The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 713

But when Ivy saw how determined Adrian was, she took a deep breath and said, “Nyssa, Arianne, Phoenix, Jenine… Go assist them. But do be careful.”

The women locked their sights on the battle below. Immediately upon receiving their orders, they drew their daggers and sped down the mountains toward the street.

The other women started trembling when the four left. Some were even tearing up.

Ivy was most definitely in tears as she looked at Adrian. “Surely there are other ways to have us killed, right? You’ve clearly sent the four of them to their deaths. They’re naturally frightened of assassins and can’t muster up any fighting spirit under such circumstances!”

Adrian chose not to answer Ivy’s question.

Evident from their swooping shadow, Nyssa and the others were almost at the battlefield. Ivy saw this and became even more anxious. “Why aren’t you answering me? We’re all pitiful women who were bullied back in Bloody Rose, but that’s fine. Why would you do such a thing to us after we’ve finally managed to find ourselves a life here? Do you know what the others are thinking right now?”

Ivy’s face was drenched in tears. She loved her sisters, and she knew even more just how frightened they were of the assassins.

She had no idea what Adrian was trying to achieve.

“Say something!” Ivy yelled at him when he continued to remain silent.

That yell almost sent her into a total meltdown. After all, the women had placed their hopes on Adrian, but it turned out they were merely to be used as his scapegoats.

Eira and the others pursed their lips, tears continuing to fall. They felt helpless and saddened by the turn of events. At that moment, their hatred toward Adrian was as powerful as their hatred for Bloody Rose.

However, just as their hatred for him grew, a voice shouted right before Nyssa and the other three arrived on the battlefield.

“Charge!”

The battlecry was clear and powerful, followed by a lot more shouts.

Squads upon s ads of Wyvern Peak soldiers appeared from all directions, swarming toward the forest. There were exactly a hundred thousand of them entering the battlefield as they yelled to boost their morale.

In fact, these liers completely drowned out Nyssa and the others.

As the soldiers appeared, Ivy’s mouth opened ajar as she looked at the streets filled with men in shock. Of course, the other women were completely stunned too, covering their mouths.

Nyssa, Phoem, and the others, who were still in pain from being sent to their deaths, were thoroughly dumbfounded by the hundred thousand soldiers suddenly swarming in.

Everyone’s communicators rang out as the soldiers showed up.

“Lightning Squad, reporting in!”

“Fire Squad, reporting in!”

“Thunder Squad, reporting in!”

A cacophony of voices rang through everyone’s communicators while Ivy and Eira’s mouths were wide open in shock. When the two of them looked at Adrian, they realized that he was still as calm as ever.

After all the voices were done reporting in, Adrian pressed on his communicator and said, “Proceed as planned.”

“Understood!”

“Understood!”

Adrian then turned around toward Ivy. “Have the ladies pick up the book from the car.” “Yes, sir!” Ivy acknowledged.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
