The Medallion

"Briggs, the Blood Fief was taken back by the Ghost Fief. According to tradition, you just can't demand Gilbert to return it to you. You can have it back by using force. However, you have to understand that now is not the right time for that. The most important thing is to confirm that the army of the human race has already withdrawn from the border of the Shura Race. We have to prevent them from mysteriously appearing again while we are unprepared. We cannot let what happened to the Blood Fief be repeated," Princess Layla said, pounding some logic into Briggs.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't need to worry about it. If the human army dares to invade the Shura Race again, I promise to annihilate all of them. They shall pay the price of killing my father!" Briggs answered, fueled with hatred.

"Moreover, didn't you hear the king say that the Ghostly Demon Land will open in ten days? He even relaxed the requirements to be his successor. It means that any powerful warrior from the Shura Race will have the chance to participate in the challenges and even become the next ruler. The matter regarding the Blood Fief can wait, but this rare opportunity won't. Don't you agree?" Layla dangled a more enticing bait to divert Briggs' attention.

Thinking about it, Briggs nodded and thought that the princess made a lot of sense.

"We will focus on going to the Ghostly Demon Land to fight for the position of the Shura Race's ruler. After that, you can try to take the Blood Fief back. I suggest that everyone return to their respective territories for now so that we can get ready for the Ghostly Demon Land," Layla urged.

"I agree. Just wait and see, Gilbert! I will get the Blood Fief back, so you better be ready for it!" After giving Gilbert a fierce warning, Briggs stared at him one last time before leaving.

At the same time, Zain also shot a glance at Layla but said nothing. Eventually, he also left with the leader of the Primitive Fief.

Soon enough, most of the leaders and ministers left, and only Gilbert, Flora, and Layla were left behind.

is going on this time, Gilbert? Don't tell me that you're really behind the invasion of the Blood Fief?" Although the princess was not really sure what happened, she also could not help but speculate that the Ghost Fief had something to do with the fall of the Blood Fief. After all, this kind of sneak attack must have been prepared in advance, and someone from the inside of the Shura Race must have helped the human army to pull it off.

want to be rude, but it would be better if you didn't ask too much. Rest assured, I don't plan to occupy the Blood Fief for a long time. But for the time being, controlling the Blood Fief is the most advantageous step for the alliance of the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief." Of course, Gilbert could not tell Layla about his cooperation with the human army. After all, as a member of the Shura Race, what

Gilbert and Flora also left the

if she trusts in Odin's plan, then I have no choice but to also have faith in him. In the near future, she will inherit my position as the leader of the Flower Fief. Therefore, I think that it might be a good experience for her to stay with him more. But it doesn't erase the fact

I had lots of doubts about him before. He is too smart and cunning for his age that most times, I can't help but be suspicious of his intentions. However, later on, I realized that even a person like me, who

hear you. I am not worried about Odin's abilities at all. However, his way of doing things is quite bothersome. As you said, he seems to be too experienced. It feels like he has already faced countless bloody battles." Flora sighed while

Let us hope so. Anyway, I am heading back to the Flower Fief now. Please continue taking good care of Valeria for me. Also, let me thank
