Chapter 1885 Draw The Fiefs Over

"Prince Enoch still has ties with some of the fiefs, and once he rebels, we can assume that these fiefs
will support him. Since the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief support you, it can be said that the royal
family will lose the support of at least half of the nine fiefs. Of course, we also know that the nine fiefs
are the foundation of the power of the royal family. Losing half of them will surely be a huge blow. With
that, I don't think the king can stand against Enoch and the demonic race." Rocky gave a coherent
analysis.

"I see. You are indeed right, Odin. The current situation seems to be favorable for us. If the royal family
confronts Enoch's army, they will have no time to deal with us. Just as you said, we can take advantage
of that and proceed with our own plans." Layla immediately understood what Rocky was trying to say.
By the time Enoch started his rebellion, the royal family would have no choice but to try to suppress
him. While this was happening, Rocky and Layla could just watch from the sideline until both sides
were banged up. At the right timing, they could make the move and put their plans in motion.

"Your Royal Highness, have you already made up your mind to go against the royal family?" Gilbert
asked with a frown. He knew that once the princess decided to do it, there would be no turning back.

"Gilbert, do you think it is necessary for the royal family to continue existing? I know that you
understand the current situation of the Shura Race better. If we let the current system continue and
don't make essential changes, the Shura Race will just repeat the mistakes it has done in the past,"
Layla answered firmly. She remembered when Rocky asked her the same question, and from then on,
she knew exactly what she should do.

"I pledged my allegiance to you because I know that you have the capability to turn the Shura Race
into something better. I don't plan to change my original intention. However, if we are going to go
against the royal family, I can't promise that Flora will also support you," Gilbert said with reluctance.



"It is best if we let Valeria talk to Leader Flora. I believe that Valeria can persuade her," Rocky
immediately urged. In fact, he had already spoken with Valeria about this, so she knew what to do
when the time came.

"I see. For now, I will leave Odin in your care, Your Royal Highness. If anything should happen, just
send someone to inform me." After saying that, Gilbert eventually summoned his mount and headed
back to the Ghost Fief.

"Of course, we should not be contented with the support of the two fiefs. At this time, it will be better if
we can also persuade and merge with the fiefs under Prince Zain," Rocky said, crossing his arms on
his chest.

"Join hands with the fiefs under Zain?" Layla had reservations. After all, she knew that it was
something hard to do.

"There is no doubt that Zain's power and influence are the strongest among you three candidates.
Although he and his men suffered great losses in the Ghostly Demon Land, it doesn't necessarily affect
his overall strength. If we can get the fiefs, who support him, over to our side, especially the Primitive
Fief, it will certainly be a good thing for us," Rocky explained calmly.

"I understand the logic of what you are saying, but I don't think Zain will ever let us poach his men,"
Layla replied, shaking her head.

"Maybe. But in the end, it may not be up to him to decide on that matter. I have already sown some
seeds in the past, and now it is time to reap them," Rocky said with a cunning smile.

Hearing this, Layla could just sigh and let out a faint smile. In her mind, she thought that she was very
lucky to have Rocky by her side. Otherwise, she might not even have a chance to compete for the
position of the leader of the royal family. She could not believe that the young man even had ways to
gather the support of the fiefs that she thought would be impossible to have.



After Gilbert was gone, Layla went back to her palace together with Rocky.

Then, just after a few days, a piece of news spread out that Enoch had already started to revolt, and he
even started to declare himself as the new king. Moreover, just as Rocky suspected, the two fiefs under
Enoch also betrayed the royal family and joined the rebelling army.

At this point, the power structure of the Shura Race began to get out of balance. This rebellion meant
that a bloody and chaotic civil war was about to ensue.

Not long after, the news also reached the Royal Land.

"Your Majesty! We received some bad news!" A minister hurriedly rushed towards the hall and was
heavily panting.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?" The king, who was currently discussing important
matters with the elders and other ministers in the hall, could not help but furrow his brows.

"Your Majesty, Prince Enoch has just started a rebellion!" the minister exclaimed in a shaking voice.

"What did you say?!" Obviously, the king was stunned. At some point, he still wanted to believe that his
brother would not resort to such a thing.

However, after everything that happened, he realized that he was naive to even think of that.
Nonetheless, it was still unexpected that this would happen so soon. It turned out that Enoch had also
planned for everything.

"Where is he now?" the king asked.

"He is still in his territory. Two of the three fiefs who support him have also joined his army."

"That stupid brother of mine!" The king was so infuriated that it had come to this.



"Your Majesty, let me lead my troops to settle this chaos right away!" Shortly after, a general stepped
forward and asked for the king's approval. However, it was apparent that he just wanted to make some
contributions and be recognized by the king.

"Ha-ha! What a noble act!" A burst of laughter was heard from outside the hall.

The next moment, the door opened, and Rocky and Layla entered side by side.

Everyone turned in their direction and saw that Rocky was the one who made the remark.

"What is so funny, Odin?" Seeing the uninvited guests, the king's eyes instantly grew cold and fierce.

"I know that everyone is already expecting Enoch's rebellion to happen. However, I don't think that the
royal family understands its current position. You have always been arrogant, but you can't see that you
are just powerful because of the nine fiefs. Moreover, is the royal family really united on the inside? Do
you even have similar goals? In fact, let me ask everyone present here. How many of you are truly
loyal to the royal family? How many of you are working with the royal family without any selfish or
ulterior motives?" Rocky asked straightforwardly, letting out a sneer.

Upon hearing these words, all of the royal members were taken aback. After all, they knew that Rocky
was speaking the truth. For most people present there, when push came to shove, they would only
prioritize their own gain.

"How dare you, Odin?! Did you just come here to mock the royal family? What are you waiting for?
Arrest this foul-mouthed guy!" the king shouted and ordered angrily.

Immediately after, the masters at the Shura Realm on both sides of the hall pounced on Rocky and
attempted to capture him.



However, before they could even get close to Rocky, an overwhelming aura gushed out of his body,
repelling the several masters and sending them flying backward.

Seeing this scene, the royal members were dumbfounded. All these warriors were at the Shura Realm,
but they were all blown away just by Rocky's aura.

Even the king's mouth was left open. In fact, he was instantly intimidated by Rocky's power that he
suddenly restrained his anger.

When the king had finally somehow calmed himself, he asked in a cold tone, "Why are you here? I
don't recall summoning you."

"Well, a few days have already passed, and we have not heard anything from you. So, we had no
choice but to come uninvited," Rocky said straightforwardly.

The king could not speak for a while since he did not know what to respond. It was true that he was yet
to summon the two, but it was only because he had not yet found a way to make Rocky hand the
Purgatorial Tripod over.

"Your Majesty, I think it will be better if we let Odin guard the Purgatorial Tripod! Prince Enoch has now
openly betrayed the Shura Race. Since he is colluding with the demonic race, you know that their
primary target is the Purgatorial Tripod. Even the gods deem that Odin is the most suitable one to
protect it!" Layla stepped forward and made her voice heard.
