Chapter 590

Author: Summer's Blaze
After the excitement outside died down, the members of the Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team all returned to their respective homes, except for the two from Stonebrook District, Scott and Wilfred. Jacob took them to stay at Northwatch Estate, where they would await the king's summons the next day.

When Thomas stepped into the Farrell family's residence, Alice couldn't stop crying. She clung to her son, sobbing continuously until she nearly fainted from exhaustion. The other family members consoled her while shedding their own tears, and eventually managed to help Alice sit down, allowing everyone to finally speak calmly.

In the Farrell family, there weren't many sons left. Several members of the third branch of the family had fallen in battle. Thomas' return was a great comfort to everyone.

He knelt before each of his elders to greet them. The oldest member of the family, the patriarch of the third branch of the family, broke down in tears. Soon, everyone was wiping their eyes.

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1655

    In the end, Bun and Travis carried Barrett, while Cynthia and Violet carried Aurora. The seven of them hurried through the night. When they came upon thick brambles and thorns that blocked their path, they used sickles to clear the way, not wanting to waste too much inner force.The hours passed in a blur of darkness and exhaustion. Aurora and Barrett had lost all pride. They wished they had wings to fly, instead of being dragged along like this. They had truly lost all sense of dignity.And the thing they thought was impossible? By morning, they found themselves at the foot of the mountain outside Fawnrun City.And they had not even come down the easiest mountain. Instead, they had descended from the mountain where the city's resin trees grew, which meant they had crossed one extra mountain.Carissa was not unkind. After reaching the base of the mountain, she let them sit boldly by the roadside to eat their dry rations.Though their clothes were changed to look like the mountain

    As they left Stormwatch Keep, Carissa could hear the voices of the two people arguing ahead."I don't understand what you're trying to prove. Do you truly believe this will succeed? You trust Carissa in everything she says, but ignore me entirely. Why must you be so stubborn? Don't forget, your family once produced great generals. If they could see you now, groveling before a woman like this, I doubt they would rest in peace," said Aurora in an irritated tone, clearly angry.Barrett's patience was also wearing thin. "Why must you always speak so harshly? I don't trust her blindly. However, the truth is that our forces are no match for Westhaven's. After two days of fighting, we're barely holding on, and many of our comrades have fallen. If we pull away any of our best men tomorrow, it will only get worse. Her plan to ambush them is the best chance we have—"Aurora cut him off angrily: "Best chance? Have you thought at all about what will happen if it fails? You'll lose your life in

    Aurora was in disbelief. It was such a difficult mission, yet they were only planning on sending seven people?Earlier, she had said she would bring Carissa and her friends along on this mission. That was because she hoped that including Dominic's granddaughter would persuade him to appoint more soldiers to the mission. With more men, Aurora could keep herself safe while making sure she completed the mission and earned merit.But now, hearing that only seven people would go, she thought less of glory and more of survival. The risk far outweighed the reward. She was no fool and didn't wish to volunteer.Yet Aurora didn't refuse at once. Instead, she rose and looked at Carissa. "You initially intended to go with only five people, right? Are you certain you can complete the task without fail?"Carissa met her gaze steadily. "Nothing is ever without risk. We can only do our best."Aurora frowned. "And how sure are you?""Probably a sixty or seventy percent chance. But even if we fail

    After standing there for a moment, it was Aurora who first thought of something. She pushed aside her earlier sarcasm and stepped forward to ask, "Have you come to volunteer for the mission to burn the enemy's supply depot as well?""You too?" Travis replied, raising a brow.Aurora nodded. "I've noticed your skills in battle. You all move swiftly and strike true. If you and your group wish to come, very well. But know this: all orders will come from me and General Warren."Aurora had taken note of how they fought with grace and courage on the battlefield. Though they had fought in two fierce battles at the front lines, not one of them bore a wound. Had their skills been anything less, they would have died long ago.She also knew that Carissa was Dominic's granddaughter. If Carissa joined the mission, the Grand General would surely send more troops with them. That would halve the danger and increase their chances of success. No matter how she looked at it, this was an excellent chan

    Carissa and the others were sent to wait outside while the generals held a private meeting, weighing their options and maybe coming up with other plans.Bun squatted in the corridor and glanced up at Travis. "You're an official now. Tell me, what chance of success do we really have if we go?"Travis looked at Carissa. "What do you think?""It will be difficult, no doubt. But this plan stands a better chance than sending a whole troop, and it carries less risk. Even if we fail, at least we can retreat safely," Carissa answered.Cynthia nodded in agreement. "That's right. Running away is our specialty."Violet shot her a sharp look. "Running away is our specialty? You mean our Lightfoot Skill. We're the best at that."Cynthia grinned. "That's what I said! If not us, then who else? This mission's made for us."Just then, a guard approached and reported that Barrett and Aurora were requesting an audience. Carissa straightened instantly, her eyes wary. They couldn't be allowed to rep

    The drums of war thundered as the battle raged fiercely. The Westhaven soldiers were even more desperate than they had been the day before. They charged forward recklessly, as if their lives depended on it.Leroy didn't join the fight himself but stayed behind to command the troops. Carissa wanted to capture the leader to end the war, but it was impossible with him hiding away.With their forces so uneven, only Dominic leading the charge at the front could inspire the troops' courage. Carissa worried greatly for him, as she was afraid he might be struck by an arrow. Even if it risked revealing her identity, she pressed through the crowd to stay close by his side.The sons of the Sullivan family guarded Dominic as well, their spirits lifted by his presence. Together, they charged into battle. Meanwhile, Carissa focused entirely on her foes, one after another falling to her spear.Dominic noticed her but didn't recognize her at first. When an arrow suddenly flew toward him, she leapt
