75 Battle for the throne reaches its climax (2/2)

After all, since he made the two of them believe they were in a desperate situation, the suggestions he gave them were quickly accepted.

Not that you could blame either of the Prince, since none of them had even been in a situation which made them so nervous and willing to do anything for the victory.

Even if it meant that they had to fight the other prince by themselves, and risk their life to take the other one down.

...

On the other side, Bai Long made Sun Hai tell Bai Shen that even with his and Guo Tian's army combined, they wouldn't be able to defeat Sun Hai's army.

And the same way he told Bai Zhen, Bai Long managed to use Sun Hai and convince Bai Shen that the only chance they had to win was for Bai Shen himself to slay Bai Zhen while the armies from both the sides hold each other back.

Similar to Bai Zhen, Bai Shen who had a lot of pressure on him due to the way Yailing suddenly acted and threatened him, immediately accepted Sun Hai's idea and confidently declared that he could easily take care of Bai Zhen as long as no one interfered.

...

By now a huge commotion was happening inside the Bai Kingdom.

The King's sudden death was the first commotion which caused the whole capital city to go into a panic.

Next, once news of the two princes going to fight had spread out, the panic turned into nervousness. And every single citizen in the streets rushed back inside their homes and decided to not step out until they were sure it was safe.

As for the spies from the other kingdoms, they were completely in shock and didn't know what to do.

They were tasked to inform when the Bai Kingdom's king passed away, so that the neighbouring kingdoms could launch an attack right in the middle of the civil war which is destined to take place.

But now that the two princes were going to fight it out immediately, no matter how fast the information they managed to send out reached their home kingdom, the fight would've long been over, and one of the princes would've been crowned as the King already.

Bai Long, on the other hand, who made this all happen, had no such emotions at all.

Since everything was going just like he wanted, in the very same pace, and he had control over the strongest followers of both the sides, what else did he have to worry about?

All he needed to do was sit back and enjoy the show.

Literally, he only needed to sit back and enjoy the show without even moving a single muscle.

However, since that wouldn't be much fun, Bai Long after deciding on where to make the two princes fight each other, sat on the place which had the highest altitude and gave him a proper view over everything he needed.

Now all he lacked was popcorn, but Bai Long was sure he could make do without it.

”It's showtime.”
