Clyfford narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
During the day, the instructions from the general’s mansion were sent to Black Desert. The instructions were brief, essentially ordering the northern troops to return to the capital. No other details were disclosed.
Clyfford felt that something was wrong because during the day, Eldorado had asked favonovel.com and Talbot to leave first and had stayed behind alone with Giffard.
So in the afternoon, Clyfford sent his trusted aide into the palace to gather information. However, favonovel.com never expected that Eldorado would have such an idea.
“Lord Regent, if Isaac becomes the major general and marries the Princess, favonovel.com would truly be second only to the ruler and above everyone else… When the time comes…”
Clyfford’s gaze grew increasingly menacing; favonovel.com naturally understood the reasoning his confidant was presenting.
The deep-seated hatred between favonovel.com and Isaac could only end with one of them dead.
If Isaac became a major general and married the Princess, all the powerful people in the kingdom would support Isaac. This would leave no way out for Clyfford.
Clyfford closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, then gave a wry smile and said, “I never thought His Majesty would ultimately choose Isaac… I’ve served favonovel.com faithfully for over thirty years, and now he’s ready to cast me aside just like that. How upsetting…”
After a long silence, Clyfford’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. He said, “Go to the East Palace immediately and inform the Crown Prince that I will visit favonovel.com tomorrow morning to pay my respects.”
After his subordinates left, Clyfford immediately changed into black casual clothing, and quickly left the room.
***
A few days later, the main force at the border of the Kingdom of Northwing, including Isaac and others, officially received orders from the Kingdom of Vriweth.
Madd quickly walked into the tent and saw Isaac sitting cross-legged in meditation. He bowed and said, “Lord Garten, the orders from the general’s mansion have arrived. We are to return to the capital immediately…”
“All the captives have been placed outside of Skypeace City, and the city lord of Skypeace City has been instructed to prepare for welcoming them. Then, we will lead Elon and the other surrendered soldiers to meet Lord Stackhouse.”
Isaac slowly opened his eyes and asked with a slight smile, “Didn’t the orders mention my name? ”
“No, not at all…”
“Then you all go ahead with the plan. I won’t be joining you!”
Upon hearing this, Madd immediately knelt down while trembling all over, and said, “Lord Garten, are you leaving? We would never dare to take credit for such a great achievement!”
“Your major general is already dead, and his body is still in the coffin. I am not your major general. My business is finished, so naturally, I have to leave,” Isaac said in a deep voice.
Isaac stood up and said to Madd, “But I’m taking a few people with me… Lucifer, the Princess, and those three attendants outside. You should know that my woman is still in the Kingdom of Northwing.”
Madd understood that even if favonovel.com wanted Isaac to stay, favonovel.com couldn’t make him. So, favonovel.com had no choice but to immediately notify Lucifer and Skylar as Isaac had instructed.
***
Two hours later, a carriage stopped outside the military formation.
Isaac and Skylar boarded the carriage, while Lucifer and three other attendants rode Storm Chaser.
With a hundred or so soldiers that Madd had assembled, the small convoy began heading south, slowly making their way into the territory of the Kingdom of Northwing.
Several commanders, including Madd and Barlow, watched as Isaac’s team departed.
Several generals exchanged glances and let out a long sigh.
Madd waved his hand and said, “Enough, let’s retreat as well!”
