353 Anger
Vast Flame Kingdom.
Duke Lincoln’s Mansion.
In a magnificent courtyard.
Duke Lincoln, who was wearing a golden-trimmed robe, finished his breakfast.
!!
After he finished his breakfast, the minister who had been waiting for him for a long time walked up to him.
“Duke Lincoln, there’s news from the resource point. Their strength seems to be far beyond our expectations.”
Duke Lincoln looked at the minister beside him and snorted.
“Is it because they are too strong, or are you guys who have been hollowed out by wine and sex too useless?!”
“Count Ottle brought so many people to guard the resource point, but he didn’t even send back a single message before he was completely wiped out?”
“Until now, I still have no way to determine whether he is dead or alive, or what exactly happened back then!”
Hearing the anger in Duke Lincoln’s words, the minister quickly nodded and said, “Yes, sir! It’s just that the current situation is confusing. We…”
Duke Lincoln glanced at him, his eyes dark.
He had already planned it out. After occupying this resource point and using it, he would launch the thing he had planned for many years.
However, he did not expect such an accident to happen at the critical moment of the plan.
If he had known that the other party would mess up such a simple mission, he would have been able to do it.
No matter what Duke Lincoln said, he would never hand this mission over to Count Ottle.
Taking a deep breath, Duke Lincoln shook his head again and threw these messy thoughts out of his mind.
He knew very well that there was no point in thinking about these things now. It would only add to his worries.
Duke Lincoln raised his head and looked at the minister in front of him.
“How are the scouts doing over there?”
The minister smiled bitterly. “Duke Lincoln, the other party is more powerful than we thought.”
“Our scouts can’t even get within five kilometers of the resource point.”
“Or they lost contact with each other. There’s a high probability… It was a sacrifice. Or, they sensed the other party’s existence in advance and did not dare to go over at all!”
Hearing this, Duke Lincoln, who was already in a bad mood, became even angrier.
He picked up the teacup on the marble table and smashed it on the ground.
Crash!
The teacup shattered on the ground, and boiling hot tea flowed out.
When the servants around him saw this scene, they hurriedly knelt down in panic.
The minister was also shocked and knelt down in front of Duke Lincoln.
The entire place fell into a strange silence.
For a moment, only the sound of everyone’s quiet breathing could be heard.
After a while, Duke Lincoln’s voice rang out again. However, this time, his voice was laced with clear killing intent.
“Since that’s the case, let’s attack directly!”
“Since the other party is so defensive, it’s useless to continue sending more spies over. Let’s just attack!”
Hearing Duke Lincoln’s voice, the minister understood that he had made up his mind.
He immediately nodded, stood up, and said, “Duke Lincoln, I’ll send out your order now.”
Hearing this, Duke Lincoln nodded and suddenly said, “This time, I want to lead the army.”
The minister was stunned for a moment before he looked up at Duke Lincoln.
In the end, his gaze met Duke Lincoln’s oppressive gaze.
“Is there a problem?”
The minister was stunned for a moment, then he quickly shook his head. “No, no. I’ll release this news now.”
The minister knew that Duke Lincoln was in a fit of anger.
Regardless of whether he would really lead his troops to attack the other party in the end, he absolutely could not go against his decision at this moment.
Otherwise, he would definitely end up very, very miserable!
At the thought of this, a lingering fear rose in the minister’s heart.
Fortunately, he did not say anything just now.
Duke Lincoln said, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
When the minister heard this, he nodded slightly and quickly retreated.
Naturally, none of his subordinates dared to be careless with Duke Lincoln’s orders.
In just half a day, Duke Lincoln’s troops had been assembled.
However, Duke Lincoln knew what was important.
At the critical moment of his rebellion, it was best not to attract too much attention from the King of Vast Flame Kingdom.
Therefore, he could not bring too many troops with him.
At most, he would have 30,000 soldiers.
Anything more, and he would definitely not be able to hide it.
However, Duke Lincoln felt that 30,000 troops were more than enough.
After all, no matter how strong the other party was, it was only a resource point.
Could it be that his 30,000-man army could not take it down?
With this thought in mind, Duke Lincoln led his army and set off from his castle.
About a day later, the 30,000 troops arrived near the resource point.
At night, the army began to set up camp.
During this process, Duke Lincoln had a meeting with a few of his trusted aides in his tent.
“Then it’s decided. Tomorrow morning, we’ll launch an official attack on the resource point!”
After saying this in a calm voice, Duke Lincoln’s expression was determined, as if he was about to fight to the end.
His trusted aides nodded after hearing Duke Lincoln’s words.
After that, everyone bade farewell and returned to their rooms to rest.
Duke Lincoln looked at the map of the resource point for a while before lying down on his bed to rest.
However, in his half-awake state, he suddenly heard a battle cry that soared into the sky.
At first, Duke Lincoln thought that it was because he had not been on the battlefield for too long that he had some illusions and dreams.
However, gradually, he realized that something was wrong.
These shouts were too real!
It did not stop, and it was getting closer and closer to him!
Duke Lincoln suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
He did not bother to put on his clothes and walked straight to the entrance of his tent.
He opened it and saw that the originally quiet place not far from his camp had turned into a fiery red battlefield!
