"Apologies for my ignorance, I did not recognize you, Great Fox Deity." After speaking, Celia bowed three times.

Ahri held her chin and remembered the past.

Back when they were fighting against the barbarians of the Ruined Land, she happened to save a fox and taught her some skills. Unexpectedly, she had proclaimed herself as a fox deity.

"Now, do I have the right to boss you around?" Ahri said with a smile, seemingly wanting to have some fun with Celia.

Celia's heart skipped a beat. She lifted her head, looked Ahri in the eyes, and said, "I would never dare to disobey the orders of the Great Fox Deity. Whatever it may be, please command me."

"Call me 'master' and let me hear it," Ahri blinked her eyes.

Celia hesitated for a moment and said, "Master."

Ahri nodded in satisfaction, "Such an obedient child."

"This time, I'm here to help Galral ascend the throne as Your Majesty. We will start advising the military tonight, and you must cooperate," Ahri commanded.

Celia's heart tightened. She said, "Yes."

"You can go prepare now. I want to see results tonight," Ahri said.

Celia bowed and then turned to leave.

Late at night, with the moon hidden by clouds, darkness filled the sky and the earth.

Galral gathered all his forces and gathered outside the city.

"Report!"

A sharp-voiced beast soldier rushed into the palace and knelt down, gasping for breath, saying, "Something terrible has happened!"

The palace dancers retreated to the sides upon seeing the soldier's urgent report.

"What's the matter that has you so panicked?" Beast King Tinas lay on the dragon throne, with several well-dressed concubines massaging his shoulders.

"Yo... Your Majesty, Prince Galral has led a large army and arrived outside the city, saying..." The beast soldier hesitated and couldn't go on.

"What did my useless son say?" Tinas didn't care at all, not taking Galral's actions seriously.

The high priests had always been obedient to the ruler, and no matter how Galral made trouble, it wouldn't cause a big stir!

"Summon the High Priest!" Tinas showed no anger on his face, and even found the boring life a little more interesting.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The beast soldier bowed and retreated.

"Continue the music, continue the dance," Tinas waved his hand, clearly not caring about Galral's rebellion.

"Wisdom, Your Majesty!"

One of the concubines smiled flirtatiously and flattered him.

Another concubine, wanting to vie for favor, offered a peach from a fruit tray to Tinas's lips. "Your Majesty, have a peach."

The beast soldier hurriedly went to the High Priest's residence. "High Priest, His Majesty requests your presence."

"I understand." Celia looked at herself in the mirror, straightened her robe, and walked towards the palace.

At this moment, however, she was thinking about how she could make amends before the Great Fox Deity. This morning, she not only failed to recognize the Great Fox Deity but also challenged her. Truly, she was too overconfident.

After a while, Celia arrived at the palace, respectfully saluted Tinas, and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and prosperous."

"Rise, High Priest." Tinas lazily waved his hand, inviting Celia to be seated, and asked, "Galral is leading his troops to attack the palace. What is your opinion, High Priest?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my suggestion is to allow Galral to enter the city," Celia thought for a moment and said.

"Oh?" Tinas asked with interest, "Then, would you please explain your plan, High Priest?"

"Galral's goal is the throne. When he enters the palace, I will use a large-scale stunning magic to make him and his soldiers all faint. Then, it will be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar to capture Galral." Kriya laid out her plan openly.

"Very well, we will follow the words of the High Priest." Tainas nodded with satisfaction and raised his thumb towards Kriya. "Indeed, you are the most outstanding woman in our Orc Empire, both in intelligence and strength. You are among the best of our time."

"Your Majesty overpraises me," Kriya humbly replied.

...

On the other side, Ahri approached with slow and steady steps and casually asked, "Galral, is the army assembled and ready?"

"The army has already assembled and is prepared to enter the imperial city to begin the siege," Galral replied, casting a glance at the belated Ahri.

At this moment, Sui Liangfeng walked up from the side. "Ahri, where have you been? Why did you come so late?"

"Of course, I was helping you open the gates of Stormwind City! I wouldn't dare to neglect the orders of His Majesty," she explained before turning her gaze to Galral. "We can set off now. High Priest Kriya is already on our side. I reckon she must have fooled your foolish father in the grand hall."

Galral raised his arm and shouted, "Our target is Stormwind City."

"Understood." The soldiers marched forward with steady steps, fully determined, their dark faces filled with resolute determination in their shining eyes. They knew who they were fighting for. Although Emperor Tainas and the Ruined Land had signed a non-aggression treaty, what good was the treaty if the Divinity and Demon's Continent were completely defeated? It would be as useless as a piece of waste paper. Can the treaty guarantee a normal life for the next generation of young orcs, or will they become the slaves of the barbaric Ruined Land?

Galral led his soldiers into Stormwind City. The streets were eerily quiet, with no vendors or residents to be seen.

Many orc residents watched from behind closed windows, unable to understand what the Second Prince was planning to do.

"Is the Second Prince rebelling?" A fifteen-year-old orc child asked his mother.

"Hush!" His mother made a hushing gesture, signaling the child not to speak carelessly. Just this one sentence could potentially jeopardize their entire household.

High Priest Kriya sat calmly, displaying an air of self-assuredness.

Taikes looked at his son Galral as he walked into the palace, accompanied by tens of thousands of troops. In the face of such a situation, he remained calm and composed.

"Galral, you are being too arrogant. The throne cannot be seized simply by your words," Tainas stood up from his chair, towering over Galral while his facial muscles twitched slightly.

"Father, you are too naive. I have repeatedly warned you not to trust the Ruined Land. Once the Divinity and Demon's Continent is occupied, we will be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others," Galral's gaze was sharp, his tone unquestionable.

"Insolence! Who do you think you are to speak to me like this!" Tainas angrily shouted.

"High Priest, kill Galral. I don't want such a foolish son," Tainas commanded.

Kriya slowly stood up and walked towards Galral's back.

Tenas couldn't believe his eyes when he witnessed this scene, and soon anger surged up within him.

"Kleia! What are you doing?"

"The Second Prince has a point. We should consider the future of the Orc Empire," Kleia's tone was calm.

"How dare you openly defy my orders? You traitor! Do you want to die?!" Tenas roared, his voice echoing through the entire hall.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha..." Suddenly, Tenas burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with sarcasm, disdain, and even a hint of self-mockery.

He then drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at the people in the hall, saying, "None of you can kill me."

With these words, he turned the sword around and ruthlessly slashed at his own neck.
