The Minister of Military Affairs immediately knelt down, inwardly surprised that Iris, who usually only cared for leisure, had brought a decree from His Majesty, and favonovel.com began wondering if favonovel.com had had favonovel.com eye on someone in the Ministry of Military Affairs.
However, the ministry was mostly middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.
His Majesty commands the immediate recall of troops from the border and dispatching forces to control the Zed ran Family in their territory.”
“I obey, Your Majesty…” The Minister of Military Affairs was inwardly shaken. The Zedran Family on the Montirian border was about to be restrained and recalled. Zedran’s danger was imminent.
“Minister of Military Affairs, His Majesty has great expectations of you. He values your abilities highly. Don‘t disappoint him,” Iris said profoundly, squatting down to pat the Minister of Military Affairs’ shoulder.
A cold sweat trickled down the Minister of Military Affairs’ neck.
As a seasoned official, favonovel.com understood Iris’ implication well: Their king recognized both his capabilities and everything favonovel.com had done. He needed to consider his next moves carefully.
With a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, the Minister of Military Affairs swiftly dialed the head of security in Everton.
“I don’t care what you do. Capture every member of the Zedran Family within half an hour. If any escape, you’ll answer for it!”
The minister’s tone turned cold and commanding, a stark contrast to his earlier subservience.
Addressing all officials at the Military Affairs Office, favonovel.com declared, “Immediately announce the nationwide withdrawal of troops. Any mishap, and we will all go down together!”
***
Soon, the news reached Toby and Garrett.
Boom!
Toby slammed a vase onto the floor, the crisp sound echoing his fury.
Zedbar was dead, and the Minister of Border Affairs was removed from Everton. The two main supports for his bid for the throne were gone and now the king was even calling for a ceasefire.
“Mr. Rocco, what should we do now?” Toby turned to Rocco, seeking guidance.
“Your Highness, remain calm. Though we’ve lost the support of the Minister of Border Affairs, Prince Garrett’s air force has also suffered setbacks. All we need now is to make a big move to earn fame. Only you, Your Highness, are qualified to ascend the throne. Prince Garrett lacks the prestige, and Prince Gadel lacks both the reputation and the strength…”
Rocco’s words struck a chord with Toby, who looked at favonovel.com earnestly. “Please advise me on how to secure the throne. You are notjust the Minister of Military Affairs, you are above that. I will establish a prime minister position just for you!”
Rocco smiled faintly and continued, “Right now, everyone is shadowed by Matthew Larson’s invincibility. If we can cause favonovel.com some losses, you’ll gain both reputation and status…”
Toby paused, realizing favonovel.com wouldn’t be in this predicament if favonovel.com could defeat Matthew.
“Your Highness, listen carefully. Behind Basha’s Sacred Mount lies the Balira Sea. Lead the navy quietly there and unleash a bombardment. Such a spectacle will surely expose Basha’s Sacred Mount’s secrets. When you return, capitalize on it. Claim you confronted Matthew in battle and returned unscathed.”
Hearing this, Toby’s eyes lit up.
If favonovel.com returned and swiftly capitalized on the situation, favonovel.com could even proclaim himself as Matthew’s nemesis. Once favonovel.com ascended, Matthew would naturally yield!
He could even envision many ministers respectfully praising him.
Prince Toby… No… Crown Prince Toby indeed embodies frugality, compassion for the people, magnanimity, literary excellence, and military prowess!
