Most importantly, you have to get everyone to agree on the strategy you created.” Answer Zeno's father.
Zeno then nodded and took out a paper scroll that was a map of the Arctic continent. Before opening, Zeno looked around and noticed everyone who was in this meeting. Only 8 people, including two state officials, Aurrora, Zeno's father, Turse, and Zeno himself, and his side was a not-so-talking person who was sitting next to Nefd.
“Now? What if tomorrow alone to discuss strategy, at least grandma should gather other important people to know. As for Turse, you better not return first to your kingdom.” Zeno.
“What's the reason?” General Zhuo frowned. “Didn't we have a lot of time? Even the emperor could gather those people as soon as possible.”
“I thought of something other than time.” Zeno raised his face after lowering his face.
The non-Nefd state higher-ups suddenly stood up with displeased faces. In a high tone, he said, “Hey hey wait, can't be like this. At least we have to finish the strategy right now.”
Emperor Aurrora turned her head before leaving the meeting room, her face extremely cold as she looked at Barou who was one of the country's top brass. “Barou, stop. Anyway today is a good day because we have special guests who are very far away.”
“Zeno, you can follow the waiter to your prepared room. Feel free to ask him for help.” Emperor Aurrora.
Zeno nodded, he then walked out after everyone else came out greeted by three maids who were ready to escort him to his room.
-----
Zeno was currently outside, more precisely looking at the night sky filled with extremely beautiful auroras. However, he was suddenly interrupted by a sudden voice appearing behind him.
“Thinking of a strategy?”
Zeno turned his head back, watching Turse who approached him while replying, “Not. You better not know.”
“You know?” Turse sat down next to Zeno before continuing his words, “Either why you are so great when fighting using elements. And I really like that.”
Zeno looked at Turse with so much disdain, but he immediately forgot his disgust and said, “I have a girlfriend who has no element, but do not underestimate him, do not underestimate him, he is really good at fighting with a sword. You might be interested in her, after all she's very beautiful.”
“Interested in a beautiful woman? I'm still normal you know.” Turse puffed his cheeks.
Zeno frowned after hearing what Turse said, “Well what do you mean, wait a minute, don't tell me that you-.” Zeno did not continue his words after seeing Turse open his head cover.
Very nicely, Turse elaborated her extremely long hair, her female figure looking so beautiful with unraveling black hair. Zeno was so surprised, he did not expect that Turse was a woman. Wearing a head covering and a heavy voice made him look like a man.
“Lose with women?” Zeno looked very embarrassed, considering that while fighting with Turse, he lost and was limped.
“I lost at the time. Afflicted by a big tree it was terrible.” Turse hugged both of his legs.
“But you are so great, even without the elements you can defeat the poison archer. And I really admire you, which makes me promise to myself, as well as to you to be the right hand and most loyal person when you become the emperor of the Arctic Continent later.” She looked at Zeno with teary eyes.
“Ear?” Zeno frowned before continuing, “Are you not the hand of the king of Buras, why did you betray him?” Ask.
“True, one day you will definitely become emperor, because only you are the heir to the imperial throne. And I did not betray the king of Buras, the king of Buras has a life that is soon.” Turse looked so sad, his teary face let out a tear dripping down his palm.
“As for me, I only promise to be the right hand of the king of Buras only, and not to the heir to the throne of the kingdom of Alvalos.” Reciprocity.
Zeno nodded, what he cared about was not about the king of Buras whose life would not be long, but about him who was the heir to the imperial throne. Yes although she was aware, that her grandmother had no other children except Zhuo, and Zhuo had three children, among others Fang Tan was the water emperor, and Yuna would definitely follow her husband.
Then for sure Zeno will become the emperor of the Southern empire in the future. Surely that was not good news for Zeno, but it was not bad news either. The problem was, he was not too interested in becoming an emperor.
