Reincarnated One Last Time

Chapter 64: Sand Berserk Tribe Undercurrent.

 

Half an hour later, Levi came out of the shop and headed to the other location. While walking, he is thinking about the discussion he had with the elderly woman. She is just an ordinary shopkeeper, but she works under an adept shaman that belongs to the fourth prince faction.

 

Although the elderly woman is not a mage or shaman, after living a long time, her instincts are telling her Levi is not an ordinary human.

 

She wants to hire Levi to work under the fourth prince factions.

 

There is a conflict with the succession of the Sand Berserk Tribe. Once the battle starts, the purge of the royal family's successors will begin, and the winner will be the new king. Right now, everyone is taking sides, but the one that has the most influence is the first prince.

 

Levi wanted more time to think about it. He can’t make a rush decision without proper information. ‘The reward is generous, but what use is it if I die? Levi smirk. He doesn’t know if the voice will save him again, like in Tianxia World, when he almost dies. Rather than take the risk, let's wait for a while.

In the desert, there is hardly any rain, so any weak tribes near a water source will be conquered by the strong tribe. Here, sandstorms are common; the natives and merchants are already used to this type of weather.

 

Prunella is the daughter of a fallen noble in the Cirean Kingdom. After the destruction of her family, she used all of her wealth to become a merchant with his younger brother.

 

After several years, she manages to do business in Veins City. But according to her friend, the storm is brewing in the Sand Berserk Tribe, and no one knows when the civil war is going to start.

 

Fortunately, the Sand Berserk Tribe king is still alive. As long as nothing happens to him, the princes and princesses will behave themselves. When the civil war starts, the other tribes will take advantage of the situation. At that time, the Red Sand Desert will be in chaos.

 

While walking, she notices a large horned bear walking on the road, and her face is pale. Not because of the monster but because of the masked woman walking beside it.

 

"Blood Witch, why is she here?" Prunella quickly hides, and although Clara is wearing a mask, she recognizes her father's killer. She is the reason Prunella leaves the kingdom.

 

"Since I finally found you, where have you gone?" Peter asked; he is Prunella's younger brother and owner of Peter Waldo Merchant.

 

"Shush, the blood witch is nearby."

 

"What where." Peter's head looks around in a panic.

 

Both of the siblings were afraid that the blood witch would come back to kill them, so they fled the kingdom.

 

Prunella pointed at the masked woman beside the large horn bear.

 

Peter blinked his eyes a few times and finally spoke. "I think you mistaken the wrong person; that woman's name is Clara from the Horn Bear Mercenary, and those horn bears saved my life."

 

"I recognize her figure." She remembers the nightmare in the past and the memory of seeing her father get killed by a blood sword—the signature moves of the blood witch.

 

"Sis, Don’t you think it's weird that the blood witch will come here?"

 

"I still think we should be careful."

 

"How about this? I will ask Levi, the leader of the horn bear mercenary, about her."

 

"Fine." Prunella began to doubt herself—maybe she was mistaken. The Blood Witch never leaves the Cirean kingdom.

 

Over time, the sibling had gathered information about the Blood Witch and her target, an evil person and anyone related to them. Their father is one of them, raping and killing innocent serfs to cope with his unhappiness with the fallen noble house.

 

For the honor of the noble, when their house fell, most of their long-time friends abandoned them like trash.

 

The sibling had no intention of getting revenge on their father and just wanted to live in peace.

Sand Berserk Tribe's main city is the same as Vein's city; there are many tents without a wall protecting them. Rather than defend, they prefer to attack their enemy. On the surface, everything looks fine, but everyone knows something is going to happen in the future. The reason is simple: the king is already old.

 

Inside the large tent of the first prince, there are several men and women that he trusted. A middle-aged man with a bald head and beard is discussing this with his follower.

 

"Your Highness, we should work together with the anti-federation." Even though the king had ordered the elders to keep it a secret, the information still leaked out.

 

“The majesty refuses to work with them, and they are outsiders. My only concern is my sibling." The first prince replied. He knows his father's intention: before the problem of succession is solved, bringing in an outsider will cause more chaos. The outsider might have worked with other tribes when the civil war started.

 

"Your Highness just gives us the order, and we shall start."

 

"It’s not yet the right time; keep building our force until the time comes." The first prince is not stupid; the one who makes the first move will suffer the attack from all directions.

 

"Yes, "Your Highness." Everyone spoke.

 

"What about my sibling's activity?"

 

"Although the king is fond of the fourth prince and sixth princess, however, their force is weak. Our only concern is the second prince, the third prince, and the first princess."

 

“Why does my third bother?"

 

"I got information he works with the other tribes."

 

"It is impossible that he is timid. Someone must have used him, and if he works with the other tribe, Father has already sentenced him to death."

 

"I will send people to investigate the truth."

 

While they are discussing the plan. In many places, many groups also have the same discussion about succession.

 

Outside of the city, nearby on a rocky mountain, a temporary camp had been built. The fourth prince and sixth princess had the same information as the first prince.

 

“How is the third bother involved in this; his mother, just a maid, doesn’t have the power to help him?" Asked the sixth princess.

 

"I don’t know; maybe the information is fake." responded the fourth prince.

 

"Even if we flee, this is our home." The fourth prince and his sister are happy here; however, they realize that the king is getting older. Although the king loves them, he can only send them to other kingdoms to be safe. The reason they need an army is to protect themselves when the civil war begins.

 

"Let’s retreat to our base in Veins City and wait for an opportunity, and I am sure other princes and princesses had the same idea." A middle-aged man wearing a shaman's robe spoke.

 

The fourth prince nodded. "How many people had we gathered?"

 

"Around 200." The middle-aged shaman spoke.

 

"The number is too low."

 

"Combined with our soldiers and slaves, we had around 500 people."

 

"What about a shaman or mage?"

 

"Other than me, there are none; Shamans and mages are hard to recruit."

 

"It's fine." Suddenly, the fourth prince remembers something. "How is our plan for the Efreeti?"

 

"Your Highness, my advice is that we don’t get involved with those genies."

 

"Can’t we talk to them?"

 

"We don’t even have anyone that can talk to them in their language."

 

Although the native tribe rules most of the red sand desert, there are also certain areas that they don’t dare enter. One of them is ruled by the Efreeti, a muscular humanoid monster with red or black skin that can use both melee weapons and fire magic.

 

Some tribes wanted to conquer the Efreeti territory in the past. But in one day, the whole tribe's army had been eliminated. The survivor says it is like hell; people are getting massacred left and right, and the fire burns everywhere.

 

Since then, the Efreeti territory has been considered a forbidden area.

The third prince of the Sand Berserk Tribe was called the timid and cowardly prince. The reason is simple: he prefers not to conflict with other people. However, they are mistaken; he just prefers to use his brain to solve a problem, and his mother is a maid.

 

He doesn’t want to cause any problems for his mother.

 

However, everything changes in a few years; his maid and childhood friend are gone. When he found her, everything was too late; her naked and disfigured corpse had been found in the desert. At that time, in his mind, he is going to kill everyone.

 

After investigation, the suspect is the first princess because she envies the maid's beauty. This is not the first time she has done it, but her sister will not touch other sibling maids. That only means that the one who killed her is the lecherous fifth prince, who had the same mother as the first princess.

 

He wants revenge, but without an army, it is impossible. That's why he joined the outside force; now it’s time to move.

 

"How?" The Third Prince asked calmly.

 

"We can start any time." A man wearing a head scarf knelt in front of him and waited for the order.

 

"Bring me the fifth prince's head."
