“Mhm.”
James nodded, “All our intelligence reports point toward a single man.”
“Who?”
Henry and Levi were perplexed.
“Commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army, the Emperor.” James uttered grimly.
“What?”
They exclaimed in shock.
Stunned, Henry asked, “The Emperor? How can that be? He’s a Solean. Are you saying he planned all this just to get you killed?”
“I’m afraid it’s not as simple as that.” James wore a solemn expression.
He still could not figure out what the Emperor was up to.
He only knew that he was on the move.
Back then, during the incident at Mt. Thunder Pass, he was forced to head into a trap after Henry had been kidnapped and fought against the elite fighters from the twenty-eight nations. The mastermind behind this incident was the Doctor King.
The Doctor King, a.k.a, Jonathan Harris was one of the Emperor’s men.
Ronald's findings revealed that Jonathan and the others were secretly constructing a research laboratory in Cansington. The laboratory was heavily guarded by troops, which were suspected to be part of the Red Flame army.
Henry asked, “What should we do then?”
James was deep in thought.
He believed that the Emperor had a grand scheme and now, James’ existence had become inconvenient.
However, the Emperor could not kill him while he was within the borders of Sol.
To get rid of him, the Emperor went to great lengths by devising a grand plot. This was all for the sake of killing him on the battlefield. As long as the King of Sol did not pursue matters further, he would not be suspected of the Black Dragon’s demise.
After a brief moment, James spoke, “Now that we know the identity of the mastermind, it’s made things easier for us. The objective of the Emperor is to kill me. The allied forces of the twenty-eight nations are led by their generals. Once we kill them all, the enemy forces will be leaderless. Naturally, they would choose to retreat. That way, we get to resolve the current crisis with as few casualties as possible.”
“Kill the generals of the twenty-eight nations?”
Wearing a grim expression, Levi said, “This is no easy feat. The generals are currently in Southern Plains City, where a three-million-army is garrisoned. Not even a fly could get in. How are we supposed to kill them?”
James said nonchalantly, “We’ll think of a way eventually if put our brains together. Henry, your injuries are not completely healed yet. You should stay behind and heal up. Levi, I’ll leave you in charge of Lavender Town.”
