190: Chapter 190 Charlie's Comeback

"Lord Commander, we can head back now. First Prince Spike is dead, and the Black Fortress is safe!" Huang Yichen said with a smile, looking at Wei He who had just walked back.

"The First Prince is dead, but there's still the Second Prince. The First Prince controlled military affairs, while the Second Prince controls the finances. Black Fortress is still not safe. With the First Prince dead, the Second Prince will definitely make a move. Who wouldn't want to inherit the throne!" Blant doused Huang Yichen's words with a bucket of cold water. After the recent events, the cold sweat on his forehead hadn't even dried, and he was still in a state of shock.

"You are the Sixth Prince, which means there are four other brothers ahead of you who will compete for the throne. Don't worry, I will definitely help you take the throne!" Wei He said with a face full of confidence as he looked at Blant's state.

As they were speaking, the sound of night hawk helicopter rotors spinning echoed in the sky. Several night hawk helicopters finally arrived at Wei He's side.

In the Lin Residence of Nankang Golden Valley, Wei He was lying comfortably on a large bed. Under Wei He's orders, the Chrono Legionnaires had returned to the Magic Empire. The Radiation Engineers and Tesla Troopers were left in the Magical Beast Empire by Wei He to wait for the Phantom Tanks, so they could return to the Black Fortress together.

As for Neme, with Tang Xiaowei's help, she finally arrived at Nanshan Town. However, after hearing the conditions for entering the Militia Training Center, she was unwilling to be controlled by Yuri. Therefore, Wei He had to find a nearby doctor to treat her slowly.

Regarding the Magic Empire defenders in Kongdi City, Wei He had Gerard issue an imperial edict to have them withdraw directly to the Magic Empire. He decided to let the Magical Beast Empire face the Demon Race army head-on and give Vesemir something to do. Thinking of this, the corners of Wei He's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

In the temple of the Black Fortress, Vesemir listened to his subordinates' reports. He learned that First Prince Spike had been missing for many days and that the Magic Empire defenders in Kongdi City had already left and were heading toward the Magic Empire.

The Demon Race army quickly occupied Kongdi City and began advancing toward other cities of the Magical Beast Empire.

"What on earth is going on? Where did Spike go? Find him! I want to see him if he's alive, or his body if he's dead!" Vesemir could never have imagined that Spike had been thrown into the void. On this continent, he would see neither Spike nor his corpse.

"Also, bring Second Prince Stanley and the people from the Military Affairs Bureau to me!" Vesemir continued to instruct his subordinates.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Two Tiger-headed Orcs, carrying sabers at their waists, hurriedly ran out of the hall.

A short moment later, a Wolf-Headed Beastman arrived in a carriage made of solid gold. He wore armor crafted from dragon scales, and hanging from his waist was a Seven-Star Treasure Saber inlaid with seven gems, its blade forged from Magic Crystals.

With confident strides, he slowly walked into the main hall. His gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on Vesemir. He said with a smile, "Father, I heard that Eldest Brother is missing. Do not worry, I will definitely find him!"

"Mm, good child. Spike must be found, but the most urgent matter right now is that the Magic Empire's reinforcements have withdrawn. We must now face the Demon Race's offensive alone. What are your plans?" Vesemir asked once the Military Affairs Bureau and Stanley had arrived in the hall.

"As the saying goes, food and fodder should precede the troops. Our most important task now is to gather provisions, then assemble the army and formulate a battle plan. The Demon Race army cannot be underestimated; we cannot afford to be careless!" Stanley thought for a while and spoke slowly with a frown.

"Good, let it be done. Recall all soldiers stationed abroad. This is a moment of life and death for the Magical Beast Empire. Everyone must share a common hatred and resist the Demon Race army together. Fine, all of you go down and prepare!" Vesemir said, looking somewhat exhausted.

Stanley nodded and turned to leave the hall. As soon as he sat in his carriage, he began to curse angrily, "Asking me to come discuss strategy is nothing more than wanting me to pay for the war. Hmph, Eldest Brother is missing, yet the position of Crown Prince still hasn't been given to me!"

The golden carriage drove toward the Second Prince's estate, with Stanley's grumbling and cursing echoing from within.

Inside Kongdi City, the Demon Race soldiers were plundering wealth on a large scale. They drove all the beastmen to the Demon Canyon, preparing to transform them all into members of the Demon Race.

Looking at everything before him, Charlie's heart was filled with endless greed. He knew he was one step closer to defeating Wei He. Although Wei He's army had extremely high combat power, as long as he transformed everyone on the entire continent into the Demon Race, Wei He would eventually be fighting against the entire world.

He stood at the spot where Carlos had been executed, looking at the bloodstains on the ground that could no longer be wiped away. His green pupils were full of sorrow.

"Ah, ah..." Behind Charlie came the miserable screams of two Demon Race soldiers. Dozens of Wolf-Headed Beastman defenders of the Magical Beast Empire had been resisting the Demon Race army to the death in the city since the Magic Empire withdrew. The moment the city fell, they went into hiding. Now, seeing that Charlie had only brought two guards to the square, they emerged, intending to capture the leader to stop the followers.

"Charlie, you were originally from the Magic Empire, but now you look like this. It's no wonder, though; you people from the Magic Empire are all treacherous and good for nothing. You left us behind to save your own lives. Hmph, truly ridiculous!" Dozens of Wolf-Headed Beastmen held steel sabers and surrounded Charlie. The lead Wolf-Headed Beastman spoke viciously, still harboring a grudge over the Magic Empire's withdrawal.

"Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you feel ashamed as a traitor and have nothing to say? Hahahaha! Speak, why don't you speak!" Seeing Charlie remain silent and only stare at him, the Wolf-Headed Beastman became even more infuriated. He brandished his steel saber in front of Charlie and roared loudly.

"Big brother, I think he's scared witless and can't speak. Let's just take him away, don't waste time. There are Demon Race soldiers everywhere; it's too unsafe!" another Wolf-Headed Beastman suggested to the leader while looking at the silent Charlie.

"Right, you're right. Take him away!" The Wolf-Headed Beastman leader waved his hand, and several Wolf-Headed Beastmen behind him escorted the silent Charlie forward.

One of the Wolf-Headed Beastmen escorting Charlie looked at the aquatic plants on Charlie's body and asked curiously, "What is this stuff? He's a general, why does he have such strange things hanging on him?"

"Just tear it off, don't delay our journey!" The Wolf-Headed Beastman leader impatiently reached out to grab the aquatic plants, trying to pull them off with force.

The moment his hand touched the aquatic plants, the Wolf-Headed Beastman leader felt something was wrong. His hand was actually firmly stuck to the plants. More importantly, there were many barbs on the plants that stung his hand painfully, and blood flowed down his wrist and into his clothes.
