In just one day, the southern region of the Mulan kingdom became quiet. Every bandit group and crooked n.o.bles within the southern region became paralyzed in fear for a long time, especially those who have allied themselves with Klaus, the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas empire. All of them got the secret report and details about the battle at the valley of death.

The Moutain tigers bandit group was one of the five most powerful group of bandits in the southern region of the Mulan kingdom. They have ruled over the valley of death for the past five years. Yet, in a single day, their very existence has been completely wiped out from the face of the earth. Their army that consisted of more than a thousand men all fell. The majority of them were killed instantly without the chance to resist.

Even Antony, the great leader of the Mountain Tigers, was nailed to the ground by a huge long spear. His eyes were wide open and he even didn"t realize what kind of monster he had provoked, even in death.

Blood flowed through the ruins and filled valley of death. Even after several days, the stench of blood and burned corpses remained. The valley of death has truly and literally become a valley of death after this battle as it was fragmented with blood and corpses everywhere.

After the Mountain tigers group was annihilated, all the merchants in the Mulan Kingdom and the people who have suffered from the hands of the mountain tigers bandits group were celebrating because the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire has replaced them and released their pent-up anger and desire which they have been holding in for many years. The name of the 4th imperial prince became a spell that echoed across the entire Mulan kingdom. It rendered many bandits group and n.o.bles who had betrayed the Mulan kingdom breathless.

Sky Suppression City

Sky Suppression City could be considered as one of the oldest city in the Nicholas empire. It was created not long after the Nicholas empire was founded. it used to be known as Corpse city because it was very chaotic and filled with all kinds of criminals and bandits, but after it was given to Klaus, the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas empire, he changed its name into Sky Suppression City.

In less than a month, he cleared out the whole city from all the criminals and bandits. Within the span of two years, he has turned the most insecure and impoverished city into the most prosperous and secure city throughout the whole Nicholas Empire.

Under his rule, the Sky Suppression city has become very bustling and vibrant. Countless people living in Sky Suppression City came from all corners of the Egul Continent.

After the 3rd imperial prince has taken over the city, it had become one of the largest city in the Nicholas empire due to its expansion on the southern border of the Mulan kingdom. The city was always crowded to the point where it was also known as the city that never sleeps.

Entering the city, one would immediately be met with lively commotions of the street vendors. In front of the eyes were countless towering pavilions and grand avenues.

At the center of the city, there was a huge and tall majestic palace, high upon a small hill, overlooking the entire city. The palace was several tens of meters high and had an architecture like no other in the city. This palace was known as the Sky Suppression Palace and also the residence of Klaus, the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas Empire.

Currently, within the Sky Suppression hall which was an important location within the palace as all the major decisions were discussed and made there, the nine commanders of the Red Storm legion were sitting around a round table along with the 3rd imperial prince.

Powerful battle qi and magic power exuded from their bodies. Between them, there were three women while the others were men. They had all reached the 6th rank warrior or mage. Two of them have even stepped into the 7th rank.

Despite their powerful strength, they all had a look of reverence on their faces while they were looking at the youth in front of them. Unlike them, the chair the youth was sitting on was carved of a fine oak, crested with several jewels and decorative metals forming an elegant coat of arms. Each of the seats had a number correspondent to the rank of the nine commanders except for his.

Even though the youth"s stature was not huge, his majestic presence was no different from a golden mountain. The youth was adorned with a dragon robe and an imperial crown. His domineering aura filled the entire room. This youth was none other than Klaus, the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas Empire.

" I guess you all read the report, Chris along with all of his men have been killed by the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire. To make matter worst, that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d has raided the lair of the mountain tigers bandits group and took all the fifty magic stones along with the weapons that we have hidden over there." Klaus said with his voice filled with anger and hatred.

Te 4th imperial prince has become a thorn in his heart and unless he was killed, he would be a huge obstacle to his plan. Killing Chris along with the five hundred men wasn"t really a big deal as he had more than five thousand men under his command, plus the nine commanders who were way more powerful than Chris. However, the lost of the fifty magic stone was a huge blow to him.

Magic stones were very expensive and rare. Each one of them cost at least 100 000 platinum coins. Even though he was a prince, this was still a huge sum of money. It was because of its price and rarety that there weren"t too many magic weapons or artifacts within the Egul continent.

He was planning to use these magic stones to make many powerful magic weapons or artifacts to further boost the strength of his troops, yet before he could even get them, they were s.n.a.t.c.hed away by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Aside from killing the 4th imperial prince, Chris was tasked to bring back the magic stones to Sky Suppression City, but that weakling ended up dying and even led the 4th imperial prince into the lair of the Moutain tigers bandits group where the magic stones were hidden until they were to be transported to Sky Suppression City.

" 3rd imperial prince your Highness, allow me to go retrieve the magic stones and get rid that b.a.s.t.a.r.d in the process. From the report that we have received, It seemed like he"s really strong and we can"t expect the little rats in the southern region to catch a deadly snake such as the 4th imperial prince " Asked the middle-aged man that was sitting next to Klaus with a sinister look on his face. He was the 1st commander of the Red Storm Legion and also the strongest one.

" Hehehehe, don"t worry about the magic stones and the 4th imperial prince. I got some intel that some old monster was tailing him from the time he left the imperial capital until now. The southern region will be his burial ground because as soon he made it there, that old monster would start making his move. Even if he grows wings, he won"t be able to escape death this time."

" Are you talking about the people from the Eye." Asked the 1st commander with a panic-stricken look on his face. Even though he was a 7th rank warrior and could be considered as an expert in the Egul Continent, he would never provoke the people from that organization. These people were synonyms to terror and death throughout the continent. They were very mysterious and n.o.body knew how many people they had in their organization or how strong they truly were.

" Yeah, it seemed like he has something they want. Once they have killed him, I"ll just have to call in for a favor and I will get the magic stones."

" Currently, we should wait and let these people take care of him for us. Furthermore, all the bandits and criminals that were living in the Sky Suppression city before I took over, I have long sent all of them In the southern region of the Mulan kingdom. The 4th imperial prince will have his hands full."

After Klaus had cleared out the bandits and criminals from Sky Suppression city after he had taken over, he did not kill them but employed them and sent all of them to the Southern region of the Mulan kingdom where they created their own gangs and bandits group which terrorized the whole southern region under his command.

" Marcus, I want you to go to the southern region and organize all the bandits" group into a single unit, and turn the southern region into a living h.e.l.l."

" You don"t have to attack the 4th imperial prince because I don"t know what the Eye want from him. I just want you to terrorize the whole southern region." Klaus said with a devilish smile on his face.

If he couldn"t kill the 4th imperial prince then he would kill all the people he was supposed to protect in front of his eyes. He wanted to make him suffer and feel powerless. He wanted him to fell into despair while watching his people died one by one, town and cities burnt to ashes.

Listening to the 3rd imperial prince, all of the nine commanders nodded in agreement, and eventually left as the meeting had come to an end.
