Chapter 191

Several generals sent men to summon Stanley, only to be told that his tent was already empty.The men exchanged looks of shock and admiration. "It really was Stanley's troop, wasn't it?"Meanwhile, Jocelyn, who had been in the tent earlier, had already left the camp. She was rushing toward Frost Ridge at top speed.When the scout said, 'we've won,' she immediately sensed something was wrong.And when she heard that Stanley had led the attack, she realized instantly—her senior had returned. If she stayed any longer, she would surely be exposed. She had to leave immediately.Back at the camp, the troop leaders felt both thrilled and frustrated. Gathered together, they were at a loss for what to do next."Stanley executed a brilliant feint, but he was too secretive—he even kept us in the dark.""Exactly! He made such a big show of breaking camp, only to take just a dozen men and strike at the Romenia camp... And now he's nowhere to be found. When daylight comes, do we continue marc

Jocelyn removed her mask, revealing a tear-streaked face filled with relief."Jane, you've finally returned!"Jane stared at her with a stern expression."You abandoned the Master and the Mistress, along with nearly twenty thousand soldiers. You led an army of over a hundred thousand eastward. What were you thinking?"Jocelyn looked on the verge of tears as she hurriedly explained, "I never meant to abandon them, especially Master, but I truly didn't know what to do. That was the decision made after deliberation among the troop leaders."I'm not you, Jane. I was just a temporary stand-in to stabilize the troops. I couldn't do anything..."Jane knew her junior well—fearful and indecisive.The first time she met Jocelyn, she was six or seven years old, starving to the brink of death, and collapsed at the gates of the Morris household.The Master and Mistress had intended to send her away after rescuing her, but Jane had pleaded incessantly until they agreed to take Jocelyn in as

The army of over a hundred thousand was stationed about ten miles away—neither too far nor too close."They must have heard about the battle at the Romenian camp by now," Kennedy said. "By dawn at the latest, they will send someone to inquire. Jane, this is a critical matter. Regarding the strategy for advancing on Romenia, what are your thoughts?"Should this army continue eastward, or should we turn back and head north along Frost Ridge?"Jane gazed at the tray of sand, lost in thought for a long while. Before long, she had made up her mind."After tonight's battle, the Romenian army will be utterly routed," she said. "Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively."Falcon Troop will advance first and break open Romenia's southern gate, allowing our army of over a hundred thousand to charge straight in. Our target—Romenia's capital!"She pulled out the flag representing the Romenian capital, her eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.Kennedy stroked his beard and nodded.

In the court, officials whispered among themselves."Did I hear that right? Nidora actually won instead of the Romenian army?""One hundred and twenty thousand Romenian soldiers, and they lost?""Isn't that a false report? Have they confirmed it? Did Stanley really have only ten thousand men?"Many found it hard to believe.Where he sat on the throne, George's expression remained cold, showing no joy over the victory at Frost Ridge. Without hesitation, he issued an order."For this battle, Stanley is promoted to lead commander as an exception. Additionally, inform him that if he successfully takes Romenia, he will be granted a marquisate and a fief of ten thousand households."The court was filled with both envy and resentment.Immediately, someone stepped forward to object."Your Majesty! This cannot be! Stanley is already arrogant due to his achievements. If he is truly granted a marquisate, he will become even harder to control!"Another official quickly echoed the concern

The journey from the palace to Radiant Sanctuary took nearly two hours.Steven returned soon."Your Majesty, Queen Wendy is in seclusion for prayer, and I was unable to see her. I only saw her maid, Lily. She said that the queen is in good health and lacks nothing."George frowned."Does she need to seclude herself for prayer?"What was she up to?-At Radiant Sanctuary, Lily's heart pounded wildly.She had tightly shut the doors and windows of the meditation room, fearing someone might discover that the queen wasn't even there."Your Majesty, please return soon..." she muttered.The king was strange—why send someone here? Could it be that he was suspicious?-The war between Nidora and Romenia raged on. Just a few days later, news reached Nidora's Royal City."Report! Your Majesty, Commander Morris has captured Green Valley with just thirty soldiers!"This news stunned the officials."Thirty soldiers?""Your Majesty, this must be false! How could thirty men possibly ta

Under Jane's leadership, Nidora's army marched with overwhelming force. In just one month, they had already captured two cities in Romenia.Such speed caused great panic among the Romenians.Ronald, who had been addicted to wine and pleasure for many years, had now begun to abstain from both, lighting incense and praying instead. At the ancestral rites ceremony, he even shed a tear."If Romenia can survive this crisis, I will work hard to govern from now on!"Just after the ceremony concluded, a scout on horseback came with urgent news."Your Majesty! Kraven City has fallen!"Ronald, who had just descended the steps, nearly lost his balance."Kraven City, a century-old stronghold, has fallen?" He looked up at the sky emotionally. "Heavens, are you trying to destroy Romenia? What have I done wrong?"Kraven City was Romenia's last line of defense. The royal capital was now in grave danger.The war was intense, and so was the political struggle within the Nidoran court. After the

The Southern Battalion was loyal to each other, and they all stepped forward."Commander Saul, for your sake, we are willing to accept punishment, but we don't think we've done anything wrong!""That's right, we've done nothing wrong!""We are the Southern Battalion. Why should we follow the Northern Battalion's rules?"Saul, ever protective of his own men, turned to Jane."They do have a point. Commander Morris, you have your own rules for the Northern Battalion, and each camp has its own…"Jane's gaze hardened."Commander Saul, you're reluctant to punish them, aren't you?"Saul hesitated, then replied, "It's not that I'm reluctant. But if I don't give a reason, I fear the soldiers will be dissatisfied, leading to a loss of morale."Other troop leaders also stepped forward to mediate."Commander Morris, this has gone on long enough. Why cause trouble for Nidora's soldiers over Romenia's civilians?""Commander Saul, just give them a mild punishment. We are about to attack Ro

Behind the mask, Jane's expression stiffened, for in that moment, the girl's face had momentarily transformed into Wendy's.The girl was barely clothed, her body covered in bruises and wounds. Blood streamed from between her legs, and she convulsed violently before her death. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the young commander who had dismounted.Jane silently approached, took off her cloak, and draped it over the girl's body, her eyes filled with an endless coldness.With her last bit of strength, the girl grabbed Jane's hand, digging her nails into the back of her hand, pouring out her hatred. She opened her mouth, and blood spilled from it."Why?"With hatred and confusion, she died. The entire process lasted only a few seconds.Wallace looked up, seeing only a few soldiers scrambling, quickly disappearing after a fleeting glance.Jane closed the girl's eyes, then stood up and walked into the tavern. Wallace followed closely behind and casually locked the door.Inside th

Behind the mask, Jane's eyes gleamed with a hint of crimson. Her master's son—the real Stanley—had been dead for a long time. That was the greatest pain for her master and mistress. Saul deserved to die!Saul immediately scrambled to his feet, staring at Jane in disbelief."How dare you kick me?" he gasped.Other troop leaders stood with Saul. "Stanley, we are your elders, you…""Good kick!" Marissa suddenly stepped forward, radiating an even colder aura.Kennedy, seeing his wife, quickly stepped forward."Marissa, don't make things worse now."Marissa pushed her husband aside, walking to Jane's side. She turned to face the aggressive troop leaders and gave a mocking smile."Our forces eliminate evil and pacify the good. Where have we gone wrong? As for you, you are the ones who cannot distinguish right from wrong. After capturing Kraven City, you resorted to bandit-like behavior, ruining the reputation of our Nidoran soldiers."Stanley, you should send a letter to the king, l

Under the blows of the military cudgel, the sound of miserable cries rose and fell.Meanwhile, Saul's strategist, having traveled among various parties, persuaded a few other generals to go to Stanley to negotiate for peace."Commander Morris, now that the bad apple is gone, please don't blame Saul any further.""The Southern Battalion fought valiantly; it would be a shame not to let them join the army," one of the generals said.Jane leisurely sipped her coffee, her eyes cold and distant. After the punishment ended, she placed the cup down."Proceed with the attack on Romenia's capital. The Southern Battalion will serve in the vanguard and redeem their wrongs through merit."These words left the other troop leaders stunned.-Out of the forty or so men, only Shane survived.Hearing that Stanley was willing to keep the Southern Battalion and even make them the vanguard, Saul breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a great treasure had been obtained.He cupped his hands and s
