Her Graceful War Song Chapter 64
Barrett didn’t share Aurora’s optimism. While he had initially been eager to go to the Southern Frontier, that was under the assumption there would be only Sandorian soldiers to face. Now, with Westhaven’s three hundred thousand soldiers pouring into Ilyrian and Simonton, and with Sandoria possibly sending even more soldiers, the situation had changed drastically.The enemy forces now numbered around five hundred thousand. Meanwhile, Barrett’s forces totaled less than one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers. Combined with Rafael's exhausted and under-resourced forces, they only had about three hundred thousand soldiers in total. Rafael’s forces were now severely exhausted, with many wounded soldiers and a shortage of supplies. They were waiting for provisions on an empty stomach, so it was impossible to capture Ilyrian at the moment. They would have to wait in place for reinforcements to arrive.Winter made the situation even worse. The Southern Frontier was harsh and cold, wh

The news that Barrett and Aurora were heading to the Southern Frontier stirred both excitement and concern in Rebecca. She knew that going to battle meant both fortune and peril—victory would bring great achievements, while defeat could cost their lives.After reflecting on it, Rebecca trusted her son and Aurora. After all, Aurora had played a crucial role in the Victory Pass battle. She was capable.As generals, they would only need to command the troops—the soldiers would do the actual fighting. With this thought, Rebecca's joy overshadowed her worry. She made preparations for their departure.A few days after Barrett and Aurora left the capital with their troops, the Starhaven spies stationed in Sandoria finally returned with reports. The confidential messages matched exactly with the news from Rafael at the Southern Frontier and the information Carissa had provided over half a month ago.The young and handsome king angrily tore up the reports. Over half a month had been lost!

“How is she at fault? She went to the Southern Frontier with important news. If only I had trusted her, we could have been better prepared and not caught off guard. Even a day or an hour can make a difference in warfare. She did her duty. It’s my fault for not believing her,” Salvador said.He leaned slightly to the side. “I had the royal guards watch her, and she still managed to slip away in the middle of the night? It seems her Lightfoot Skills are quite impressive.”Derek smiled. “Your Majesty, she trained for seven to eight years at the Pathfinders Guild, the leading martial arts school in Starhaven. I heard she was one of their most talented apprentices.”“Really?” Salvador was surprised. He only knew of Pathfinders Guild through Kyle, and hadn’t realized Carissa was so capable. “I find it odd that Madam Sinclair would choose Barrett as her son-in-law. With the Sinclairs’ standing, she could have picked any prominent family. Why choose the declining Warren family?”Derek he

Ignorance was the most frightening thing.Derek shook his head. “I don't know anything. I’m just following orders.”His simple statement refrained Harvey from asking further questions. The king’s will was akin to divine authority—punishment was also a form of reward.After Derek left, the couple looked at each other in confusion. They served the empress dowager, and the king even graciously allowed her to stay with them at Hartstone Estate. They were generally on good terms, so why were they being punished without explanation?They hadn’t done anything wrong, or dared to do anything wrong. It was truly strange!-In the depths of winter, heavy snow had blocked the path of Barrett's troops. Although they had rushed out of the capital, the snow had fallen continuously for two days, covering everything with a thick layer. The severe cold wasn’t the only issue; progress had been severely delayed due to the heavy snowfall. Each step was difficult, making it hard to pull one’s foot

“I lost count after thirty,” Carissa said, raising her arm. The Rose Spear felt incredibly heavy. War was truly exhausting.“I counted—I killed fifty!” Bun tried to jump up with a fancy flip, but ended up face-planting to the ground instead. Because there were too many people on the battlefield, Bun's sword had been knocked away. He ended up using his fists and feet to fight before finally retrieving his weapon after the enemy forces had retreated.“I killed sixty-three,” Violet reported.Rafael's deputy, Dylan, approached them, covered in blood and grime.Carissa sat up first, then used the Rose Spear to help herself stand. “Deputy Ziegler!”“Carissa!” Dylan’s eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement. “Do you know how many enemies you’ve killed?”“No, I lost count,” Carissa replied.Dylan clapped his hands in delight.“The marshal personally counted the enemies you killed. You used your spear to pierce their throats—just counting those, there were over three hundred! Th

In Ilyrian, Westhaven's marshal, Liam Simmons, stood on the city walls, watching the Starhaven soldiers in the distance. Hatred and anger burned in his eyes.“They won't be able to defend the Southern Frontier,” he said coldly, his gaze almost fiery enough to incinerate the distant Starhaven troops.“Your soldiers are injured and exhausted. Take a few days to rest before attacking again,” suggested Sandoria's marshal, Victor.Liam shook his head. His white hair was covered by a thick hat, and he exhaled clouds of white breath. Gripping the wall’s stone bricks, he said, “No! We can’t let them enjoy their victory for too long. We will resume the attack the day after tomorrow. Within three days, we must capture Tower City.”Victor was indifferent. Most of the soldiers on the front lines were from Westhaven, and they had brought their own soldiers and supplies.“We’ve investigated the matter you asked about. The general Aurora Yates is indeed among the Starhaven reinforcements, and is

Back in the camp, Carissa managed to compose herself. Despite her promotion to regiment commander, she still had to share a small tent with Cynthia and the others. The only difference was the addition of two new blankets sent from Tower City.Since Bun and Travis were men, a curtain was drawn in the middle of the tent for privacy while they undressed to tend to their wounds.Everyone had suffered minor injuries, though nothing serious. The cold weather made the pain more intense than usual.Carissa handed out medicine for their injuries, but no one needed it. After all, everyone going to battle brought their own supplies, and each guild had its own healing remedies.Carissa took back the medicine. “Never mind.”“Carissa, I heard your ex-husband and his new wife are coming to support us. Won’t that be awkward when you meet them?” Cynthia asked while dressing and cleaning up the powdered medicine on the floor.“Awkward? Not at all,” Violet snorted, her face as cold as frost. “Jus

A large hand picked up the fallen wine pouch. The man twisted it open and sniffed the contents, and his eyes shone with delight. However, his words were filled with anger. “How dare you hoard fine wine in the military camp? This will be confiscated!”With that, he turned and stormed off.Carissa sat on the ground, rubbing her nose and blinked away tears. She could only vaguely see a tall figure darting back toward the command tent.“The marshal confiscated it,” Bun said, stunned. Then, he sighed deeply. “Even a sip would have been fine. Why make such a fuss? Now it’s gone.”Violet didn’t expect Rafael to come by either, and chuckled. “Do you really think I just had one pouch when my bag is so huge?”Bun and Travis hurried inside, singing Violet's praises. Then, they quickly drank another pouch of wine that Violet had stashed away.It was refreshing!-The call to arms for the second battle sounded, and the ground shook with the pounding of iron hooves, as if the earth itsel
