Reincarnated with the Country System

Chapter 68 The Fall of the Mad King? (2)

Gus kept punching Caspian. The ground shook with each blow.

This created a hole in the ground, and dust began to fly around.

Although the intensity of Gus's anger was skyrocketing, he eventually calmed down a little and stopped his attacks. The storm of anger slowly began to subside from his massive body.

By then, the arena had become completely quiet. The audience was stunned, their eyes filled with surprise and concern.

{Is he alive?}

"I feel like I've done too much," he said to himself. "But he shouldn't have insulted me like that. He deserved it."

Just as Gus and most of the arena were thinking that Caspian might be dead, suddenly they all heard a burst of laughter.

Gus's eyes widened.

The laughter grew louder, and Caspian slowly stood up from the hole. He brushed the dust off his body and said, "Ah, Gus, thank you. My back was hurting a lot, but I feel better after your massage."

Caspian's words caused the entire arena to fall silent for a moment. The audience was stunned, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Gus's eyes widened, and he became a little scared. {Massage!? Back!?} These thoughts raced through his mind. He kept thinking, "How is he still standing? His bones are supposed to be crushed!"

"Gus, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Caspian let out a terrible laugh. A menacing aura began to emanate from his body, making the air around him feel heavier.

This aura was like a wave of invisible energy, causing panic among the audience.

Gus took a few steps back, feeling a bit scared.

Gus had lived a long life as a war troll and had never fought an opponent like Caspian. His experience and strength had led him through many battles, but today's fight was completely different.

Caspian leaned closer to Gus and said, "Thank you again. Defeating you increased my influence among the people. That's why I arranged our fight here so that people could witness my power."

Caspian then stood up and walked toward the centre, proudly posing as the winner. His aura still radiated around him, as if he were proving his strength and power.

Cheers and shouts erupted among the audience. Some people clapped in joy, while others were disappointed. Caspian's smile widened as he revelled in the joy of his victory.

Caspian then walked towards the exit door of the arena. He saw Nile standing there.

"Oi, Nile. Have you got any news?"

Nile bowed his head slightly. Read new chapters at empire

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. But the Black Fleet failed to capture your brother again. They reported that they found your brother's location near the Monstrous Sea. However, they almost captured your brother and the others when some flying monsters attacked there, who killed fifty C rank monsters of the Black Fleet in a matter of moments. So they fled from there."

"What kind of flying monster was it?" Caspian asked curiously.

"I don't know, Your Majesty. But they claimed that it was a new type of monster that was born in the Monstrous Sea." Nile then hesitated a little and said, "Your Majesty, they also claimed that your brother and his companions may have been killed by those monsters."

Caspian's face became worried and serious now.

"Tch! I don't care if they're alive or dead. The most important thing is that key he has. I want it at any cost." Caspian looked at Nile, his eyes serious. "Nile, send our navy and tell them to find that key at any cost," Caspian shouted.

Nile was a little scared, but he still tried to stay calm, "Your Majesty, but our forces are currently busy fighting in many places. Also, Your Majesty, our navy is preparing to attack Britannia. If we send them here into the Monstrous Sea, the plan to attack Britannia could be delayed for months or even years. Also, we must not forget that the Monstrous Sea is a dangerous place. There is also the legendary Sea Serpent that destroyed an entire fleet three hundred years ago. So if we send our ships into the Monstrous Sea, we will be damaged from all sides. This could greatly reduce our military power."

"So what should we do now? I need all four keys," Caspian said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, I think we should focus on the Britannia Kingdom now. We can send a small team to find the key or we can announce a reward for finding your brother's body now. That won't diminish the strength of our military."

Caspian fell silent at this. He understood the situation. Then he smiled again, "You are right, Nile. It is because of your wisdom that I appointed you as my chief minister. Go and announce a reward for finding my brother's body now!"
