Chapter 511 The Situation
Turning around, Lin Wanrong found himself facing a beautiful female general. She wore cloud-stepping boots and a silver-white battle robe. Her figure resembled a willow swaying in the wind, graceful and exquisite. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes shimmered like reflective pools of autumn water. A touch of rosy fatigue colored her porcelain-like cheeks. She gazed intently at Lin Wanrong, and it was hard to tell whether she was s...

Chapter 510 The Art of Forging Soldiers
It was rather peculiar. Ever since they had left the capital, an unrelenting spring rain had persisted, turning the roads into a muddy mess. The late spring chill, accompanied by cold winds and rain, made it feel as though they were back in the depths of winter. Marching in such weather was disheartening, not just for the common soldiers but also for the battle-hardened veterans. It seemed like an ominous sign sent by the heavens....

The sky was still dark, a gentle spring rain pattering against the loquat trees in the courtyard, making a rustling sound. The lantern light inside the tower was dim, and several young ladies had already risen, silently packing his travel bag for him. The atmosphere was unspeakably stifling.
Luo Ning helped him put on his inner garment and armor, then looked him up and down before carefully straightening the armor plates.

"...Couldn't I have learned the female steps as well?"
"Ha-ha. Like me?"
"Yes."
Kishiar's eyes swirled, sensing the implied meaning behind Yuder's words that he seemed so certain even without hearing anything other than the fact that he could dance.
"Well, I doubt that. If we dance together, you can quickly tell that much. Dancing reveals more about your partner than you'd think."
Finishing his sentence as if singing a song, the...

Following Kishiar's solemn yet playful command, Nathan Zuckerman hoisted the violin he had been holding onto his shoulder. One would not expect someone who usually wielded a sword to look at ease with a musical instrument. Yet, he appeared surprisingly stable and proficient.
Upon seeing this, Yuder looked on pensively, prompting Kishiar to break into a smile.
"Surprised? I asked Nathan to accompany me because it seemed the most convenient."

"Yuder, do you really intend to go through with it?"
"We're talking about the imperial palace, of all places... Could this be one of your usual jests?"
"Even if it's under the Commander's orders, the situation here is different than in the West…"
Yuder found himself trapped among the swarm of members who rushed to him as soon as Kishiar had left. Although they spoke in hushed voices, the atmosphere was far from quiet; with each one chimin...

"What, you already know?!" Lord Lin almost jumped up in astonishment. "That's impossible. I've been very careful about keeping this a secret. How could anyone know except for me and Gao Qiu—"
Suddenly, Lord Lin slapped his forehead in regret. It must have been that young girl on the mountain who snitched. No wonder she willingly returned the musket; she had planned this all along.

"Before returning to our regular routine, there are a few matters I must inform you of."
The atmosphere, which had been lightened by a joke, suddenly grew quiet. Kishiar scanned the faces of his attentive Cavalry members, his eyes brimming with a confidence that was incomparable to before.
"Firstly, our Cavalry has two new temporary members. Those of you who have been to the West will already be familiar with them. Additionally, we have one more ...

As the furnace crackled and blazed, Yuder's once-hazy mind gradually cleared.
Lifting his sweat-soaked eyelids, Yuder took a deep breath, exhaling the remnants of lingering pleasure that still resided in the pit of his stomach. While this didn't completely remove the sensation from his lower half, it definitely subdued the heat to some extent.
"Aren't you thirsty?"
The man embracing Yuder while they lay face to face softly asked.

In the waiting room to which he had returned, Kishiar was elegantly sprawled on a sofa. He had set up a small drink table and was engaged in animated conversation with a few merchants.

"Where are you going?" Gao Qiu's voice tinged with urgency upon hearing the news. "Do you need me to secretly deploy troops for protection? Is an army of 100,000 sufficient?"
An army of 100,000? Ridiculous. Master Lin snorted dismissively, "What I am about to do is of the utmost secrecy within the Great Hua Empire. Aside from you and me, no one else is allowed to know. Should anyone dare to pry—Gao Qiu, I trust y...

Kiolle snatched the note from Yuder's hand and shouted. He seemed to have lost even the basic sense of caution that might prevent his voice from being heard outside.
Yuder calmly asked, committing the information he had gathered to memory, "What rumor are you talking about?"
"The rumor that you've been engaging in all sorts of disreputable acts with Duke Peletta in the West!"

Whenever he had personally met Kiolle, inconvenient things had happened, such as his arm being injured by Nahan, or unexpected second gender manifestations suddenly beginning. On top of that, unlike the imperial palace where Kiolle needed to be cautious, this place was as good as Diarca family territory. Even a cowardly dog could turn into a courageous lion in its own den.

The moment they stepped into the shop entrance, which was visible from anywhere, all gazes converged on the two individuals.
Yuder never quite got used to those stares, no matter how many times he experienced them. Kishiar, on the other hand, seemed unfazed and shrugged it off with a smile.

The morale of the government troops soared as they vigorously pursued the retreating forces for ten miles, scattering and largely annihilating them.
