Chapter 848 - 849 – Who is the enemy? – Part 7.

"So, wait… You are telling me, that not only that conspiracy may had been going on for several years now." – said the dragon queen of the Wo'won clan.

"But they had been active outside of empire."

"Even fucking planning the mad war that had happened in your continent called Wikan."

"You are saying that they may had somewhat manipulated the church who was behind the mad war, aiming for them to summon a child of the heavenly dragon while also trying to destroy whole continent of Wikan."

"They failed at the destroying whole continent with their sabotage, but they managed to get one of the things they needed."

"Getting the child of the heavenly dragon."

"…"

"And the main culprit could be the very same old and dying king of the Kai'ku'dan clan?" – asked the dragon queen as she and the dragon king of the Wumi clan looked at the communication tool.

"Yes…" – replied Oron via the communication tool.

"…"

"Fuck." – said the dragon queen as she held her head.

"We honestly didn't wanted to get involved in the dragon empire personal business…But now that we had found out that we are also targeted, we have no choice to be involved personally."

"However… There is a problem."

"Our empire is willing to give military support to the dragon empire in order to deal with the traitors."

"But… If I'm guessing this correctly, they have probably some means prepared to keep us occupied or stop our reinforcement."

"It could be also a reason why the enemy isn't making their move now."

"…"

"So their plans are delayed because they are preparing a countermeasure to deal with you if you were to intervein?" – asked the dragon king.

"Unfortunately, yes." – replied Oron.

"The enemy played both of our empires like fools several times and only now, when they plans maybe slowly reaching the completion, we only then found out about the existence of the conspiracy."

"Honestly speaking? We are fucked."

"We still don't even know if the king or the fourth prince are the traitors, maybe more? Maybe the entire clan had betrayed the empire?"

"There is also reasoning behind the betrayal."

"I don't fucking see any!"

"True, it doesn't make sense." – said dragon king of Wumi clan.

"The Kai'ku'dan clan remained on the very top of the dragon empire ever since it was founded!"

"And the dragon king of that clan was just and what not!"

"There is no way he could end up being the traitor!"

"Right?!" – sad the dragon king as he turned towards the dragon queen.

"…"

"?"

"Em… Why are you…" – the dragon queen did not replied to the dragon king, which filled them draconic being with anxiety.

"…"

*Inhale*

*Exhale*

"Well… Think about it other way around." – said the dragon queen as she tried remain calm.

"Even though this guy will soon die of an old age."

"He is still most powerful dragon in the whole empire."

"Do you really think that anybody could even brainwash him now? Even in his state?" – said the dragon queen as both the dragon king and Oron who heard those words were instantly filled with dread.

"The forth son is definitely not the main culprit… No."

"There can be only one main culprit."

"The dragon king of the Kai'ku'dan clan is the main culprit behind the whole thing."

"…"

(Fuck.) – thought scared Oron.

(I really wished to say that there was a possibility that the fourth prince or somebody else could be brainwashing the dragon king.)

(But… This is the worst possible option.)

(If the dragon kind is truly the culprit than the entire Kai'ku'dan clan could be freaking traitors.)

"…"

"Tell me… You told about succession war…." – said Oron as he spoke up after a long pause.

"Are there a chance that the predicted succession war was a cover up in order to plant red herring? Or is there a chance that the dragon king is working alone and he could be aiming to betray his own clan?"

"…"

"I have no clue." – said the dragon queen as she bit on her nail.

"I really don't."

"But… If we take everything that you told right now and add everything else, we have on our end…Fuck."

"There is still no other answer beside the dragon king of Kai'ku'dan clan being the traitor."

"Not only that, we don't know what he is aiming for."

"…What about the artifact though?" – said the dragon king.

"if he uses the fallen angel dragon's blood to activate it, we will become what? Demi-fallen angel dragons?"

"…Possible… If the artifact was modified to work that way… But all the research that had been done on the artifact was done by the hands of Kai'ku'dan clan… And there is maybe a good chance that they may had given us false information about the artifact."

"In order words, there is a good chance that the artifact may not be something like corrupted device."

"!"

(Shit! She is right! Why I didn't considered this possibility!) – thought extremely alarmed Oron as he and his team alongside the dragon rulers had all somewhat same reaction.

"…"

"What is your plan?" – asked the dragon queen.

"…"

"It is… This." – said Oron as he explained his plan about calling forth a council meeting between all the dragon clans, giving Oron and his team time to investigate the Kai'ku'dan clan main castle.

"…"

"Your plan does make sense." – said the dragon queen.

"However, I will give my plan suggestion."

"I think we should just out right attack Kai'ku'dan clan."

"!?" – everybody who heard that were beyond shocked.

"W-wait! The fuck did you said woman!?" – shouted the dragon king.

"Do you realize what you are proposing!?"

"True! We now know that the Kai'ku'dan clan maybe the culprits! But we still don't have key evidence here!"

"DON'T YOU FUCKING THNK I DIDN'T REALIZED THAT?!" – shouted the dragon queen as she snaped in the fit of rage, completely catching the dragon king off guard as he wasn't expecting that outburst.

"We don't know how much time we have!"

"Not only that, with that many schemes involved, there is a good chance that they may be preparing something else!"

"We need to strike NOW!"

"I don't care what other clans will think!"

"If we hesitate now! Then our empire could end up possible getting destroyed."

"…"

"I thought that she was smart." - said Tail who was outside of the communication microphone range.

"Yeah… I honestly get that she is panicking, the situation maybe more fucked than we thought and it is still getting worse and worse." – replied LM.

"It is like a web and hole."

"We need to reach the bottom of the hole in order to obtain the truth, but in our way, there is freaking web."

"We cut it over and over as we tried reaching the truth… But the deeper we get, the more webs gotten in our way."

"And now?"

"It fucking turns out that the hole wasn't a fucking hole, but a goddamned cave that was filled to the brim with freaking webs."

"It will take us… I don't know? Week? Maybe several? Or maybe month."

"Her idea to charge recklessly sound good… But."

"What if inside of that cave there will be freaking trap that we accidently end up triggering and we all end up getting wiped out by explosion?"

"I say no."

"…"

"What do you think? Oron?" – asked Tail.

"…"

(Honestly speaking… Both sides have good idea.) – thought nervous Oron as he was stomping the ground non stop while his two comrades were arguing between each other and at the same time, the two dragon rulers were also disusing their own course of actions.

(Logically speaking, moving now without information could be possible suicidal.)

(But at the same time… The enemy plan is simple.)

(They need two things.)

(They need to make sure that the empire won't become too strong.)

(But most importantly, they need time.)

(If they were ready, they would had moved long time ago.)

"…"

"The enemy is desperate to slow us down as much as possible with their schemes and what not." – said Oron.

"It means one thing."

"The enemy plan can grant them perfect victory."

"But it requires large amount of time."

"Everything they had done so far, points towards it."

"Time."

"The dragon queen's plan is foolish."

"I will say that."

"…"

"But at the same time, it is the only true path we can take."

"?!"

"WOWOWOWOWO! WHAT THE FUCK!?" – shouted LM.

"Are you fucking serious right now?!"

"I agree with LM! That is way too risky!"

"I know! I know that it is risky operation!" – replied Oron.

"But think about it."

"The enemy placed these schemes not only to hide their secret, but to slow us down as much as possible."

"If we play by his rules, we will only end up in single possibility."

"We end up getting shot right in the face the moment we reach the truth."

"And we will just die right on the spot."

"So, the only way we could possible win is to fuck the conspiracy."

"Fuck the rules that they tried to force on us."

"Just fuck everything."

"And do worst possible decision here, since it would be the only thing that the enemy wouldn't expect."

"In other words."

"War."
