Chapter 436: Ren Shuang Displaying His Tactical Talent

The soldiers also heard the conversation between the three and they could not help but exclaim in shock. 

"What?! So this guy is actually Prince Artaurus who was said to be bedridden due to a serious illness! No wonder he has a unique temperament!" 

"Good news! Prince Artaurus has recovered from his illness!" 

Soon, all the soldiers cheered when they heard this news. According to the rumors, the eldest son of the emperor had the highest talent among his children, but he regretfully fell ill and was bedridden for thousands of years. Now that he had recovered, everyone was in a jubilant mood.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Cornelia, startling Balmond and Artaurus. However, when Cornelia saw this guy, she merely smiled and said. "Don't be alarmed. This person is an expert sent by Wine Master Jiu Shen to help me. He is acting as my advisor and he will also be leading our army. He is Lord Ren Shuang." 

Balmond nodded his head calmly as he looked at the cloaked Ren Shuang. He sensed that this person was only a peak stage Origin G.o.d Realm expert, but he somehow felt threatened when his eyes met the human's pair of emotionless eyes! 

Artaurus stared at Ren Shuang deeply as he greeted respectfully. "h.e.l.lo, Lord Ren Shuang." 

He couldn't see through this guy's cultivation! That means he was at least an Origin G.o.d Realm expert! 

Meanwhile, Ren Shuang ignored the two men as he went closer to Cornelia and whispered. "I discovered an army in a mountain near Morlon City. From how they dressed and from the crests on their clothes, they should be from the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family." 

Hearing this, Cornelia's expression turned grave. 

"It looks like they're prepared..." She scoffed with a dark look on her face. 

Balmond and Artaurus also became solemn when they heard this. From the looks of it, those guys might be attacking soon!

"They might be planning to attack during your enthronement ceremony, but you shouldn't be too worried since Brother Yue Bo and I have already made arrangements in case that happens." Balmond sneered. 

Cornelia nodded her head at his words. 

"I also saw two more armies among them. One of them is from the Poison Valley, while the other is an army of undead. In total, their whole army is approximately two hundred thousand." Ren Shuang suddenly said and his words immediately changed the atmosphere. 

Balmond furrowed his eyebrows as a solemn look covered his face. "How did they get the support of Poison Valley? And that undead army, where did they come from?" 

Ren Shuang was silent for a moment before he spoke. "After observing them closely, I heard some of their high-ranking soldiers say that those undead soldiers were from the Necromancer Emperor." 

"Necromancer Emperor?!" Balmond and Cornelia were stunned upon hearing this name. Artaurus could only listen since he had no idea who that is. 

"That old codger is actually supporting them? This might be troublesome. If that old man is with them, our army might collapse!" Balmond gritted his teeth. 

Cornelia also felt slightly anxious. She had heard a lot about the Necromancer Emperor. Even if she hadn't met the old man in person, she knew that this guy was already famous in the whole Crimson Fiend Continent! 

"There is nothing to fear. I observed the undead army for a night, but I didn't notice the presence of the Necromancer Emperor. He must have only sent a part of his undead army to support the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family. However, there is a strange creature with a strong aura among the undead army. I didn't dare try to detect this creature's cultivation since it might discover my presence, but I'm sure that it is at least a late stage Void G.o.d Realm." Ren Shuang muttered with a calm voice, but his words only made the three members of the Bloodfallen Family fall into silence.

Late stage Void G.o.d Realm! What kind of concept was that? That kind of power has already reached the peak among experts! Even Balmond had just risen to this level after Jiu Shen edited his cultivation technique! 

"Brother Ren, do you have suggestions?" Balmond stared at Ren Shuang with a look of respect. Heck! This man was able to get such valuable information without getting detected! This was a testament to his ability! 

Ren Shuang took out a piece of beast skin that had a map drawn in it. Balmond, Artaurus, and Cornelia were surprised when they realized that it was a map of the imperial palace. The map was so detailed that even the map of the Bloodfallen Family paled in comparison.

"This is where Cornelia will be crowned." Ren Shuang pointed to a location on the map. He then pointed to another few locations and continued.

"I suggest that we should station two Nascent G.o.d Realm experts in each of these spots. This is where they would most likely try to attack based on the structure of the palace. Also, our army should be here..." Ren Shuang began to tell them about his suggestion, and the more he continued the more they became stunned. They finally realized that this man wasn't just a skilled scout. He was also a very terrifying tactician! Even Yue Bo's plan looked like a work of a child in comparison! 

"I will act as an imperial guard and stand on this spot. This is the most ideal place for me so that I can immediately protect Cornelia in case an expert would manage to break past the formation." Ren Shuang then became silent after telling them his plan. 

Balmond sighed with admiration. "We will follow your plan, Brother Ren. Cornelia, make sure that you choose our most trusted soldiers on those key spots. Artaurus, go and familiarize yourself with the army while you recuperate."

"Yes, Emperor Father!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" 

The two then left, leaving Balmond and Ren Shuang at the scene. 

Ren Shuang soon turned around and followed the direction of Cornelia. He was tasked by Jiu Shen to protect this succubus, so he wouldn't allow anyone to kill her. 

In the end, Balmond could only stare as this mysterious man disappeared. "All of Wine Master Jiu Shen's subordinates are shrouded in mystery...."
