Chapter 469: The Captive Wang Fei and the Prince!

Clearly, Gervas still could not truly grasp the importance of Wang Fei Princess Sukama to the Beast King.

He merely thought of her as a favored Wang Fei of the usual sort.

After all, as a transmigrator, how many emperors in past lives, whether in films, dramas, or historical records, could stage the beacon fire to deceive the feudal lords?

Moreover, this was a primitive tribal race like the Beast Clan; perhaps they had three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two concubines, and this was merely temporary favor.

Of course, although the amount was small, this was their guarantee of survival, so Gervas certainly would not neglect it.

Without further ado, he ordered Akali to continue monitoring the movements of that Prada and Wang Fei Princess Sukama, while he himself first joined up with the spearmen and light cavalry along with Lei Meng and the others.

Thus, more than ten minutes later, Gervas joined up with Lei Meng and the others.

After the main army regrouped, they rushed straight toward the royal tent area.

In fact, by this time, the beastmen had long been utterly routed.

Therefore, the group encountered no formidable resistance before breaking through to the surroundings of the royal tent.

This royal tent had originally been the Beast King's bedchamber, but now not a single person was in sight.

"My lord, where are those beastman Wang Fei?" Knight Mi Gen and the others circled the main tent, found no one at all, and immediately grew anxious.

"No rush; I have already sent Akali to help monitor them!"

As soon as Gervas finished speaking, Akali, who had long sensed the commotion, happened to arrive.

"My lord, that beastman leader and the beastman Wang Fei are in the servant tent area on the side!"

"Good, now take us there!"

Thus, Gervas and his party followed Akali and quickly arrived at a low tent area on the side of the royal tent.

In this area, there were still many panicked beast-tribe women.

These were obviously maids.

Therefore, as long as they did not actively attack the army, Gervas simply ignored them.

"My lord, they are in this tent!" Akali brought Gervas and the others to a nondescript beast-skin tent!

Gervas was straightforward; he had Lei Meng and the others surround the tent, then spoke: "Leader Prada, no need to hide; come out!"

After Gervas finished speaking and waited a moment, there was no response from inside the tent.

Gervas sneered, "Leader Prada, so you are not planning to come out? Very well, then I will simply set fire and burn you all!"

"Someone, bring the torches!"

Immediately, seven or eight subordinates holding torches stepped forward.

At that moment, there was finally movement inside the tent: "Human, I will come out now!"

Then, Prada walked out of the tent slowly with his hands raised.

Although his face bore resentment, he slowly placed his weapon on the ground.

"Excellent! Leader Prada, you have made a wise choice!"

Gervas smiled slightly and signaled for Lei Meng, Knight Mi Gen, and the others to step forward.

Lei Meng, Knight Mi Gen, and the others cautiously approached; only when they were close to Prada did they suddenly strike, subdue him, and begin binding him.

It was no wonder they were so cautious; this Prada was quite powerful, far stronger than Gervas, and even somewhat stronger than Lei Meng.

"Human, let us go! Whether you kill me or do otherwise is up to you; if I, Prada, so much as frown, I am not worthy to be a beastman warrior!"

Bound like a dumpling and shackled, Prada showed no fear despite being captured.

Instead, he wore the look of a hero marching to his death.

Of course, Gervas naturally understood why the other was acting this way.

"No, no, no! Leader Prada, there are still two people I have not caught, so how shall we proceed?"

Prada's expression instantly changed, but he quickly recovered, pretending: "Who? In this camp, I, Prada, am the greatest! Human noble, capturing me is enough!"

"Haha! Leader Prada, truly a loyal existence to your Beast King! The ones I seek are, of course, your Wang Fei Princess Sukama and the prince!"

With his cover exposed, Prada's body shuddered. "Gervas human, I sent Wang Fei Princess Sukama and the prince away long ago! They fled with those maids! Do not waste your efforts!"

"Is that so?" Gervas curled his lips; he now felt he had played enough. "Akali!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Akali quickly entered the beastman tent ahead.

Moments later, the sound of a cover being lifted came through, followed immediately by the screams of a female beastman and the crying of a child.

Prada could finally hold back no longer and began struggling wildly. "Human noble, stop! Whatever you want, take it out on me, Prada!"

"Leader Prada, do not worry; although your beastmen are countless in crime, we have not yet reached the point of being as insane as you, for a woman and a child."

"Therefore, we merely wish to borrow her and your beastman prince as a shield."

Soon, Wang Fei Princess Sukama and that beastman prince were brought out.

The woman trembled in fear, holding the child with her head bowed; she did not possess the warlike and unyielding nature of ordinary male beastmen.

"Human noble, if you dare harm Princess Sukama, Your Majesty the Beast King will absolutely not spare you!" Seeing this, Prada remained somewhat agitated.

Hearing this, Gervas sneered: "Prada, I said we humans are not like those insane beastmen of yours."

"Now, as long as you two obey quietly, I can guarantee the safety of the two of them!"

Hearing this, Prada finally suppressed his struggles. "Human noble, I hope you will keep your word; as long as Wang Fei Princess Sukama and the young prince are safe, I, Prada, will let you dispose of me as you wish."

"Eh!" Gervas was surprised and looked Prada up and down; he did not expect the other to have such a spirit of dedication.

Clatter! Clatter!

"My lord! Ten li west of the royal tent palace, a beastman army has been discovered, numbering at least thirty thousand, half of whom are Behemoth beastmen and half are beastman servant troops!"

Just then, a Magic Swift Eagle, dispatched only recently for guard duty, swooped down from the sky.

It turned out that Morar and those fellows had already arrived.

Counting the time, it was indeed about right!

All in all, it was fortunate that I had set up a trap earlier, which delayed Morale and the others by several hours.

Otherwise, today's situation would have truly been somewhat perilous.

"My lord, what do we need to do now?" Knight Mi Gen and the others grew tense at once upon hearing this!

"Everyone stay calm. We continue to act according to the original plan—keep a close watch on this orc Wang Fei and the prince, and wait for that Morale to arrive!"

"My lord, there's only this one Wang Fei inside the royal tent palace, and the number is so small. Could those beast-folk fellows possibly not have any scruples?" Knight Mi Gen, however, was slightly worried.

"It shouldn't come to that. Even if there's only one, she is still the Wang Fei, and besides, there's a newly born prince. I refuse to believe that Morale would dare disregard the life and death of this Princess Sukama Wang Fei and the prince just to wipe us out!"

Still, after a brief pause, to be cautious, Gervas added a sentence: "Of course, we must also prepare for the possibility that Morale disregards the consequences."

"When the time comes, all soldiers raise their guard. If Morale dares to launch an attack, we can also be ready for battle at the first moment!"

"Yes, my lord!" Knight Mi Gen and the others responded immediately.

What Gervas and Knight Mi Gen and the others did not know was that Prada, who had been bound into a rice dumpling nearby, had heard their lord-and-subject conversation, and her eyeballs were nearly popping out.

What does it mean to have some weight?

These fellows are risking immense danger to raid the royal tent palace—don't they know what Princess Sukama Wang Fei signifies? What the newly born prince signifies?

So, these fellows know nothing at all. What did they come to the royal tent palace to risk their lives for?
