The Giant Untad Snake tribe did not exactly have a good reputation in the kingdom.
They were usually a quiet bunch.
They were mostly specialized in sneaky operations for the kingdom.
After the Coup that brought them down from the glory of having the crown, they have been surpresed and picked on a lot.
However, one of the few reasons the king did not extinguish the fire of this tribe in full was because they were full of secrets.
They also possessed rich knowledge about the kingdom.
If another Kingdom were to take them in, they would beco a profound threat to the Vandora kingdom.
For this reason, their position as part of the Major tribes was not taken from them.
But then again, they were still surpresed.
The king of that ti was smart.
His plan was to keep them were he could see and reach them if there be need.
At the sa ti, slowly cutting their influence in the kingdom.
Going as far as to spread rumors about them in order to ruin their reputation.
At the mont, many did not like the Giant Untad Snake tribe.
Even those of them in the army were usually given a hard ti.
Elder Baldie's plan when he baited Chiron to visit the tribal area of the Giant Untad Snake tribe was to try and create an attachnt that Chiron was in support of the declining tribe.
of course, it also ant that if Chiron made bad decisions, it would affect the already terrible reputation of the tribe.
However, Chiron had just done sothing that was of praise and reward.
aning that the reputation of the Giant Untad Snake tribe was on the rise.
this was supposed to be a good thing.
However, Chief Wallow was trying to twist the entire thing.
He did not want the credit to be attributed to Chiron.
After all, it is a known fact that this was a silent competition for the crown between the two princes.
It was supposed to be an honorable challenge.
If what Chief Wallow was saying was true, then it ant that Chiron was cheating and that was without Honor.
Or better still, it ant that the Giant Untad Snake tribe was helping Chiron cheat.
That was even worse.
Giving support from the shadows was one thing, but helping Chiron defeat such an opponent just for the credit to their na was sothing everybody would look down on.
Elder Baldie understood what was going on.
The Swallow tribe shared border areas with the Giant Untad Snake tribe.
Although the Swallow tribe were known to be a calm collected people, that was actually on the surface.
It was what they wanted other people to believe.
This was just another ploy to pull them down further.
In the ga of politics, the battle of words, reputation, power, and influence could happen anywhere.
It was a fierce battle that could either sway hearts or destroy one's standing reputation with the people.
Elder Baldie nodded his head, "I really don't know what you are talking about. The new prince returned to us injured and without arms. While you were enjoying the comfort of your tea parties, my Giant Untad Snake tribe stepped forward to see how we could help him with the obvious problem."
This was a good defense. Elder Baldie had just removed himself and his clan from the equation.
Yet, he had also, attached himself to Chiron, but as a good Samaritan.
Hearing this, Chief Wallow could no longer point fingers. He had no choice but to hold his grievances back.
He turned and walked away.
The other Chiefs were also whispering to themselves about this incident.
No matter the thod Chiron used to kill the General, it had shown his capability.
It did not take long for such news to spread within the army camp and even beyound.
It was just one battle but it's significance was incredible.
Chiron's legend had began in the stories of poets.
The Army were supposed to move for the war front three days from that day, but because of Victor's anger, they were forced to leave that night.
...
anwhile, in a different place, country, and palace not so far away, the King read the report with a frown on his face.
This was king Ash, ruler of the Chanland Kingdom.
He was slightly built and looked to be middle aged but in truth, he was already in his eighties.
His cultivation was strong in the Bronze rank and it aided with his age.
He had just succeeded the throne from his father and had plans to expand his kingdom.
of course, this ant swallowing other kingdoms.
At the mont, he had his eyes on the rich Vandora kingdom and had been making plans for this long since when he was just a prince.
However, a particular integral plan in his sche had been foiled.
The Army he stationed in the Orc forest had been wiped out.
And it had been done by a child without arms.
This was many years of planning and strategizing.
It had gone straight into the drain.
"AHHHH!!!" he scread in his anger.
He jumped down and caught the ssenger that had brought the ssage by the neck.
He broke his neck with a hand, but was not satisfying enough to quench his anger.
He tore open the ssanger's chest with his bare hands.
Blood and innards splashed everywhere. It was on his face, his robes, and so even stained the fear shaken servants around.
This was not the first ti their king was doing sothing like this.
He had once mutilated a maid in a similar manner, just because she interrupted his sleep to bring him food.
Such was the way in the palace. Even his won feared him. After all, King Ash had one of the scariest of sins.
His was the sin of Wrath. No one knew when he would flair up, or what would flair him up. They all lived in daily fear that they would beco the next he would send to the after life.
King Ash dug through the body of the unfortunate fellow like a dog trying to bury a bone.
He continued for a while, until the ssanger's at was all over the room like the room of a disobedient kid hunting for it's mother's attention.
He breathed heavily when he was done. He looked at the ss on the ground and sighed.
"tell his family that he died in combat. send them sothing!" he ordered and one of the soldiers saluted, taking the opportunity to run out of the room.
The king stood up and went back to his throne, sitting on it with his body still covered in the ssanger's blood.
He sighed lowly. "I did it again."
So one suddenly materialized from the wall behind him, "yes you did!"
