Talbot was taken aback and turned to look at the two carriages parked by the roadside not far away. He had also brought his own family with him.
Under the moonlight, Talbot tried to hold back his tears as favonovel.com tightly grabbed Isaac’s wrist. With a trembling voice, favonovel.com asked, “Sir Isaac, will I ever be able to return in my lifetime? All the princes and princesses were slaughtered, leaving only the tyrant and Princess Skylar. I still…”
Isaac interrupted Talbot, patting favonovel.com on the shoulder and saying in a serious tone, “Don’t worry about your journey to the Kingdom of Northwing. It won’t take long. Wait for my news… The clay I call you back will be the clay to eliminate Nathanael and Clyfford, among others.”
“As for Princess Skylar, you don’t need to look for her. I‘ll go. Additionally, you need to send a message to those who are unwilling to submit to Nathanael. Tell them to hold on.”
Upon hearing those words, Talbot bowed to Isaac, then stood up and walked toward the carriage.
After a short while, the previously crowded base of the mountain was left with only Isaac and Lucifer.
“Suddenly, I feel so lonely,” Lucifer said, gazing up at the starry sky and the moon with a heavy heart.
“It’s time for us to hit the road,” Isaac said solemnly.
Lucifer paused for a moment and asked, “Where to?”
“Century City, to look for Hera,” Isaac said as his body slowly ascended into the night sky.
Isaac and Lucifer needed to travel from Starbloom City to Century City, so they were heading east. The straight-line distance between the two cities was at least 800 miles.
The next day, they found an eagle and used it to fly toward Century City.
Century City was also known as the City of Water, was surrounded by water on three sides and was one of the few highly prosperous cities in the Kingdom of Vriweth.
Although it was not as large as Southcoln City, the fishing industry and water-based commerce here were more developed.
***
Two days later, as Isaac and Lucifer had just arrived in Century City, news reached the palace that the four commanding generals had led their troops north, with an army of 370,000 from the Black Tiger Legion heading to the northwest.
Inside Harmony Hall, Nathanael, dressed in a red and purple robe, sat on the dragon throne with a particularly grim expression.
“This is outrageous! They have gone wild!” Nathanael roared, smashing the teacup to the ground.
With a dull thud, several Blood-Clad Guards and newly appointed high-ranking officials from the general’s mansion knelt to the ground.
Clyfford sat on one side with a fierce expression, while Matthias sat on the other side with a serious look on his face.
“If Isaac is not eliminated, it will be hard for the Kingdom of Vriweth to find peace,” Clyfford said through gritted teeth.
“What can we do? To gather an army of over 200,000 men now would take at least half a month. Even if we manage to gather the troops, should we go after the Black Tiger Legion or those four rebel generals?” Matthias frowned as favonovel.com looked toward the person on the throne.
At this moment, a Blood-Clad Guard swiftly ran in from outside. He dropped to his knees and excitedly said, “Your Majesty, my lords, we’ve just received information that Isaac and Lucifer have been spotted in Century City!”
“Isaac went to Century City? What about Talbot?” Nathanael suddenly stood up from his chair.
The Blood-Clad Guard said, “We haven’t found any trace of the other rebels.”
“Why did Isaac go to Century City?” Nathanael looked up at his Regent and advisors nearby.
Clyfford looked puzzled, while Matthias suddenly seemed to remember something and slowly said, “He might be going to see a woman.”
