Chapter 82 82: The Two Tacticians

One day later...

A powerful laughter echoed in the Royal Palace of the Sky Dynasty which was the only Dynasty that was openly hostile toward the Eternal Dynasty.

They had already gone to a few wars. In fact, even Ye Han received the title of Executioner in a war with the Sky Dynasty, where he killed many Generals of the Sky Dynasty, all alone.

The Sky Dynasty suffered multiple losses. However, they also inflicted some heavy losses for the Eternal Dynasty. Even though there was currently no war, the tension was still there.

Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the two Ancient Dynasties were going to enter a war.

"Your Majesty, did something good happen?" One of the Ministers in the Royal Court asked, after seeing the Emperor laugh so heartily.

"Something good did indeed happen!" The Sky Emperor commented, barely controlling his laughter. "We are going to war with the Eternal Dynasty! This time, we will destroy that place, taking over it!"

"The Eternal Dynasty?" Many of the Ministers felt somewhat hesitant.

The Eternal Dynasty was as strong as them, if not more. Going to war with them was not a good idea since none of the two could win a war like that.

However, there were also some Ministers who grew excited! Many amongst them had lost their loved ones in the last great war, and they blamed it on the Eternal Dynasty.

In fact, throughout the years, they had been waiting for an opportunity to have revenge!

In fact, they weren't the only ones who had lost someone dear to them. The Sky Emperor had also lost a son in that war, who was the Crown Prince at that time.

The enmity wasn't something that could be forgotten.

"Your Majesty, why this sudden decision?" A loyal Minister asked.

Until recently, the Sky Emperor didn't appear to be thinking about officially going to a war. So it was intriguing as to what suddenly changed.

The Sky Emperor smirked, "I received a message from the Qin Dynasty. They are willing to support us in this war, as long as we start it right away"

"The Qin Dynasty? Haven't they always been neutral?" A Great General of the Sky Dynasty asked, stunned. "If they really support us, then we'll definitely be able to destroy the Eternal Dynasty!"

"Exactly! This is a great opportunity to get rid of these bastards!" Another General commented. "The Qin Dynasty is known for their treasures and their Emperor, who's a genius Tactician!"

"Even if they don't send their armies to support us, even if they send some of their treasures, and plans made by their Emperor, we might be able to end the war in a short time without much losses!"

The Ministers were still apprehensive before. However, as soon as they heard that the Qin Dynasty was supporting them in this war, even they grew excited. This wasn't an opportunity that they could miss.

Instead of always worrying about being attacked by the Eternal Dynasty, it was better to take the lead when they had a chance. Moreover, they had all heard about the achievements of Qin Ye, which gave them even more confidence.

Almost everyone in the Royal Court was in support of this war.

****

On the other hand, inside the Celestial Palace, another scene was taking place.

Xu Shan had some for the fake negotiations. However, with the arrival of the Eternal Emperor, real negotiations started taking place!

Since Qin Ye supposedly tried to kill Xu Shan as well, the Eternal Emperor knew that he couldn't leave the matter as it was. If someone had happened to Xu Shan, he didn't even know how he would've handled the aftermath!

The Qin Dynasty allied with the Sky Dynasty. At the same time, the Eternal Dynasty allied with the Celestial Palace. The war was on the horizon yet the world was still unaware.

Not a single person knew that the coming great war that involved four great powers of the Celestial Realm was all caused by one person... The so-called Tyrant Prince who had no skulls and talents!

Standing in the back, Xu Shan heard all the negotiation with a calm expression on his face. However, he didn't forget to suggest some things whenever he thought that the plan was somewhat wrong.

The Celestial Palace Master was somewhat annoyed that Xu Shan kept intervening while the conversation was between two Heavenly Celestials. However, as he remembered that Xu Shan had spoken in support of him previously, he kept his calm.

"So you're saying we shouldn't attack the Qin Dynasty together? Why not? Wouldn't that be faster if we do?" the Celestial Palace Master asked.

"Do you think the Qin Dynasty wouldn't have known that? I think you're missing another piece of the puzzle that the Qin Dynasty can use," Xu Shan replied, placing his finger on a certain part of the map that was placed on the table.

"The Sky Dynasty?" Eternal Emperor and the Celestial Palace Master, both spoke at the same time.

"That's right. If I'm not wrong, the Sky Dynasty will be the most important piece in this puzzle. If we don't take it into consideration, it'll be a disaster."

Xu Shan didn't want there to be any mistakes this time. He didn't have much time after all. He had to leave the Celestial Realm in two weeks if he didn't want to be late in retrieving the Celestial Lotus, which was going to bloom soon!

That was the only reason why he was actively involved in making the plan.

The War between four great powers, all came down to the plans made by two youngsters. On one hand, it was the tactic of Xu Shan that took into consideration the skills of Qin Ye. On the other side, there were the plans of Qin Ye.

No one knew what storm these plans were going to bring to the Celestial Realm. Even Xu Shan wasn't sure if he could actually achieve the impossible.
