Chapter 1840 The King's Surprising Decision

What Prince Enoch just said actually made a lot of sense, and thus many people present started discussing with each other.

"Uncle Enoch, are you implying that I deliberately did all of this? Do you think I would intentionally withdraw the soldiers from our defense line so that the human army can have a chance to invade our territory?" Zain asked, raising his eyebrows. He was the one who really wanted to suppress the entire human race, so he was offended when Enoch insinuated that he might be the one who helped them.

"Well, I did not say any of that. I was just stating a fact. You cannot refute that your actions were the reason why the army of the Shura Race stationed in our territories was not able to fend off the human army," Enoch responded, not backing down.

"Stop arguing. It won't do us any good. Besides, I am partly at fault since I allowed Zain to summon our army to the front line. None of us expected that those humans would dare attack our stronghold by taking advantage of the weakened defense line. However, although our defense line was slightly thinned, I am still confused as to how this human army became so powerful. How the hell could they easily take down one of the major fiefs and occupy their capital? Is there anyone who has a piece of information about the enemy commander?" the king asked with furrowed brows.

Most of the fief leaders and royal members also exchanged looks upon hearing this question. In fact, they were also wondering about this. However, none of them could answer since they did not know who the enemy leader was.

"Your Majesty, hasn't the Ghost Fie

hance that the royal bloodline will be cut off!"

For a while, the leaders of the fiefs and the royal members had engaged in serious conversations about what they just learned.

Meanwhile, after the king left, he eventually entered another hall. At the center of this place, a delicate figure covered by a luminous veil was floating in the air and was waiting for him.

"Madam, I already explained to them that the range of candidates for the successor this time will be expanded. I informed everything according to your instructions," the king respectfully said as he bowed towards the figure.

"I see. Thank you."

"But even I don't understand. Why do we need to do this?" the king asked in confusion. It seemed that the king was only told to announce the new method, and even he did not know the exact reason.

"I was disappointed that Zain failed to conquer the human race this time, and he was supposed to be the strongest candidate to become the next ruler! Therefore, I don't think we should limit the selection to just three candidates. I want to pick the most capable one to become the next ruler of the Shura Race even if he or she will come from outside the current royal family."

"I understand..." the king replied nervously.

"Remember that all of this is for the Shura Race and the whole continent. I hope that your personal opinion won't hinder what is best for everyone," the figure said, directing a warning towards the king.

"Yes, of course." After the king responded, the hall suddenly became quiet. Then, when he raised his head, the delicate figure had already disappeared.
