Madd and Yuvin both looked incredulous. They had won the battle. Why were they still being punished and dismissed from their positions?Before they could react, Zeno's guards rushed forward with spiritual energy-suppressing ropes and tied them up.When the other two guards moved toward Isaac, he suddenly waved, and two flashes of golden light struck the guards' abdomens.They screamed in agony as they were thrown out of the tent.Zeno abruptly stood up, his aura surging. Pointing at Isaac, he exclaimed, "Are you planning a rebellion?"Isaac turned to look at Barlow mockingly.His gaze fell upon Madd and Yuvin. Pointing at them, he said coldly, "As the saying goes, 'When a general is in the field, he doesn't always follow orders.'"You're safe here. But over there, it's full of dangers."If we head directly north to meet up with you, we'll fall into the Black Tiger Legion's trap. The entire force of 100,000 soldiers will be annihilated."By then, how many people will you have l
As the shadow sword descended, spiritual energy erupted. Instantly, over 100 soldiers in front were torn apart, with many dying on the spot and their bodies flung far off to the sides."Barlow Loughty, you beast!" Madd's eyes turned red with rage. With a furious roar, he erupted with spiritual energy. He seized a long sword and charged directly at Barlow to strike him down.Yuvin followed closely behind with reddish eyes as well.They finally resisted because Barlow killed the soldiers who had been following them for many years."You traitors!" Zeno shouted. Gripping a long sword, he leaped forward and charged directly at Madd.Isaac never anticipated things would escalate to this point, but he couldn't stand by and watch as Madd and Yuvin were killed by Zeno.With a shout, he flickered and suddenly appeared in front of Zeno. Wielding the Skyrend Sword, he unleashed a golden beam of light straight toward Zeno's chest."Perfect timing!" Zeno shouted fiercely as he unleashed a pow
Below, the 200,000 soldiers simultaneously looked up at the sky. They watched as Zeno rapidly fell from the air and crashed heavily onto the ground."Commander Schmid!" Barlow roared hoarsely, leaping to Zeno's side.Seeing the blood hole in Zeno's chest, he reached out to check for the former's breath. The next second, he froze, staggered back, and fell to the ground."You wretched criminal! How dare you..."Kill him!" Barlow's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Isaac, who was floating in mid-air.The surroundings were completely silent. Nobody dared to respond, let alone take any action.Unlike Barlow and Madd, who had different paths, Barlow was promoted step by step from within the general's mansion in the Kingdom of Vriweth.Whenever Zeno took a step forward, he followed right behind. He was Zeno's most loyal subordinate.In Barlow's mind, Zeno was the strongest person in the world apart from Eldorado. But he ended up dead in Isaac's hands.Madd, Yuvin, and another comm
Isaac then added, "I suggest you guys go out and take good care of your troops. March southeast into the Kingdom of Northwing and return to your homes."Of course, at least half of the soldiers might die on the way."Upon hearing his words, the three of them felt a jolt in their hearts. It'd be a disaster if they returned in such a defeated manner. Their commander also weighed heavily on them.It was unlikely that Eldorado would wipe out their clans. But at the very least, their families would be implicated.Madd and Yuvin were well aware that the soldiers outside had followed Isaac to victory and had witnessed Isaac slay Zeno.Everyone was now shouting and hoping for Isaac to become the commander. Apart from Barlow's 60,000 subordinates, the remaining hundreds of thousands of people were all cheering for Isaac."Mr. Garten, as you said, 'When a general is in the field, he doesn't always follow orders.'"Right now, our most important task is to resist the Black Tiger Legion."I
Madd explained to Isaac that military intelligence was transmitted in a special way to Northsnow City, the closest military intelligence office to the Kingdom of Northwing. From there, the intelligence was forwarded to the general's mansion in the Royal City, where the deputy general responsible for internal affairs would then pass it on to Eldorado."What's the fastest time it can get to His Majesty?""About three days, and the latest would be within five days.""Alright, take down the next part of my message carefully and relay it to Northsnow City," Isaac nodded and said.Beads of sweat subtly rolled down both sides of Madd's cheeks; he seemed to have a sense of foreboding.Isaac slowly began to speak, "I am Isaac. Zeno is dead, and only 200 thousand soldiers remain in Black Desert. If you don't want Elon to break through the Kingdom of Northwing and march south with his army, we must act now."Within ten days, safely escort my mother and the others to Earl Beischel's mansion
"Outrageous, this is ridiculous. Your Majesty, his mother should be executed immediately, and it must be done in public with the most severe punishment!" Clyfford raised his head and said sternly."Wasn't it you who confidently assured me that Isaac would be at your mercy? That's because you had captured Isaac's mother to use as leverage, right? You killed Isaac's mother. He's far away in the vast Black Desert, with an army of 200 thousand troops and several generals under his command. What do you think he might do?"Clyfford could sense Eldorado's anger. He immediately bowed his head and said, "Then please, Your Majesty, grant me permission to lead a team to Black Desert and eliminate Isaac to reclaim control of the troops!""Foolish! Do you understand the last thing Isaac said? If we don't follow his instructions in ten days, we'll see what happens. Do you really think his 200 thousand troops can threaten me? He said to wait and see, it's very likely that he would defect to the en
Hearing what Skylar said, Clyfford squinted his eyes while Talbot looked over at Evie in shock.What was going on here?"I have granted permission, so let's proceed according to what Skylar suggested," Eldorado said sleepily.Skylar glanced at Talbot seriously and said, "Lord Stackhouse, you must understand that the life of Isaac's mother is closely tied to mine. I hope you will consider this carefully!"Talbot's eye twitched uncontrollably due to his helplessness. In a flustered manner, he nodded and said, "Of course. I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety, Princess."At this moment, Talbot felt extremely frustrated inside. He stole a cautious glance at Clyfford and then gritted his teeth.In two hours, Skylar would depart for the Kingdom of Northwing, accompanied by Great General Neufwill and ten skilled warriors sent by the general's mansion.Once she arrived at the Kingdom of Northwing, she would be in touch with Isaac and look for an opportunity to enter the
Isaac's eyes instantly narrowed.Madd looked completely confused. How on earth did Evie end up here? No matter how hard he tried to figure it out, he just couldn't wrap his head around it."The biggest issue right now is that the Princess and her group can't enter the Black Desert. Scouts have reported that there are Black Tiger Legion's sentries everywhere in the south."If too much time passes and the Black Tiger Legion finds out that the Princess has arrived near the border, it could be very dangerous."Isaac remained silent and stepped out of the tent.When he looked up, he saw that the flag above the camp had been changed to display a huge symbol of "dragon," fluttering ominously in the wind.Isaac furrowed his brow and pointed to the banner above. "Why was the flag changed?""Ah, I see the main flag used to have the emblem of a Zeno. Commander, you...""Change it back and use the commander flag of Zeno once again."Madd was confused, but he nodded and instructed his men
