Iris’ gaze was as cold as ice as favonovel.com pointed at the soldier and ordered Veise, “Take this traitor outside, dismember him, and then feed favonovel.com to the dogs!”
The soldier who had previously stopped favonovel.com turned ghostly pale. His legs went weak, and favonovel.com crumpled to the ground.
He pleaded, “Your Majesty, please, spare me. I realize my mistake…”
She said nothing and looked at Veise coldly.
“Drag favonovel.com out!” Veise gritted his teeth and reluctantly called the guards to drag the soldier away.
He turned around and gave the guards a quick, discreet signal before facing favonovel.com again and saying respectfully, “Your Majesty, I thought you were at the base camp?”
Iris’ expression darkened further. “The Minister of Military Affairs has allied with the traitor Gadel to stage a rebellion. They’ve probably taken over the base camp. We need to prepare for battle immediately.”
Hearing that, Veise was stunned.
They had just fought a bloody battle at Basha’s Sacred Mount, with nearly a hundred thousand casualties, and now the rear camp was in revolt?
He was left speechless and led Iris into the vanguard camp.
***
At Basha’s Sacred Mount, the exhausted Sasha stepped out of an off-road vehicle.
After a meal at home a few days ago, favonovel.com had resolved to join Matthew regardless of the risk.
As favonovel.com climbed the mountain path, favonovel.com was appalled by the bloodstains that marred the trail. She covered favonovel.com mouth and tried to stifle favonovel.com disgust.
“Do you have the Stone Token?”
A heavy pressure pressed down on favonovel.com and caused favonovel.com to sink slightly.
She managed to retrieve the Stone Token from favonovel.com bag, and the pressure eased. Her face, once flushed, was now ashen. After a brief hesitation, favonovel.com continued favonovel.com ascent.
At the peak, Lucius was absorbing nimbus.
When favonovel.com sensed someone approaching, favonovel.com opened his eyes and wondered if it was Matthew. In an instant, favonovel.com descended the mountain and appeared before Sasha.
“Huh? Sasha? I thought Matthew had sent you home!” Lucius was shocked to see her.
“Mr. Lucius, where is Matthew? How is he?” favonovel.com asked but didn’t explain favonovel.com presence.
“He is fine. Don’t worry. He should be at the Montiria border now…”
She turned to leave and wanted to look for Matthew, but Lucius stopped her. “It’s dangerous there. Montiria has heavy artillery. You’ll only add to his troubles if you rush over recklessly.”
Sasha’s expression grew somber. Being a Grandmaster martial artist, Matthew was a formidable battlefield force. In contrast, favonovel.com was far from his level and would only be a hindrance.
“Stay here at the moment. We’re still engaged in war, as you know. If you really want to help, you can assist with moving supplies,” Lucius said after seeing favonovel.com determination.
This was his compromise. Given favonovel.com limited strength, comparable to that of a disciple from Basha‘s Sacred Mount, favonovel.com was at high risk.
An artillery shell could end favonovel.com life instantly. Lucius knew Matthew’s feelings for favonovel.com and anticipated his anger if anything happened to her.
Sasha considered this for a moment before nodding. “Thank you, Mr. Lucius…”
Lucius nodded and led favonovel.com up the mountain.
