Chapter 50 Victory and Return(2/3)
My father looked at me deeply and said, "It's you."
"I?"
"Yes, because I believe in your vision. Before, I never thought that my most outstanding son would be a boy like you who does not have the image of Beamon. But after returning from the front this time, I know that light
You cannot make the orcs stronger by relying on your strength. From now on, when your eldest brother takes over my position, you must help him well."
I nodded and said, "I will, father. But what about Lei Hu?"
A cold light flashed in the father's eyes, and he said: "If he can get rid of his problems, I will naturally be very happy. He is still the deputy commander of the Behemoth Army. Otherwise..., you don't need to worry about his affairs, I will handle it."
, he disappointed me so much.”
"I still regret the last time I killed his mother. I was too impulsive at that time."
My father glanced at me and said nothing.

More than a mile of red carpet was spread in front of the Beast Palace, with lights and colorful decorations on both sides and drums and music. The soldiers of the Mad Lion Legion were neatly arranged on both sides, holding high the long swords in their hands to greet us.
"Orc heroes, welcome your triumphant return." The Beast King personally led all the officials to greet us in front of the palace.
We quickly took a step forward, and just as we were about to kneel down, the Beast King held me and my father up, and said, "Don't be too polite, I can't stand the heroes kneeling, haha. Let's go, let's talk inside."
The victory made the Beast King extremely excited, he was finally about to get what he wanted most.
The Beast King personally welcomed us heroes into the hall. A sumptuous banquet had been prepared here, and the whole hall was filled with a festive atmosphere. The Beast King asked me, my father, Pan Zong, Jinyin, Meng Ke and
The heads of the four major clans who supported us on the front line sat at the same table with him. The other low-level generals were accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials.
The Beast King stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Come, let us toast the heroes who have returned triumphantly."
We hurriedly stood up and drank the wine together. The Beast King frequently served dishes in person. He looked like a newly married groom, and his excitement was palpable.
In the middle of the banquet, my father whispered to the Beast King in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired and want to go back to rest first. Let Lei Xiang and the others accompany you here."
The Beast King put down his wine glass and said in astonishment: "Brother, today is a very happy day. If you are so happy, why don't you have a few more drinks."
My father sighed and said, "I feel very tired from fighting all year round. Please spare me."
The Beast King said with relief: "Brother, you have worked really hard these years. You have paid too much for the Beastmen. Well, you can go back and rest early. I will ask someone to send you some supplements later."
Past.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." My father turned to me and said, "You can have a few more drinks with Your Majesty. I will go back home."
"Father?"
The father waved his hand and stood up. The Beast King also stood up and said loudly: "For the victory of our orcs, Brother Leo has made a lot of efforts. Without him, there would be no orcs today, all year round.
The battle has made our heroes a little tired, so let’s send our King Behemoth home together.”
"Farewell to His Royal Highness King Behemoth."
...The banquet lasted for a long time and didn't end until late at night. The somewhat tipsy Beast Emperor pulled me and said, "Lei Xiang, please leave later. Father has something to say to you."
"Yes, father, brother, you go back first."
Pan Zong glanced at me, winked at me, picked up the drunk gold and silver and left first.
I helped the Beast Emperor back to his bedroom. The Beast Emperor sat on a chair, grabbed my hand and said, "My child, this time you have made great contributions to the orcs. Tell Father, what do you want?
The emperor will definitely satisfy your request."
"Father, you are a little drunk. Go to bed early. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."
The Beast King said with drunken eyes: "Who said I was drunk? Can that little wine make me drunk? Originally, I wanted to invite your mother to come over today, but she said she didn't want to come because your father was here, so I didn't force it.
She, my child, thank you. I have ordered people to build Prince Rui's Palace for you in the north of the palace. From now on, you will have your own place to live. It will probably take some time to complete."
"Thank you, Father, but I have already lived well here, so I don't need to spend any money..."
"Hey -, this is what you deserve. I'm really a little drunk. Let's talk about other things tomorrow. Come to the study room to see me tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Father, you can rest early, I will go back first."
"kindness."
I turned around and left the Beast King's palace. I hadn't seen my mother for two months and I didn't know how she was doing.
After I left, the Beast King stood up. His eyes became very clear, and the drunkenness just seemed to disappear in an instant. He looked straight in the direction I left and whispered: "Shadow."
A dark figure flashed out, "Your Majesty."
"How's the investigation going? Is there anything unusual in Lei Xiang?"
"I checked, and there is nothing wrong with him. However, he seems to be very popular now. When he returned to the imperial capital, the whole street shouted his and His Royal Highness King Behemoth's names. Moreover, our people said
, when negotiating with the demons, His Royal Highness King Beamon once stated that Lei Xiang would take over his position as the orc commander in the future."
The Beast King snorted and said: "Is this something he can decide? However, I think Lei Xiang is a good kid. Indeed, he will be the pillar of the orcs. Sooner or later, the position of commander will belong to him. With him here, maybe I can unify
Where is the mainland?"
"I also think that Lei Xiang is a talented person. He can drag across the 200,000-strong army of Prince Sucha of the Demon Clan with 60,000 people. He must be outstanding and very loyal. However, you'd better not give him too much money now."
rights, and don’t let him have too much influence among the orcs, otherwise, it will be difficult to control him in the future.”
"Well, I have considered this a long time ago, and I know what to do. I trust Lei Xiang, and I will try my best to retain him to serve our orcs. Even in the Dragon God Empire, I am afraid there are not many like him.
Talent, talent is rare. For the time being, he is still under my control. I will reuse him. I like people with no ambition like him the most. However, he is too playful. He once proposed the Orc Kingdom to me.
We will leave after reunification."
"leave?"
"Well, I won't let him leave easily. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he is used by other countries."

When I returned to the courtyard where my mother lived, the quietness and the familiar smell of flowers and plants made me feel like I was home again. My mother was sitting in the courtyard, waiting for me.
I walked quickly to my mother and said, "Mom, I'm back."
"Yes." My mother put her feet on her feet and helped me comb my somewhat scattered hair twice. "I have heard about it a long time ago. My heroic son. You must be tired. You are thinner than when you left." The warm words of the loving mother made me happy.
The circles under my eyes turned red.
"Mom, I'm not tired. How are you while I'm gone? How are you doing?"
The mother smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine, you see." As she said that, the mother waved her left hand, and a layer of soft pink light appeared on her hand. Although the air flow fluctuations were very weak, it was obvious that the mother's cultivation
The fighting spirit has already paid off.
I said in surprise: "Mom, you are really a genius in martial arts. You have made such great progress in less than a year."
The mother smiled proudly and said: "Now I know that practicing this is not difficult. As long as you understand the connotation of the method and follow the instructions slowly, you will make progress naturally."
"Congratulations, ah, by the way, where are eldest brother and the others."
"They all drank too much and have gone to bed. It's already so late, so you should go to bed early."
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Well. Just tell me."
"During this raid on the demon clan, I found that there seemed to be something wrong with my father..."
My mother suddenly raised her head and glared at me, raising her voice and saying, "Don't mention him in front of me, I don't want to know anything about him."
"Mom, I..."
"Okay, stop talking. You can go and have a rest early." With that, my mother walked away and went back to her room. It seemed that her hatred for her father had no room for change. I sighed and went back to myself.
Went to rest in the room.
In the early morning, I came to the Beast King's study room to meet him.
"My sons and ministers see my father."
The Beast King said kindly: "Here you go, sit down."
"How can I sit in front of you? Yesterday you said you wanted to see me if you had something to do. Please give me your orders."
The Beast King was obviously very satisfied with my attitude and nodded: "That's right, you've been working too hard for a while. The Beast God Sect has gradually got on track. Most places in our country have begun to promote farming and production. I have already cooperated with you."
The four races of tigers, leopards, bears, and centaurs discussed it, and they decided to support me in promoting the Beast God Religion. I decided to declare the Beast God Religion as the state religion later, and set up beast temples in each province. You
Let’s see how it goes.”
I thought for a while and said: "I think there is no problem. This time we successfully defeated the demons, and your prestige has reached an unprecedented height. Taking this opportunity to accelerate the development of the Beast God Cult is a good choice. With the four
With the support of the big clans and the werewolf and snake people, you can now fully control most of the strength in the entire orc country."
"Yes, thanks to your good idea at the beginning, I have never felt that the entire Orc Kingdom is completely under my control like now. I think it is only a matter of time before the Orc Kingdom becomes stronger. It is thanks to your contribution to the current situation.
Max. You are tired too. Take more rest recently. I will let other subordinates do the work of exterminating the bandits."
I was shocked. Could it be that the Beast King had some suspicion about me? Otherwise, why would he stop my mission? With a thought in my heart, I immediately understood that it was because my reputation was rising rapidly.
I said calmly: "Thank you, Father, for your care for me. I also want to spend more time with my mother. If you have any use for me, just ask."
The Beast King smiled and said: "You are the most outstanding talent in our country of beasts. There are many places for you to use. Don't doubt your father's purpose. My father just thinks that letting you continue to suppress bandits is overqualified. I asked the responsible person
