Thousands of aralloped forhile the soldiers raised their shi+ swords nobody could renified attack, but Gaya didn’t even bat an eyelid Instead, she ruffled her ring finger on the harp strings
“—!”
In an instant, the entire world becaround sunk in abruptly as though a gigantic object had crashed down frole Cavalry stood before Gaya any more In the blink of an eye, the shapeless sound wave had s lady stood to her feet and the powder fluttered in the gentle breeze
“Ugly, weak, and not worth a round covered in white powder before her She snorted and left with her harp in hands
Everything had ended for her
But it had just begun for the others
It was afternoon
General Dade lowered his gaze to the Cloud Su breath to calm his nerves He observed the soldiers on the Fortress walls They had pulled back their bowstrings fully and were ai at his men However, there weren’t anytheir intentions to move out This was fine for General Dade because his mission wasn’t to take down the Cloud Sue price to take down even this tattered Fortress Moreover, it was the ‘Red Fox’ Garcia taking charge of the Fortress and General Dade knew the best ways to deal with a cunning person like hies and ensure that the soldiers wouldn’t leave the Fortress
Bu, even so, the explosions and thick billows of s beard and his stubborn, stone carved-like angular face glooh he trusted his subordinates, the thick, dark seneral Noof the enemies
Besides, no matter how many enemies there were, it was rather apparent that they had discovered his true intentions However, he didn’t kno much manpower that rascal, Garcia, had dispatched to stop his 3000 Cavalryh even if he sent everyone
Originally, Dade had nothing to worry about the current situation According to his battle plan, hisin deep Paphield by noon and he would receive a signal to retreat ih things weren’t that simple He tried to contact his men, but the Remote Communication Crystal was an expensive iteeneral like him
It’s afternoon already Just two to three hoursto the battle plan…
General Dade shook his head and scanned the surroundings before returning to his campsite “Garcia seems so idle It seems like I must apply more pressure on him…”
“I don’t think that’s necessary, Old General”
Suddenly, a carefree voice sounded from behind him General Dade instantly knew that the voice was hostile and he instinctively reached for his sword However, the assassin was rabbed his sword hilt, but a dagger had pushed against his throat Any slight movements from him and the razor-sharp blade would undoubtedly tear his throat
“Who… Who… are you?” General Dade’s body stiffened entirely
He possessed strength in the Elite Stage and he had no lack of powerful bodyguards around hier than him since he was able to sneak up on hiive up resisting because he knew that the assassin had the strength of at least the Master Stage and it was iless struggle, not only would he die even quicker, but they would also be unable to capture this ed to sneak into his ca discovered, it proved that he could slip away equally well from their encirclement If he reacted hastily, there would be no purpose other than losing his life
“Now isn’t the time for self-introductions, Old General I have a request Order your men to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Cloud Su that you can easily accohteous Angel to resort to such evil, shaenuine hu race Indeed, perhaps Royal Highness Lydia dislikes such matic bunch… Moreover, I don’t think that this is vicious Sacrificing you is better than sending that many soldiers to their death for the sake of the brainless ht?”
“…” General Dade fell into silence
As one of the generals for the Southern Legion frontline, he knew the situation by the rear at the tip of his fingers He had heard about the incidents involving the conflagration and the Undead Arhly disappointed in the Reforh both incidents were eventually resolved, he had seen the operations between the i hard for the Southerners as they claimed, they protected their benefits and revealed their shaion supported the Reformist Party Apart from the imprisoned officers that objected independence frodom, the other officers that were devoted to the Reformist Party all had different standpoints Some of them fancied the authority, position, and wealth that the Reforiven them They abandoned their pride and honor as military officials and kneeled before the s Some of them had the same idea as the Refordo officers were threatened and they had no choice but to succued to the second group He was a true Southerner and had grown up listening to the Refor’s Party was as the Reformist Party described, ferocious, violent, and dictatorial Furthero left him stunned This hy he was determined to join their forces after the Reformist Party declared independence
But now, he was utterly disappointed after witnessing the Reforht that they would choose to mobilize the frontline forces to curb the Undead Army’s threat After all, no est threat at the reedy Southern Parliarave mistake in their decision… They had actually sent inexperienced city guards to battle the Undead Aruards died in the battle and General Dade’s young brother was one of the increasingly disappointed and hopeless in the Southern Parliament He knehy the Southern Parliauards to face the terrifying creatures instead However, the Southern Parliament’s statements to them had been entirely different They said that this was for the sake of the people in order to save them from the despotic rule so they could leave a peaceful life But now? They abandoned their people and protected their own benefits!
