“Everyone, we should secretly search for Prince Gadel. Since the late king’s passing, everything has been dictated solely by Iris,” a minister stood up and said resolutely.
“I think that’s a good idea.”
“Agreed. We should send our personal guards to search privately.”
Unbeknownst to Iris, who was enjoying herself in the tent, favonovel.com lies were slowly surfacing due to favonovel.com own incompetence.

Meanwhile, in Seraphis, Matthew had already removed his Ghost Mask and was resting with the Feather Army in a forest.
He looked at the leader of the Feather Army and asked, “What are the casualties among the Feather Army?”
“We lost 86 brothers,” the leader replied respectfully. “The remaining troops have fully recovered under your array, sir!”
Matthew nodded and looked at the list handed over by the leader.
The names were freshly noted. Orville McGraw, Buck Marlow, Elmer Hatfield, and more.
Matthew’s expression grew somber. In war, casualties were inevitable, but it still weighed heavily on him.
“Provide 200 thousand to each of their families as compensation. Additionally, make sure they are visited during festivals and holidays, and the cost of gifts should be covered.”
The leader nodded and, seeing Matthew’s heavy mood, said with a sheepish smile, “Sir, we were all just ordinary folks. It’s thanks to you that we can dominate the battlefield. You need not blame yourself; the guys would be content knowing their families are well.”
Matthew sighed. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. With command over 10 thousand Feather Army troops, the well-being of these men was his responsibility.
Suddenly, Matthew’s brows furrowed as favonovel.com detected an intrusion in his perception, and the number of intruders seemed significant.
Matthew signaled to the leader, who immediately sobered up and signaled to all members of the Feather Army.
In just a minute, the entire Feather Army had set up cover positions, ensuring immediate response and evasion in case of enemy contact.
The most crucial aspect of a military force was its ability to rally and obey orders, and the Feather Army was among the world’s top in these areas.
Matthew lightly pressed the tips of his shoes and leaped onto a tree that three people could barely embrace, silently observing the forest ahead.

In the forest, Alton, leading thousands of subordinates, cautiously observed the area. But soon, favonovel.com became puzzled.
“Something’s not right. I clearly heard noises from this direction earlier. Now, there’s nothing…”
After the destruction of Thorneville, Alton had sought refuge with Tigre of the Durham Family. Tigre also admired his reticence and trained favonovel.com vigorously, even assigning favonovel.com a force of ten thousand to serve the Durham Family.
When Alton heard that the Montiria Army had surrounded Basha’s Sacred Mount, favonovel.com realized it was an excellent opportunity to seek revenge on Matthew and approached Tigre with his plan. However, the Durham Family had strictly prohibited any provocation of Matthew after learning of his breakthrough to Grandmaster.
From the oldest elder of the Durham Family to the dogs in the yard, everyone had a picture of Matthew and would slap anyone who dared to mention him.
Consequently, Tigre firmly rejected Alton’s proposal and advised favonovel.com to stay away from Matthew.
Undeterred, Alton decided to seize the opportunity and quietly left behind Tigre‘s back.
Fearing a leak, Alton brought only his personal guards, whom favonovel.com had recruited and trained during his time with the Durham Family, loyal and trustworthy men.
This was the only route back to Seraphis. Alton, his eyes flashing with determination, ignored the insects in the forest.
I’ll be a Dutchman if Larson doesn’t come this way!
