Son of the Hero King

Chapter 510 CH 470: I WILL GO



Back to Lustburg, the council was still on as Sol discussed with the Dukes.

Later on, they would have to create a larger council to bring in more of the nobles as they had the right and duty to bring representatives.

Sol did not plan to let anyone sit out during this war. This would be the first step of his conquest and he needed his soldiers to become more experienced and form a cohesive group;

“Your majesty. While I do not want to question you, I cannot help but wonder. Was it truly wise to give up one of our hidden cards now?”

“Hidden card?”

Sol tilted his head in confusion at Tyr's question before finally understanding he was talking about Setsuna’s identity.

He shook his head, “I also thought it might be more useful to reveal it during the war itself. But the Supreme Daughter made me understand that from the moment Setsuna awakened, Lupus would already be aware.”

He shrugged. At the end of the day. No one stupid could become a king. It didn’t matter how ruthless and arrogant Lupus was. Sol would rather bet that he was too smart and prepared in consequence rather than that he was not smart enough and look down on him.

Underestimating your enemy was the best way to get destroyed.

“Rather than giving him the time to prepare. Better share this news now. At least he would only be able to cover the hole we created.”

Sol stopped speaking and looked at the map,

“I do not just want to beat Wratharis and take some lands. I want much more and this is why I am slowly moving my pieces.”

In his eyes, the world was starting to look like a giant chessboard and he was slowly becoming one of the big players.

“Rather than keeping Setsuna’s identity secret. What we really need to keep secret is the fact that Envilya is our new partner.”

—-And if Nefertiti did well, Southern Pride would be another ally, even if temporary. He would have to work on a way to subdue the Queen and the Supreme Daughter if it was necessary.

His mind moved to Southern Pride as he traced Nefertiti’s thread and he frowned a little. He had the impression that things in the elf's kingdoms would be rather complicated.

Sol tapped his finger quietly and the room fell silent. It was quite a wonder to see how everyone observed him awaiting his words. A far cry from what the earlier reunion had been in the past.

Sol thought of the different things that could actually stop him from conquering Southern Pride and while there was quite a few, the one he could names at the top of his head were,

The divine weapons of elves.

The Queen finally evolves to become a Demigod.

As many of the artwork in the capital actually were from her, it was no mistake to say that she had an eye everywhere.

“Good. I thought that your skill with the golden would work very well. I am happy I was right.”

‘Now what else do we need to speak about.’

[Your Highness, the supplies.]

“Ah...Thanks.”

He did not need to hide that Milia had spoken to him and never did he want to. He knew that he did not know everything so having an adviser close to him was normal.

“If I remember well, we should have started attacking the twilight fortress. How is the result so far?”

If they managed to get that place, it would make the supply line much more secure for the foreseeable future. It was a strategic location that was too important to let go.

Tyr grimaced a little, “I am sorry. It seems like my incompetent brother had not done the job he was given.”

Tyr was obviously talking about Gerald. This caused the mood of the room to become a little colder. But Sol did not show an upset expression.

“No need to walk on eggshells because of such a topic. I am not so fragile. I will throw my anger at you because of it.”

He sighed and stood up. “Since the convict Gerald is taking care of that front. We need someone else.”

He pointed to a place a little farther away, “The Bridge of Friendship.”

It was created by one of the kings of Lustburg who was one of the greatest leechers before Sol. A man who was very much Kemonomimi as they called them.

This bridge was another trade route. But it was also a symbol. “We should avoid causing any destruction to this bridge and in fact, we need to protect it.”

Sol could guess many things. This bridge was proof that Lustburg and Wratharis had once been friends.

It was the kind of thing no one cared about when it was present.

But the moment it is destroyed...Things would get ugly.

Sol did not want any great unresolved hatred to foster between the two countries. This would make things more difficult in the future.

But Lupus had no such compulsion. The more the beast men hated humanity the better it would be for him;

Lilin raised her hand, “I will go.”

Her eyes shone with excitement. This would be the first sortie of her knight order.

She couldn’t wait.
