Common tricks of palace coups…
“Lord Garten, as long as you kill the leader of these rebels, it will be enough. The rest of the soldiers are from Southern Sky Kingdom and were merely coerced by the leader… I brought the Crown Prince’s seal. If the rebels’ leader dies, the remaining soldiers will certainly surrender,” the messenger spoke.
After listening, Isaac wasted no time. He drew his Skyrend Sword and pointed directly at the general hiding among the soldiers.
This general was sly. He was sending his men to die while favonovel.com stayed safely in the back.
“How dare you!” The general snapped back, startled by the sword aimed at him.
“What is there to be afraid of? You’re quite lucky. With such meager strength, you’re actually worthy of me using the Skyrend Sword. Consider it an honor for having offended me,” Isaac replied coldly.
Without another word, Isaac moved.
At his level, how could a Divine Phase general possibly stand against him?
Moreover, that general had provoked him, causing favonovel.com to use even his newly acquired skills. His sword flashed with blinding speed, reaching the general In the blink of an eye.
The general’s pupils narrowed in shock. He never expected Isaac to be this fast.
The speed was beyond human comprehension, clearly not within his cognition.
“How could this…” He barely uttered three words before his head was severed.
“The rest of the soldiers are yours to deal with. I’m heading to Royal City.”
Isaac left the message and vanished northward in a flash.
“Yes, Lord Garten!”
“Lord Garten, please be careful of the rebels on your way. If it’s not absolutely necessary, please…”
Two messengers knelt in the direction Isaac had departed, showing respect.
***
In the northern part of Firegate City, dozens of military camps stood divided, clearly marking the ongoing battle between two armies.
Isaac passed through Firegate City, which had been occupied by rebels.
“My name is Isaac. The Crown Prince is looking for me.”
Isaac appeared above the battlefield, not wanting to waste any words or time. His voice projected directly through spiritual energy.
A few simple words, amplified by the spiritual energy were spread out loud and allowed everyone below to hear favonovel.com clearly.
“It’s Lord Garten!”
The generals were overjoyed. The rebels on the other hand stood on high alert.
“Lord Garten, I am ashamed to admit that we can no longer defend the southern part of Drania. Our Royal City is in turmoil, teetering on the brink of collapse,” Cronus flew over to Isaac, bowed respectfully, and said.
Isaac looked down and saw that the rebel forces were overwhelming. The orthodox were clearly at a significant disadvantage.
“Where is the Crown Prince?” Isaac asked.
“The Crown Prince is surrounded by rebels in the Royal City from East and West. We are in the South! Nate Petrova, the general, is defending the northern side, but they are also at a disadvantage, which means that the Royal City is essentially surrounded on all sides,” Cronus responded.
“I have no interest in getting involved in your domestic political squabbles.” Isaac felt irritated. To him, this seemed nothing more than a power struggle.
Although lives were at stake, it was far from the catastrophic level that the messenger exaggerated.
“Lord Garten, this is not a political struggle, but the massacre of innocent civilians in our country by a demon… A few days ago, in the four major cities and the Royal City of Drania, more than half of the soldiers died in a very gruesome manner, and even His Majesty was captured by the demon…”
“The body of His Majesty was found along with some belongings. The murderer is believed to be from a foreign clan, described as corrupt and greedy and it’s very likely they will strike again… At a time like this, the second prince has rebelled… Lord Garten, this really is not a mere power struggle.”
