Her Graceful War Song Chapter 1646
As the army prepared for war, they also ordered the townsfolk near Victory Pass to move further inland, so they might be kept safe from the fighting.There were several villages beyond the gates that were still part of Starhaven. These people had lived there for generations. In times past, Dominic had urged them to move further inland, but they had always refused.To them, Victory Pass had clashed with Westhaven many times before. Yet, the conflict had never touched their homes. They believed that leaving now would be the same as abandoning their land, and would rather die than do so.But this time, Dominic went in person. He promised that if war broke out and their villages were destroyed, his soldiers would help rebuild their homes. Dominic was well-respected and deeply loved by the people. When he spoke, they listened. He spent nearly a whole day talking to them before they finally agreed.Soldiers were sent to help with the move, with Carissa's unit among those assigned to assi

Travis had distinguished himself during the battle at Hollow Ridge and was promoted to centurion, giving him command over one hundred men.He made a request to be allowed to choose soldiers from the fresh recruits and train them himself. At first, Otis refused, noting that the brave and bold Travis was an ideal man to lead elite soldiers at the front lines.But Travis insisted that, as a man of the martial arts world, he had his own way of training troops. He claimed his methods would best suit the new recruits, and promised he could turn them into fine soldiers, even offering to sign a formal pledge.Otis waved it off, having no real intention of forcing such a promise. Rare as such talent was, he intended to keep Travis close and train him well. If Travis wished to take on the new recruits, so be it. If it proved too much, he could always return.Travis happily left for the new recruit camp and began selecting his soldiers. Carissa, Bun, Violet, and Cynthia were chosen right away

Carissa finally reunited with Violet, Cynthia, and Bun. Seeing their young faces again made her feel strangely distant, as if lifetimes had passed since they were last together.They had all entered the new recruit camp and were now going through basic military training. For most new soldiers, the drills were grueling. But for them, it was a little more than light exercise.While the rest of the recruits collapsed onto their shared bunks at the end of the day, gasping for breath, Carissa and her friends still had the strength to go for a run. Afterward, they would lie on the sand, gazing at the stars above and speaking quietly of their plans.Bun lay on his back with a stalk of grass between his teeth and his hands behind his head. Still puzzled, he asked, "Cari, I just don't see how we can trust a dream. We've come all this way and joined the army, but we haven't truly seen battle. Do we have to go this far, all for a dream?""We have to," said Violet and Cynthia at once.Cynthia

If war broke out, Carissa was determined to fight. However, her grandfather had forbidden it, so she needed an alternative plan.First, she had to join the army as a soldier. Though she was already training as a recruit, Otis had his eye on her and made it clear she would be sent away once training ended. As she wasn't officially enlisted, she wasn't considered a real soldier and couldn't set foot on the battlefield.She and Travis discussed it quietly. They agreed that he should remain at the army camp for now, while she would leave and find a way back in under a different identity. Once she succeeded, they would meet again.After staying at the army camp for a few days, Carissa announced she would return to the capital. Though the Sullivan family hated to part with her, the coming war made it too dangerous for her to stay.Dominic had Wade escort her and Lulu out of Victory Pass. Meanwhile, Travis said he wished to stay and make a career in the army, which Dominic readily approve

Carissa and Travis had been training with the soldiers for several days now. Travis was quite taken with it, especially the offensive battle formations, which he thought were clever and oddly fun.But for Carissa, these maneuvers were second nature. They were things so deeply ingrained that they felt like part of her bones. She could see the weaknesses in the drills and even offered suggestions.Otis was the only one who knew her true identity, and he was initially suspicious when she approached him with her ideas. He thought she was simply trying to stand out, perhaps making trouble for the sake of attention.He listened to her, albeit with impatience, as she explained a few improvements to the formation. But as she spoke, his eyes lit up.By the end of it, he raised his thumb in admiration and exclaimed, "Truly, like father, like daughter! You are indeed worthy of being General Hector's child."When she first heard those words, Carissa felt a little dazed.It had been years sin

At once, the family summoned all the generals to hold council, and scouts were sent out again to gather firmer intelligence. Additionally, a fast rider was dispatched back to the capital to request reinforcements.Cindy took care to see Carissa settled properly, and the two sat together for a long while, speaking in low voices.Cindy did her best to comfort her niece, urging her not to dwell in sorrow and to look ahead instead. Yet even as she spoke kindly, she turned her head away more than once to quietly wipe away her tears.Carissa leaned against her aunt, thinking how fortunate she was to have a second chance. This time, so much might still be saved.The following morning, Dominic issued new orders. All soldiers were to return to their posts immediately, and training was resumed in full. The walls were to be reinforced, and traps were to be laid within the outer fortress.Carissa took this chance to speak to her grandfather. She requested permission for both herself and Travi
