Dragon King's Harem Chapter 205. Evelina's Request I
We spent at least the next hour listening to Evelina's explanation of The Orcs and Uraugh's plans. She told us everything, from Uraugh and Xinrax's first eting, what their agreent was, to what Uraugh's real plans were.
According to Evelina, rather than a collaboration, Uraugh actually only used The Minotaur to break through The Dragon Tribe's defenses with the agreent that the Orcs would do the sa to Dragon Cross City.
Uraugh knew, even with my absence, breaking through the Draconis Empire's defenses would not be easy. Their chance of defeat was high, not to ntion they needed extra troops to do so. So instead of sacrificing his soldiers, Uraugh preferred to sacrifice the Minotaurs. To make sure Xinrax accepted his offer, he was the one who ca up with the idea to build the tunnels and create diversions for months. That way everything sounded easy for Xinrax.
If the Minotaurs could penetrate the FireStone Fortress with that tunnel, then they could attack more easily. As for another attack plan, Xinrax and Uraugh never intended to attack another city. They targeted small towns and villages as resting places for their soldiers and refilling their supplies.
Their aim was the capital, so they were planning to focus their attacks on it. While Xinrax thought The Orcs would handle the capital with their soldiers, Uraugh thought of using The Minotaurs once again as their 'at shield' for the reason that it was their final battle that would determine their victory. Uraugh was sure that Xinrax would not be able to refuse him after all the effort and sacrifice. After The Minotaur weakened, Uraugh could finish Xinrax off easily and t The Minotaur's territory. It was hitting two birds with one stone.
As for how The Orcs survived, as I suspected, the burning sll of The Minotaur's flesh and the smoke alard them. So the Orcs used their Earth skills to break out of the tunnel to the surface. Since it was still quite far, they still had enough ti to escape. Still, so weak soldiers were left behind and died before they managed to escape. But it wasn't much and their number was insignificant.
Evelina also ntioned how the Orc nobles refused Uraugh's insane decision to attack Draconis. Even Princess Glasha and General Kul disapproved of it. But they had no other choice since his father's decision was absolute.
While Princess Glasha joined the war to prove herself for the throne and free her brother, Kul joined the war to protect his beloved crush, Princess Glasha, and free her from her father by marrying her. It was once side love, unrequited love that has tortured the general for a long ti. But Kul knew Glasha hated her father and was unhappy at the palace. That was why he thought if he married her, he could give her happiness.
In addition, Evelina also told many things, which were mostly related to The Orc's internal affair. But from the whole story, I concluded, Uraugh was the mastermind of all of this. He didn't hesitate to use other tribes and his confidants to get what he wanted.
Even after the tunnels were destroyed, Uraugh didn't back down. It was bad news, but rather than retreat and lead his soldiers to flee, he devised a new plan. However, instead of focusing on breaking through this Fortress, he lowered his objective to a more realistic one. He changed his target to kidnap Evelina.
Aside from making her his hostage, he aid to lure us into his territory and finish us off there. The Orc tribe terrain was suitable for the Earth Mana users like them, it would be easier for them to defeat the dragons than here.
To make it worse, so of the orc soldiers were young recruits who had just finished their military training. Just for this war, Uraugh forced young and healthy Orcs to join the military service and take them to this war against their will. But instead of treating them as real soldiers, he planned to use them as shields, decoys, or even diversions while his main force would attack the dragon tribe.
A long breath escaped my mouth once Evelina finished her explanation. I didn't expect Uraugh to be more cunning than I thought.
“To be honest, I'm speechless,” I said, shaking my head from side to side. A frown on my forehead. I understood if a king did not hesitate to sacrifice other tribes or betray other kings for their sake. But betraying his own people was a big cri for a king. I knew he was infatuated with Evelina, but I never thought he would sacrifice everything, literary everything, just to get her.
What she said was enough to explain the guilt that tornted her. Because she realized Uraugh was doing all this to get her.
"A king that sacrifices his people for his personal goals, this is the first ti I heard this," said Eir with mixed emotions. Traces of shock mingled with clear disbelief in his tone.
While General Guillotine showed a different reaction. He clenched his fists that were on the table and gritted his teeth in anger.
“This is unforgivable! A king who betrays his own people, his own soldiers, and treats the ones who sacrificed his life for his glory like trash, doesn't deserve to be a king!" he said in rage. He was a bit temperantal about everything related to loyalty and soldiers. Despite his hot-blooded personality, he was very appreciative of his subordinates and their loyalty.
"Be patient, General. We won't let him go. After everything he did to the dragon tribe, I will make sure he pays with his life,” I reassured. Only a king or a royal could beat another king. A general like him only had a small chance of defeating a strong king like Uraugh even though his Fire Mana Elent gave a lot of advantages to defeating that Orc King.
General Guillotine answered by bowing his head as a sign that he was grateful for my decision.
