Chapter 1355

Penulis: Summer's Blaze
Adrian had also brought a cannon with him, though it had to remain outside the city for now. It couldn't be transported in just yet. This cannon, an improvement on the red canon of Nerathia, was the same one that had destroyed Everett's courtyard back then.

In a few days, nearly all the martial factions that had been invited to Adrian's birthday banquet would arrive, each disguised in various ways. Knowing that martial artists would be thoroughly questioned at the city gates, they all decided to change their appearances completely.

Adrian had specifically chosen people from Coldmoon Guild to keep watch at the Capital Guard headquarters and Hell Monarch Estate in shifts.

There was a reason for this. The people from Coldmoon Guild rarely moved within the martial world, and they seldom visited the capital. Nicholas' men likely had never encountered them, which made them perfect for keeping Carissa safe without drawing suspicion.

Adrian was certain that Nicholas' next move would be to

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1648

    The battle raged on all day, leaving the soldiers drenched in blood and sweat. As the sky darkened, the Westhaven army finally withdrew from the inner city. However, the city's walls and gates had been badly damaged. They no longer stood strong enough to keep the enemy out.Though they had retreated for the night, the Westhaven soldiers would surely return at dawn. It was only the cover of darkness that forced their retreat. As they left, they didn't take the bodies of their fallen soldiers. Instead, they poured oil over the corpses and set them aflame.It wasn't just the dead Westhaven soldiers that burned in the fire, some fallen Victory Pass soldiers were caught in the blaze too. Dominic hurried to save as many as he could, unwilling to let his comrades turn to ash alongside the enemy.But the flames spread quickly, fed by the oil, so he only managed to rescue a few bodies. Most were burnt beyond recognition, their faces and features lost to the fire. It was impossible to tell wh

    The army stood at full attention as Dominic addressed them to lift the spirits of every soldier present.When he finished speaking, he raised his sword high and called out, "All soldiers of Starhaven! Fear no danger, fear no death! We swear to defend every inch of Starhaven's land and protect every soul beneath her skies!"The men erupted with thunderous cries, their arms raised in unison as they echoed, "Fear no danger! Fear no death! We swear to defend every inch of Starhaven's land and protect every soul beneath her skies!"Carissa stood among them, her voice raised with the rest. She was positioned further back in the ranks and couldn't clearly see her grandfather's face. However, she saw the way his cloak whipped in the wind, his posture proud and upright.Dominic looked every inch the commanding general.Carissa remembered the stories of the battle at Victory Pass well. While defending the city, her grandfather had been struck by an arrow and barely survived. Meanwhile, her

    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

  • Her Graceful War Song   Chapter 1644

    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
