System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1430: Rebel

The third princess was able to return safely.

The king had been waiting for him, of course, along with the rest of the ministers. They were anxious.

Although the third princess was useless, she was still good enough to bring the report they wanted. After all, that was what they had made her do this whole time... Dress up, stay silent, and watch.

Now that the third princess returned, the king didn’t waste any time and summoned her directly to the throne room.

”Wendy Ve Lenfenth greets Your Majesty.” Wendy fell to her knees, her skirt resting on the floor.

If it was the crown prince, the king would have smiled and greeted him first. Unfortunately, this was the third princess.

Without wasting any time, the king asked, ”What have you done in Count Barbatos’ territory?”

Wendy had expected this, so she didn’t have any change of expression, not that she was that expressive in the first place.

She gave the report as calmly as possible. ”Reporting to Your Majesty. During my stay, there was nothing unusual about Count Barbatos.

”However, I noticed that there were three visitors coming into his house. They are Count Krain, Baron Malas, and Baron Vansel.

”Although I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, Baron Vansel spent over four hours discussing something with Count Barbatos before returning. Other than him, there was nothing out of the ordinary from the other two.”

”!!!” This was it. This was what they were waiting for.

”I see...” The king squinted his eyes. ”Baron Vansel and Count Barbatos, huh? Normally, a noble would stay for quite some time. But it looks like Baron Vansel was in a hurry.

”If it were like any other time, there shouldn’t be a problem.

”However, in this situation, such a meeting was suspicious.

”There should be no reason for Baron Vansel to return right away. In other words, there’s a high chance that Baron Vansel is in this.” The king thought for a moment. ”Who is Baron Vansel connected to?”

”I believe he’s related to Count Revend. And Count Revend is connected to several other nobles, with him reporting directly to Marquis Nardt.”

”Speaking about Marquis Nardt, he has a major network in the west. It looks like the situation doesn’t look good.”

”Yeah.” Another minister chimed in. ”If Marquis Nardt is the culprit, I’m afraid half of the western lords will be coming with him.”

”If that’s the case, we should expect an army of at least one hundred thousand.”

The people looked pale. While the number was not a problem, the real problem was the number of experts they could send.

Noel had taken down a lot of experts. Currently, there weren’t many experts that could be sent to the battlefield. Even the king didn’t want to expose the fact he had demonic humans in his command. This would cause an even bigger rebellion.

At the same time, if they didn’t send enough experts, Marquis Nardt would crush them.View the correct content at fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m

”We have to mobilize our army as well. We have to stop them somehow. But who are we going to send?”

The people fell silent. None of them could confront these people.

They only had two options.

One minister suggested the first option, asking, ”How about we ask the Wind Arbiter and Darkness Arbiter?”

The atmosphere became tense. The people he suggested had been stopped by Kevin Stargaze.

Even if they summoned them here, they would make an excuse to not participate. The only thing they didn’t expect was the fact that Kevin Stargaze actually had the power to stop the Arbiters.

Although a lot of Arbiters had been lost, it was still surprising that Kevin had this power.

”According to our information, that Kevin Stargaze has made an alliance with the Madness Arbiter, the Blind Arbiter, and the Ice Arbiter.”

”What? He even managed to get Madness Arbiter’s cooperation?”

The people panicked. With Kevin’s influence, not a single arbiter could be sent to the battlefield. This was normally the arbiter’s job, but because of this very reason, they ended up in a bind.

In that case, there was only one option left.

”Can we ask the marshal to suppress these rebels?”

Yes. This was the most logical option. With the spirit transcendence at the helm, nothing could stop them. That was how powerful a spirit transcendence was.freeweb\n(o)v.e\l.com

The king was a bit skeptical about sending the marshal. After all, he was their last guard. In case of an emergency, they had no choice but to rely on the marshal.

Due to this, the king was in a bind.

Duke Raymond, on the other hand, came closer to the king and whispered, ”Your Majesty. I have an idea. What if we send our hunting dogs there as a mysterious third party?

”Although they are not that strong, they’re demonic humans. We will just have to make it look like they’re demonic humans from the Supreme Devil Organization.

”This way, we can deal a severe blow to their army before they clash with us.”

The king fell silent. These demonic humans were the last batch they cultivated. After their last failure, a lot of their hunting dogs died under Anna’s sword.

If they released them and got defeated again, they would have no more trump cards.

However, the king had to compare the benefits between these hunting dogs and the marshal.

If the marshal was exhausted because of this battle or even got injured, no one could stop an attack from a spirit transcendence anymore.

Hence, the king had no other option.

”Alright. Let’s do that. We will send them as the first wave and let them take down as many soldiers as possible, including the officers. Then we will send our army and crush the remaining survivors.”

”Yes. At the very least, we can absorb the losers after that. We can force them to become another batch of hunting dogs later.”

”All right.” The king finally gave his confirmation.

Duke Raymond then stepped forth and announced, ”We have a plan.”

Little did they know, moving these hunting dogs was the biggest mistake they had ever made, not against the western lords, not against Noel Ardagan, but against the third princess.
