Thunder Yun's expression was ugly as he sat in the hall. Cloud Ying and the other generals also had ugly expressions on their faces. The arrival of the Third Prince as well as the Imperial Decree made them feel as if the sky was falling and the earth was being torn apart.
These people knew the Taurus Divine King very well. In this realm, the Taurus Divine King had six sons. The First Prince was born from a concubine. Since he was young, he had no interest in martial arts. Because of this, he was only an ordinary Demigod. This was very rare in the Divine Realm, especially in the Divine Realm's Royal Clans.
However, Thunder Yun and the others understood why the Crown Prince did this. This was because the Crown Prince was born from a concubine. It was reasonable to say that he didn't have the right to inherit the throne. However, because he was the first son of the Taurus Divine King, there were a lot of Divines who wanted him to inherit the throne.
On the other hand, the Taurus Divine King's Queen had a very powerful family. The son of the Taurus Divine King and the Queen was the Second Prince. With such a powerful mother as well as the fact that he was born from a concubine, it was natural for him to inherit the throne. However, the Crown Prince was in front of them. If the Crown Prince's performance was outstanding, then he would certainly become a thorn in the eyes of the mother and son. Because of this, the Crown Prince didn't study martial arts and only focused on martial arts. He was only a Demigod expert, so naturally, he lost the ability to compete for the throne.
At the same time, the Second Prince's performance made people speechless. The Second Prince was now a God-ranked expert. Moreover, he had been training in the army since he was a child. He was a person who had been on the battlefield. Moreover, he had been taught by his father and mother since he was a child. It can be said that he was the perfect successor to the throne. Almost all of the Great Clans in the Taurus Divines supported the Second Prince's ascension to the throne.
However, this created a situation. The Taurus Divine King was still in his prime. He didn't want to abdicate, so he wouldn't die in a short time. At the same time, the Second Prince was a threat to his throne. This made the Taurus Divine King restless. Therefore, he thought of another way to balance the Second Prince, and that was to favor the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was also the son of the Taurus King and the younger brother of the Second Prince. However, the Third Prince was different from the Second Prince. The Second Prince was smart and eager to learn since he was a child. He also had experience in the military.
On the other hand, the Third Prince was different. The Third Prince grew up in the palace and was deeply doted on by his father. Although he was very smart and eager to learn, he was also very arrogant and didn't listen to others. In addition, he didn't go out to experience the world, so he was too far behind in dealing with people.
However, there was one thing that the Third Prince did the best among his brothers, and that was that he was very good at making his parents happy.
From a young age, the Third Prince knew how to make the Taurus Divine King and the Queen happy. When he grew up, he was even more so. In front of the Taurus Divine King and the Queen, the Third Prince was well-behaved and obedient. However, in front of others, he was arrogant, arrogant, and lustful. He often mingled with the Taurus Divine Race's famous playboys. Naturally, he didn't learn anything good.
At this point, he was only a God-ranked expert. Discerning people could see that the Third Prince was far worse than the Second Prince. However, the Taurus Divine King still liked the Third Prince. He didn't allow anyone to say anything bad about him, even the Queen.
On the other hand, the other three children of the Taurus King were still young. Moreover, they were born from concubines. They simply didn't have any competition for the throne. Therefore, in the end, the throne would be given to the second prince and the third prince. The second prince was excellent and had the support of many people, but he was feared by the King. On the other hand, the third prince was favored by the King and Queen.
What surprised the Taurus Nobles the most was the fact that the Taurus Marshal, the King's younger brother, liked the Third Prince very much. On the other hand, he didn't like the Second Prince. With the support of such a strong character, the Third Prince's chances of inheriting the throne seemed to be higher than the Second Prince.
However, people like Thunder Yun were very clear about the Third Prince's strength and ability. Compared to the Second Prince, the Third Prince was far worse. Because of this, they didn't like the Third Prince very much.
However, Thunder Yun was a subordinate of the Taurus Prince, the King's younger brother. Because of this, even if they didn't like the Third Prince, they still wouldn't support the Second Prince.
What Thunder Yun didn't know was that the reason why the Third Prince came to the frontlines was because of the Taurus Marshal. The Taurus Marshal only had one purpose, and that was to give the Third Prince military merits so that he could inherit the throne in the future.
Actually, in addition to the Imperial Decree, Master Yuan also sent a private letter to Thunder Yun, asking the Third Prince to give it to him. In the letter, Master Yuan made it clear to Thunder Yun that the Third Prince was the commander-in-chief of the frontlines not because he wanted to reduce Thunder Yun's authority, but because he wanted the Third Prince to gain military merits. Because of this, Thunder Yun was still the one in command. He also wanted Thunder Yun to help the Third Prince.
Moreover, the Marshal also told the Third Prince about the contents of the letter. When the Third Prince arrives at the frontlines, he must listen to Thunder Yun's arrangements.
However, the Marshal didn't know much about the Third Prince. The Third Prince was a very headstrong and self-opinionated person. When he heard the Marshal's arrangement, he faintly looked down on him. At that time, he was very unhappy. However, he pretended to be very obedient. In his heart, he simply didn't take this matter seriously.
And with Thunder Yun's upright temperament, when he saw the Third Prince, the Third Prince didn't give him the letter. Naturally, the Third Prince couldn't just hand over the letter to Thunder Yun. Instead, he used an Imperial Decree to remove Thunder Yun from command. In his opinion, he had been studying the art of war since childhood, how could he not be able to deal with the Ark Continent? What? You said that Thunder Yun couldn't deal with the Third Prince? This was because Thunder Yun was very old, and he was very timid. The older he got, the more useless he became.
Naturally, it was impossible for Thunder Yun to know about the twists and turns of this matter. However, the Imperial Decree and the token were real. This made Thunder Yun feel awkward.
When Cloud Ying saw that Thunder Yun didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "General, why did Master Yuan give such an order? Don't you think it's strange?"
Thunder Yun knit his brows and said, "I also feel that something is strange. Master Yuan should've sent me a private message in addition to the Imperial Edict. But he didn't this time. I also feel that it's strange."
The generals in the hall frowned, they also felt that this matter was strange. Cloud Ying looked at Thunder Yun, his eyes flashed as he said, "General, do you think that there's a change in the capital?"
When Thunder Yun heard Cloud Ying, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he said, "What do you mean?"
Cloud Ying replied, "There might be a change in the Marshal's side. In the past few years, the Taurus Divines have been expanding all over the continent. And most of it was under Master Yuan's command. His contribution was the greatest. Now, a lot of people in the Taurus Continent only know about Master Yuan and not the Emperor. This made me worried."
Thunder Yun's expression sank, then he immediately said, "Fei 'er, come in."
Fei 'er, who was guarding the door, nodded and then walked in. Thunder Yun looked at Fei' er and said, "I'll write a letter immediately. You have to find a way to deliver this letter to Master Yuan's Mansion as soon as possible. Remember, you have to be quick."
After he said that, Thunder Yun took a pen and wrote a letter to Master Yuan. Then he placed the letter inside a small bamboo tube and handed it over to Fei 'er. After receiving the letter, Fei' er gave a salute to Thunder Yun before he turned around and left.
Thunder Yun turned his head to Cloud Ying and the others and said, "No matter what happens in the capital, you should immediately return to your troops and prepare yourselves. Remember, if the Third Prince wants you to be cannon fodder, then you should be alert."
Cloud Ying and the others weren't fools. When they heard Thunder Yun, they immediately understood what he meant. They were all under Master Yuan's command. If something happened in the capital, then the Marshal would certainly be under someone else's control. And the enemy wouldn't let them off. They would certainly use this opportunity to cut off Master Yuan's wings. And these people would be the ones to be cut off.
However, it wouldn't be easy to cut them off. Each of them had been in the army for many years. Their control over the army was unparalleled. If they were suddenly removed from their positions, then it might cause a mutiny. Therefore, the best way to deal with them was to use them as cannon fodder to deal with Zhao Hai. Then they would be destroyed by Zhao Hai. Once their army is destroyed, then they would no longer be a threat.
Cloud Ying and the others nodded, then they stood up and gave Thunder Yun a salute before turning around to leave. Thunder Yun stood up and walked towards the door. Then he looked at the sword carriage that was suspended in mid-air. His eyes flashed with a cold light.
The Third Prince didn't think that his unintentional action would make Thunder Yun think of so many things. Moreover, he didn't think that this matter was just a fuse. What happened afterwards was completely beyond his imagination.
At this time, the Third Prince was throwing a tantrum inside the sword carriage. He thought that he had been insulted. The maids that followed him were standing there with their heads down, not daring to move. They understood the Third Prince's temper too well. If they dared to move at this time, then they would be in big trouble.
After cursing for a while inside the sword carriage, the Third Prince's temper finally calmed down. Then he turned his gaze to the maids. He grabbed one of them and tore off her clothes.
After receiving Thunder Yun's letter, Fei 'er immediately left the Divine Race's camp and flew towards the Divine Realm. After leaving the camp, Fei' er suddenly slowed down. Then he took out the bamboo tube that contained the letter and didn't hesitate to open it. After taking the letter out, he carefully read it.
After reading the letter, Fei 'er's eyes flashed. Then his figure moved and flew forward. But this time, he wasn't flying towards the Divine Realm, but towards the other side of the Radiant Empire.
