"But I thought you, Yuder, being able to meet him directly, might have heard something more detailed."
Yuder scanned the surroundings. The training ground was nearly deserted, the dawn training period nearing its end.
It had been about three days since Kishiar had announced his plan to deploy the Cavalry to accomplish two tasks at once. The cycle was not yet finished, but he tried his best to keep up with work, using letters and other means.

Chapter 241 The Assault
Hundreds of men, hauling several carts of provisions and two heavy cannons, were bound to travel slowly. Furthermore, General Lin intentionally delayed their march, causing them to stop and start, dividing their time between marching and training. It was a very leisurely journey.
Du Xiuyuan and Hu Bugui had put in great efforts to train these few hundred soldiers into an elite force. Both men seemed to have their own unique approach; after ...

Gao Qiu, startled by the sudden commotion, hurried over from his quarters nearby. Though he had just woken up, his face bore no trace of sleepiness. In a rush, he asked, "Brother Lin, what is it?"
Lin Wanrong spoke in a deep voice, "Have Zhao Liangyu lead the Divine Machine Unit, Du Xiuyuan take charge of the army of Zhejiang, and Hu Bugui lead the Shandong troops, to assemble urgently at the Divine Machine Unit's camp. There can be no ...

The seated woman possessed the beauty of a masterpiece painting, her face adorned with a gentle smile, filled with affection. Wasn't she the charming Qin Xian'er?
"Young Master, have you awakened?" Qin Xian'er looked at him, gracing him with a smile.
Could he not wake up when this young lady called him a few times? Lin Wanrong sat up, laughing as he said, "Xian'er, how did you come here?"
Having said that, his body wa...

"Diarca, and the Crown Prince. Did the sage know about this?"
"No. He didn't. If the Durmand that I know of is the same Baron Durmand, he's a powerful noble from the Diarca Duchy. Had I known, would I have risked coming here in madness?"
Their colleague spoke so, but Nahan did not nod. He only stared quietly at the man's face. A cold sweat began to bead on the man's forehead under Nahan's gaze, as if trying to pierce his thoughts.

Light blazed and space tore open in the most tucked-away alley of the Seventh Wall of the Empire's capital. Two men dressed in pilgrim's robes emerged from the opened space, unperturbed by the startled rats scurrying away. They calmly surveyed their surroundings.
"Is this the place we remembered?"
"Yes. Just in case, I set our location here."

Even amidst his busy schedule, he had consistently examined the situation in the West, all based on a tiny suspicion embedded within the rude letter. It was a skill beyond admiration, enough to send chills down his spine. Yuder blinked blankly for a moment before he managed to open his mouth.
"That's... really impressive."
"Impressive, what nonsense. I merely gave the orders. The loyal knights carried out the task."

Lin Wanrong and Gao Qiu, accompanied by Zhao Liangyu and several flag bearers, spurred their horses into a gallop. They arrived at the base of Langya Mountain in one breath, where from a distance, they could see a few tents lit up, bustling with shadows of people, presenting a lively scene.
"Commander Zhao, your camp seems quite lively. It appears that the brothers have a rather vibrant off-duty life!" Lin Wanrong said w...

Gao Qiu jumped in shock, hurriedly shaking his head. "Brother Lin, that is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable. In our Great Hua army, we have rules. If a soldier indulges in drinking, gambling, or prostitution on his own, at best he'd be flogged, at worst beheaded."
Lin Wanrong laughed, "Brother Gao, are you afraid of being flogged, or of losing your head? The generals we met earlier didn't seem afraid at all."

At a glance, both letters were far from ordinary. The unrest that Yuder had felt due to his conversation with Kishiar moments ago swiftly subsided. With a steady hand, he first unsealed the request from Theorado Van Tain.
The letter, sent ostensibly to the beloved Duke Peletta, commenced with a friendly preamble. Though it wasn't long, the content was anything but mundane as expected.
Perhaps Your Grace, Duke Peletta, has come to know about t...

"Yuder, I hear you've been training at dawn with Ever Beck lately."
"Yes?"
"Did you start with a particular goal in mind? If so, is it going well?"
"Ah... yes."
Taken aback by the sudden change in topic, Yuder nodded. These days, as he'd asked, he was training with Ever every morning. Although they called it 'training', it was essentially observing the flow of Ever's power as she exercised it, and it turned out to be more interesting ...

To express vague worries would only invite danger in return. There was no need to make a fuss every day just because one was worried. Yuder had merely been waiting in silence, but it seemed that his demeanor appeared extremely calm to others. He recalled a particularly serene expression on his face and absently stroked his chin.

"Why, Eldest Miss, you're up so early. I appreciate your dedication." Lin Wanrong greeted her with a playful laugh.

The trial between the Cavalry, including Duke Peletta and the Apeto Ducal House ended in defeat for the Apeto, just as many had predicted. However, the resulting storm that it stirred was beyond anyone's expectations.
The Apeto House, having braced for merely a blow to their pride if they were to lose, was slapped with an astronomical fine and the confiscation of about one-third of their official assets. Dozens of involved parties were sentenced to exi...
