Lucius continued to persuade Matthew, who remained unmoved.
“Besides, the other side will surely launch a fierce attack on you once you leave the Sacred Mount. You might be able to return to Skargness safely, but what about the others?”
This finally struck Matthew’s soft spot. He wasn’t confident favonovel.com could ensure everyone’s safe return. However, favonovel.com also didn’t want to cause disaster for the Sacred Mount.
Lucius, being astute, immediately saw through his thoughts.
“Just stay peacefully on the Sacred Mount. Rest assured, the Basha’s Sacred Mount has stood for hundreds of years and naturally has its methods. Moreover, if we let you go back, my precious daughter will surely insist on going with you to protect you. I have to think about my daughter, even if not for you!”
Matthew knew Lucius’ mention of Ivy was just an excuse. They could easily stop favonovel.com if they wanted to. He turned to look at the crown prince, who pouted and shrugged his shoulders.
The meaning was clear. He would make the decision.
After a few seconds of contemplation and hesitation, Matthew finally nodded. “I feel deeply guilty for bringing trouble to Sacred Mount…”
This was meant as a word of gratitude, and the atmosphere was lifted.
However, Lucius didn’t care about these formalities. He raised his hand and slapped Matthew heavily on the shoulder, making Matthew grimace in pain.
This act was somewhat personal.
“Cut the nonsense! The entire Sacred Mount will be yours and lvy’s in the future anyway! Rest assured, Matt. If anyone dares to challenge Sacred Mount, we will make them pay!”
After saying this, his laughing face turned stern.

Outside the mountain, Zedran, seeing that Alexis was ready, immediately made the next move.
Time was of the essence, and favonovel.com had to pressure the Sacred Mount quickly. Such a large-scale military operation must have already been reported to Everton.
Although Rocco had verbally promised to buy favonovel.com some time, one could never be too careful.
“Come!”
When the adjutant entered the camp, Zedran whispered a few words in his ear.
“Do this… And then do that…”
***
At noon, Lucius received a letter of explanation, and upon reading its contents, his face darkened, and then favonovel.com laughed out loud.
“I didn’t expect Basha’s Sacred Mount to have a day where we are bullied!”
“They lost their people and want to search Sacred Mount. Do they think there is no one in Basha’s Sacred Mount?”
“If that Zedran has the guts, let favonovel.com step into Sacred Mount territory. I’ll definitely deal with him!”
Zedran was not surprised by this reply. It was just a probe, after all.
Seeing the firm attitude of the Sacred Mount, favonovel.com didn’t hesitate and directly started pressuring them.
“Tell them this, either they hand over Matthew’s wife, or we will flatten the Sacred Mount!”
In an instant, everyone on the Sacred Mount was filled with righteous indignation and went to Lucius, wanting to go down the mountain and twist off Zedran’s head!
Yet, all were stopped by Lucius. He didn’t know where the cunning Zedran was hiding in the phalanx, and there was only one chance to strike.
On the other side, the news of Zedran’s military deployment soon reached Everton.
When King Gawain I heard the news, favonovel.com was somewhat dumbfounded.
Is favonovel.com planning to stake everything to pave the way for the fourth son?
“Your Majesty, it’s Prince Toby!”
King Gawain I frowned slightly. “Let favonovel.com in…”
This kid never comes to the palace unless there is something to benefit from…
“Greetings, King Gawain I!”
“Rise…” King Gawain I’s tone was very calm, with no emotional fluctuation. “Speak. You came so proactively this time. What benefit are you after?”
Toby was momentarily stunned, then bowed. “I just wanted to see how you’re doing…”
