Chapter 625

Bang! "Has the squad that went out with Ha'er not returned yet?"

At the coalition base, the Black Dragon Mountain camp, Saqisen's face was pale and cold; listening to the report below, he grew increasingly furious.

It had already been three days, and not even a shred of news had been sent back. He already understood that their squad was very likely not coming back.

This was normal. For the sake of Thunder Stones, the fighting between the various camps over these past few days—while not yet at the final stage—had still been quite intense every single day.

Even though they were the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial camp, the elites under their command had suffered heavy casualties. In fact, because they were the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial family and possessed the greatest strength, the other major camps had implicitly united to deal with them.

Over these past few days, the news coming from below was that their side's casualties were increasing, which was not a good thing.

Because of the Ninth Prince's overbearing nature from the start, the various camps were unhappy, so even though there would be fighting and competition between them, once they faced the Black Dragon Mountain camp, they would unite.

Originally, many of the team leaders in the Black Dragon Mountain camp were already very angry about this, and now, the elite squad of six hundred he had sent out had run into trouble again.

Saqisen was naturally even more furious.

For one, they hadn't completed the mission the Prince had entrusted to them; for another, that squad was the core elite force in his hands.

Losing such a group had a significant impact on his strength.

"Team Leader Saqisen, the Prince wants to see you."

Just then, the voice of the Ninth Prince's personal guard came from outside the tent.

Hearing the Prince's summons, Saqisen's expression changed once again.

However, he knew there was no escaping it, so he could only brace himself and head over.

"Oh! You say the six hundred elites you sent out have all gone silent?"

The Ninth Prince's expression did not change upon hearing Saqisen's words.

"Yes, Your Highness. They and Ha'er's group have likely met with misfortune," Saqisen said in a low voice, keeping his head bowed.

"Interesting!"

"Then who do you think did it?"

The Ninth Prince asked calmly.

"Your Highness, the most likely culprit is the Three Axe Mountain, or perhaps North Dragon City united with the Three Axe Mountain to plot against us."

Saqisen thought for a moment before voicing his thoughts.

As for Luo Feng and his group of eight, he simply didn't believe that they alone could wipe out his elite squad of six hundred, let alone without a single message being sent back.

Only those major camps had the power to wipe out his six hundred elites so silently.

"Three Axe Mountain and North Dragon City?"

The Ninth Prince fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then said calmly, "Send someone to bring that person from before to me."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Saqisen's face. He felt that the tragic death of his six hundred elites was caused by that guy from North Dragon City.

Before long, Saqisen dragged the man in and kicked him down in front of the Prince.

"Your Highness, I have brought this person."

"Ninth Prince, I didn't lie to you, and I didn't unite with the Three Axe Mountain people to plot against you, Your Highness!"

Luha kowtowed hurriedly to the Ninth Prince, tears and snot streaming down his face as he cried out in despair.

"Hmph! If it wasn't you, could it be someone else?"

"We listened to your words and sent six hundred people over, and as a result, they were all wiped out."

"Don't tell me you think those few people wiped out my six hundred elites?"

Hearing the man still quibbling, Saqisen's anger surged to his head, and he couldn't help but step forward and kick the guy fiercely several more times.

He used his full strength, and the latter didn't dare to resist at all, vomiting blood repeatedly from the kicks.

"Enough, Saqisen."

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince waved his hand.

"Tell me all the details you know."

The Ninth Prince's calm tone put even more pressure on Luha, making him feel even more terrified. He hadn't expected that his previous scheme of borrowing a knife to kill someone would end up causing the deaths of Saqisen's six hundred elites.

Looking at the other man's murderous gaze, he knew that if he couldn't convince the Ninth Prince, he probably wouldn't be walking out of this tent.

But if he really told the truth, he probably wouldn't be walking out of the tent either, so he could only go down this path to the end.

So, after thinking for a moment, he could only continue to quibble.

He exaggerated the strength of Su Fan's group and claimed they had exchanged for railguns, then used a sneak attack to wipe out Saqisen's six hundred elites in one fell swoop.

And believe it or not, this explanation had a grain of truth to it.

Railguns had indeed been exchanged for; the Ninth Prince and Saqisen knew this. Originally, he had intended to exchange for those three D6-grade railguns.

But he was told they had already been exchanged.

"Saqisen, what do you think?"

After a long silence, the atmosphere in the tent became increasingly serious.

"Your Highness, I think he is just quibbling."

In his heart, Saqisen actually believed this man's words a little, but once he thought that it was this guy's arrival that caused his six hundred elites to die, he didn't want to let him go no matter what.

"Hehe!"

The Ninth Prince didn't mind; he understood Saqisen's temper.

"Then go and investigate. If it really is those few people, that would be interesting. To be able to exchange for railguns with just a few people, they must not be simple, and they are even valued by Ming Yu."

"I'm starting to get interested in these people."

"Your Highness, I know what to do. I will go personally this time and bring them back."

Hearing this, Saqisen immediately understood the Ninth Prince's thoughts, so he cupped his fists and said with a serious face.

"Go! Do not disappoint me."

"As for this person, I'll leave him to you."

The Ninth Prince glanced at Luha and said calmly.

"Haha! Thank you, Your Highness." Saqisen grinned and laughed.

"Spare me, Your Highness, spare me!"

Hearing the Ninth Prince's order, Luha felt his heart turn cold and was even more panicked. Especially looking at Saqisen's murderous face, he felt despair and begged for mercy incessantly.

But Saqisen didn't give him a chance, dragging him out directly; even if he were to kill this person, it couldn't be inside the Prince's tent.

"Useless trash, do you think the Prince still cares?"

After dragging the guy away, Saqisen said with a murderous look.

"Lord Saqisen, don't kill me, don't kill me! I have information, I still have information!"

"Haha! I'm not interested in your information."

Saqisen didn't care at all. Dragging the other man along, he executed him amidst the man's desperate and resentful gaze.

"Bah! If it weren't for you, my six hundred elites wouldn't have been wiped out."

After finishing off the man, Saqisen looked into the distance again. Now that he had finished off this guy, there was still that group of people.

He had to kill that group as well, otherwise, it would be hard to soothe the hatred in his heart. His favorite nephew was among those six hundred elites, so he had to take revenge.
