Chapter 52 (1/2)

”Boy, howthese past few days? How much of the famous historical Art of War have you learned? Don't tell s? Did the little girl not tell you about the war in the Northwest? Don't you kno to think using your brain?”

”Let dom who just defeated the Empire's Army of 200,000 in one swoop, you have now occupied the Northwest and you are aware of the Eth as well as its inability to mobilize more soldiers in a short tiion is now vulnerable to the Great Moon Kingdoic location in the Northwest, Oldenburg Why would they assemble so many cavalries there? Don't tell raze? To the Great Moon Kingdom, the rest of the Northwest Territory is undefended Don't tell me they will not be tempted to attack?

”The Northwest Legion is already finished! The fact that it was not completely destroyed is already a miracle from God! Just now in the audience hall, did the emperor say he wanted to send more reinforcements? Did he say he wanted to dispatch more soldiers? Idiot!”

Rody's face ied and he could not help but frown ”Perhaps the emperor would send reinforcements After all, Northwest is also part of the Empire…”

”Aah!” Andy's tone of voice sounded as if he was sneering ”Dispatch troops? If the Empire could do that, ould the edom? It is not that the Empire will not send reinforcements, it is that they have no soldiers to send as reinforce would it take towould it take to asse participants? Even if the eainst the cavalry, how many days would it take to send out troops from the Imperial Capital?”

Rody ih speed with calculated thoughts

Not dispatching any troops? Then there could only be one explanation! The emperor received the envoy to delay the attack! But because the envoy was attacked, it would seeer an option Or rather, the Great Moon Kingdom had never really wanted peace The envoy was just sent over to deceive the public Otherwise, what is the point of asse more soldiers? For a military parade?

Since war is inevitable, or rather since defeat in the war is inevitable, then thereme

Who were the people the emperor hated the most in the Empire? Rody finally understood that the ehthe lord The e to take this opportunity to shoot down the Tulip Family's foundation!

After dispatching hier be a ion could withstand the Great Moon Kingdom's cavalry They would most likely be defeated and Rody would be killed in the process Even if Rody so undefeated would be tarnished and they would lose the respect they once had It was the perfect solution to the internal threat for His Majesty the Emperor!

Rody started to sweat and whispered, ”But… the emperor would not sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers in the Northwest Legion to achieve this goal right? That price is too big!”

Andy's voice turned unfeeling and gri! Since as there never a bloody river in a fight for iets to keep his poould he care about the lives of tens of thousands of people? Even if the Ee to sacrifice the Northwest Legion, the Northwest Legion only just needs to be defeated and escape Then his objective would already be achieved! Although, to the people in the Empire you are just a special envoy meant for show, other people out there would not see it that way The world would think that the Tulip Faion would be the fault of the Tulip Family! If I was the e the mission as His Majesty's special envoy, and execute you Others would also have nothing to say!”

These words made Rody's heart pound wildly

Rody thought to himself and did not discuss this with Nicole With a bitter feeling and knowing that he was actually not a particularly resourceful person, how could he find a solution in such a short amount of time?

After a long ti as you pro, I will help you to solve this problem!”

”What?” Rody's heart stirred Although he was originally an honest person, these past few days Rody had been influenced and now had the ability to scheme Now that this skeleton has woken him up, come to think of it, he must have a solution already

”Tonight! It ht! You must sneak into the White Tower Go to that wall you saw this o in to look around,” Andy's voice was soft but resolute

”Fine!” Rody, without thinking ireed because he had no choice The behavior of the mysterious skeleton could not be comprehended It was also unknown as to how many secrets the skeleton possessed Since it was able to wake him up, it must have a solution

Rody patiently waited until evening Nicole did not visit hiel to serve Rody dinner

Late that night when the ot up from his bed He quietly put on his warrior's clothes He hesitated for a ave hiht saber before he quietly left through the

In fact, he was not clever at leaving without being noticed Several guards actually saw hi Master Seth also used to slip out in the ure kept their cal hito his old self after so many days

Rody knew the way to the academy The streets were devoid of pedestrians at that hour He only needed to avoid the night patrols Without any trouble, he ran towards to the acade while
