Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 262

Meanwhile, at the Gehenna Border, Alyssa stared angrily down at two envoys from the Roaring Flame Empire in her own military camp. They were bruised all over; their clothes in a disarray. Her beautiful face twisted in seething anger.

"You lost the tributes to be sent out to the Timber Deity Empire for our secret alliance?" Alyssa said calmly. Yet her charming eyes betrayed her true emotion for they were full of fury, like two orbs of fire burned where her eyes were supposed to be.

The two envoys felt desperately hopeless. They understood that they could be sentenced to death for losing the tributes.

"Princess Alyssa," one of them pleaded. "We did not intend to lose the tributes. A four-star spirit-manipulated beast attacked us out of nowhere and took out one of us who carried the tributes. It is hard to tell at this point if he is still alive or not," he explained.

"Why did you fail to protect the tributes? Why wasn't someone with higher power sent to deliver the tributes? If a manipulator at the Supernal Stage was sent then this would not have happened!" Alyssa shouted with great annoyance. Among the tributes was a treasure map. The possibility of someone else finding that treasure map represented a huge loss and risk for both of their empires.

The two envoys kept their silence. The Roaring Flame Empire was but a medium country compared to Timber Deity Empire which was a powerful one. And thus, they were unable to send a manipulator at the Supernal Stage even if they wanted to. The alliance was made hastily given the circumstances. The Roaring Flame Empire took the situation into consideration and immediately sent three envoys above the Heavenly Stage to complete the task as soon as possible.

And a team made up of three spirit manipulators above the Heavenly Stage was more than capable to handle any situation that might arise at the Gehenna Border. But no one expected the situation where a four-star Demonic Devouring Boa ambushed the group. If it was an ordinary four-star spirit-manipulated beast, three spirit manipulators above the Heavenly Stage could get rid of it easily. But the beast that attacked them was Demonic Devouring Boa that was known for its ability to absorb spiritual power. Thus, they were defeated and lost the tributes.

"This talk is pointless! I will dispatch two squads of spirit manipulators. They will go to the location where you were attacked and then hunt down that four-star spirit-manipulated beast. We don't care if the third envoy died. We only want the tributes. If we fail to find the tributes, Timber Deity Empire will think twice about our alliance." Alyssa's brows knitted together as she stared at the envoys.

The envoys nodded with the same sad expression although the words gladdened them. It was a chance to be absolved for their failure. They would not be sentenced to die if the missing tributes were found.

Alyssa waved her hand, which signaled that the two envoys could leave. Then she convened with the Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire.

"What news of the movement of the Crimson Dragon Group?" Alyssa asked the Commanders present.

"The Crimson Dragon Group is constantly moving troops between military camps. They seem to be preparing for a war," one of the Commanders replied.

"The Crimson Dragon Group is normally placid and does not act rashly. The war is on schedule, however. And Timber Deity Empire already has plans in place. We can misdirect the Crimson Dragon Group in Holy Dragon Empire first!" Alyssa said.

"Are the shock troops ready?" Alyssa asked.
