Dragon King's Harem Chapter 173. Firestone Fortress III

Upon my request, she smiled as best as she could, but that only created a weird smile on her face.

A frown appeared on my forehead. My expression clearly showed that I was not satisfied with that forced smile.

"Ah, I think I should kiss you again," I teased her.

Evelina bent her head in embarrassment.

“Your Majesty, this isn't Crimson Flame Palace,” she refused.

"Yes. But we're still in Draconis' territory," I replied. Which meant I could do whatever I wanted.

Without waiting for an answer, I grabbed her chin with my hand and approached to kiss her, but the clacking sound of the door stopped me. Spontaneously, I turned to the source of the sound. Likewise with Evelina.

Our sight quickly caught General Guillotine, Eir, and several tall soldiers stunned in front of the door. Their eyes were on us.

"Pardon me, did we interrupt something?" said Eir awkwardly.

I lowered my hand.

"Not really," I said confidently as if it didn't matter to me.

After I took her hand, I turned and walked toward my seat.

"Take a seat and explain to me what's going on," I demanded as I sat down at the end of the table, where the king usually sat. While Evelina sat beside me.

After answering with a bow, they sat down in their respective positions.

Without further ado, we spent the next 2 hours discussing what happened, the latest news, and the plan. Of course, after we activated the soundproof parchment and barrier to making sure no one was eavesdropping on our conversation.

As I predicted, there had been no major attacks so far. Only a few teams of Minotaurs tried to attack us. Some tried to sneak out through the mountain paths, but the Wyverns easily detected and killed them. They were usually new soldiers. The Minotaur used them to create a diversion.

Once a week, they would launch a large-scale attack, but it usually only lasted an hour or two before they retreated. Their goal, of course, was to catch the dragon tribe off guard. With continuous victories and the dragon's personality as a proud creature, sooner or later the dragon soldiers would start to underestimate their attacks. That was when they gave us an unexpected attack.

According to General Guillotine's assistants, the Minotaur's tunnels should be ready tomorrow at noon. Those tunnels would pass through our trap holes so we could launch our counterattacks from there. Meanwhile, the tunnel for the orcs had been completed a few days ago. The Orcs were supposed to enter that cave tomorrow morning and arrive here in the afternoon. Looked like they were planning to join the battle as soon as they arrived.

General Guillotine and his assistants also just received news about the enemies' new reinforcement which had just arrived yesterday. There were dozens of huge monsters and mounts.

The first one was Mamothath. A monster that looked like a giant mammoth. Although this monster ran slowly, its endurance and hard skin were deadly weapons. This was a harmless monster but it had tremendous power. They were suitable to break through fortresses.

The second was Crawbat. It was a half crawfish and bat monster the size of a helicopter. I bet they used them to counter our Wyverns and us.

In addition, they also brought several huge bird monsters which were commonly used for the sky battle. And Brainless Stone Giants to engage full attacks. In other words, they wouldn't only attack through the tunnels, but they would also attack through the sky and open fields. So I was sure tomorrow's battle would be a big-scale war.

As for the others, they had also confirmed that the Minotaur King and Orc King would join the war tomorrow. It could be seen from their preparation. According to the assistants, the Orcs and Minotaurs didn't know about my awakening yet. So I was sure my appearance would be a nice surprise for them.

Our tunnels were also ready. Those connected to the artificial small caves in front of the fortress. Those were usually used as an emergency hiding place for wounded soldiers. A few healers and potion supplies were usually there. Something suitable to cover our plan.

"We have to keep an eye on them. After all, their numbers are above us and this attack is coming from two tribes. This could turn bad at any time,” I warned. Even if I could use my ultimate skill, the other kings also had their ultimate skills. So the best plan was that I had to kill one of the kings before they met each other. In other words… I had to kill the Minotaur King first.

"We understand, Your Majesty," they replied.

Yet I did not respond to them or asked them to continue our discussion. I just furrowed my brows with my eyes fixed on tomorrow's battle topography. My brain tried to find a way to infiltrate it so I could kill the Minotaur King easily.

At the very least, I wanted to have a one-on-one fight with him. So what came to my mind was to kidnap him with my Portal skill and finish him off.

"Is something wrong, Your Majesty?" asked Eir when he realized I was deep in thought.

“I have a plan in my mind, but I don't know how to execute it,” I said. The problem was that I could only open my portal to places I had been to before. In this case, since the place was very specific, I couldn't open my portal to the orc's camp just like that,  it was tantamount to suicide.

“What is it, Your Majesty?” asked General Guillotine curiously.

“I don't want to give those two earth kings a chance. They will give us a hard time if they combine their powers, so I'm thinking of kidnapping The Minotaur King and killing him before the orc king arrives,” I stated.

I turned my glance at General Guillotine and his assistants.

“Do you have any ideas on how to infiltrate his camp?” Even though they had confirmed the Minotaur king's presence, the spy worms did not dare to get too close to his location. The Minotaur king had a strong Mana Earth element so he should be able to detect the worms easily.

“Do you want to send the assassins to kill the Minotaur king, Your Majesty?” the general made sure.

"Yes. Something like that. The difference is, the assassin is me,” I announced.
