Chapter 664 Chaos in Deep Ocean (3)

In an imposing under-ocean palace that seemed to be shaped like a gigantic whale, giant hominid whales were sitting in a room around a table grimly, looking at the projection of a huge blood sphere surrounding imperial guards of the whale race.

"This is simply absurd!" An imposing Whale hominid wearing white robes and a white glowing runic marking around his neck slapped the table in a fury and a hint of fear, creating powerful ripples within the water.

This person was none other than one of the four pillars of the Mighty Whale Empire, the Blue Whale Duke, Ameer La Balaen, also the Emperor's third brother.

"This monstrosity! Just what in the ocean name is this thing!?" Another agitated female's voice rang from another whale, but the runic markings around her slender neck were glowing green-violet.

This slender yet fierce woman was White Whale Duke, Belle Van Balaen, and the Emperor's only sister.

"Boom!"

Everyone in the room suddenly shuddered when a powerful ripple overflowed from the towering giant sitting on the main chair. He was wearing an imperial robe and a jeweled crown on his bald head. Crimson glowing patterns were spread around his neck and hollow cheeks, and his black eyes were filled with terrifying murderous intent.

This was none other than the Emperor of the Mighty Whale Empire, Houston Kai Balaen!

When everyone's attention was on him, Houston finally opened his mouth, revealing sharp rows of saw-like teeth, and spoke in his husky voice, "I didn't summon you all here to make this matter more complex. If you don't have anything helpful, I would appreciate it if you kept your pathetic opinions to yourselves!"

No one dared speak anymore. Even the four dukes present in this room decided to keep their mouths shut since they all knew the Emperor was enraged.

Even though he was sure the spies of the other empires would've already gotten this news, this was another reason he needed to get rid of this monster quicker before their prestige took a critical hit. He also sealed the news of the imperial army's annihilation since he can't let the Battle Sharks get the wind of it, or they might start an unexpected attack.

That's why he summoned everyone here and took this matter seriously. Now it was the matter of pride and prestige, it was no longer about putting up front.

Alfonso thought for a moment before speaking, "I won't lie to His Majesty. I'm absolutely stumped after witnessing this battle, which was more like a slaughterhouse.

"But I think I found the purpose of this monster of doing all this killing. It seemed to be the Blood! As you all might've already known, the corpses we found in the killing sites were all dried up, and as you all can see, the sphere of blood he gathered after he was done killing, so the mystery behind those dry corpses was easily solved.

"Not only that, I've noticed a pattern. The first killing incident happened in the Sturgeon region, which is on the outer territory of the empire, and many such incidents took place in the same territory.

"This place has something in common; everyone there is repetitively weak, and only those subordinary races live there. Soon after, however, this monster turned its sight to the inner territory of the empire, where the members of our own race lived. He only hunted weaker ones and did not directly attack the dukedoms.

"What does this strange pattern imply? I think this monster is after blood, and the more he has it, the more powerful he becomes. He's extremely cunning, and he knows where to attack and when. This means that he knows our forces and might even know how we react.

"So, we're dealing with someone with a high intellect and terrifying ability to scheme. Now that he's opening hunting and drawing our attention, I think he's confident in hunting whatever we throw at him, or at least he's confident enough to flee.

"That's why if we send more men after it, it would be akin to feeding him more, and he wanted just that. So, we can't use the same number tactics again, or we'll only be making our enemy even more powerful." He gravely stated.

Houston's eyes narrowed dangerously as he completely agreed with Alfonso, "What do you suggest we should do then? After all, even if we don't send anyone after him, he'll just go after the commoners and cities. We can't evacuate others into the core territory since there is simply no space, and he'll continue to grow this way."

Alfonso thought for a moment before hesitantly replying, "Since this monster is intelligent, why don't we try to have a dialog with him? I'll personally go!"
