The second deputy defense minister, Ethan Smith, said. “Your Majesty, sending reinforcements now may be too late. Our spies didn’t pick up on this, which means all our spies in Sandoria and Westhaven must have been killed.”

Salvador remembered that ten days ago, Carissa had come to the palace with a forged letter, claiming it was information from Kyle. At that time, he thought she was simply bitter about Barrett and Aurora’s marriage. In turn, he reprimanded her and put her under house arrest

He didn’t realize she was speaking the truth.

Had he believed her ten days ago, they could have sent reinforcements immediately and started gathering supplies. With his brother’s command capabilities, they might have stood a chance against the Westhaven Sandoria alliance.

Meanwhile, Aurora and Barrett exchanged glances. Their long–awaited opportunity had finally arrived!

They had used their achievement at Victory Pass to request a marriage edict. If they could achieve great success on the Southern Frontier battlefield, they would become highly sought–after military leaders.

No one would dare mock them then!

Barrett still remembered the humiliation of his wedding. Despite being intimate with Aurora over the past few days, he was still seething inside.

In addition, his mother Rebecca had fallen ill upon learning about his pre–marital relations with Aurora. He had personally sought out Sebastian, but never even got to see the man. Aurora also tried to get help, but Sebastian refused to open his door, which infuriated her.

In the end, his sister–in–law Amelia spent two days kneeling in front of the physician’s office and finally managed to buy five Snowdrop Pills. They were incredibly expensive–originally thirty silver coins each- but Amelia had to pay one hundred silver coins even after spending two days kneeling.

Even selling Valor Estate wouldn’t cover the cost of the medicine for long. Barrett and Aurora were left facing ridicule, while Amelia earned praise for her devotion.

Barrett and Aurora’s heroic achievements were forgotten, overshadowed by the disaster of their wedding. They desperately needed battlefield success to restore their honor.

Both of them quickly knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty, the situation is urgent. Please send additional troops. I’m willing to lead the reinforcements to the Southern Frontier and aim to reach the battlefield before the Westhaven forces arrive,” Aurora said.

Barrett was caught off guard. He wanted to stop Aurora, but didn’t make it in time.

The king immediately asked, “Can you really reach the Southern Frontier before the Westhaven forces

arrive?”

Aurora replied firmly, “I will do my utmost.”

“Very well,” Salvador said, “General Warren will be the commander, and General Yates will be the deputy commander. You are to immediately mobilize one hundred thousand soldiers from the Capital Army and march through the nights without delay”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Aurora was startled to hear it.

“Your Majesty, even two hundred thousand soldiers might not be enough. The current force at the Southern Frontier is fewer than two hundred thousand, while Westhaven and Sandoria combined have at least five hundred thousand soldiers.

“Moreover, Sandoria possesses sacred firearms, I propose sending ten thousand soldiers from the Sacred Fire Regiment and thirty thousand from the Mystic Army to accompany the Capital Army soldiers under General Warren’s command.”

Davis quickly objected to this. “Your Majesty! The Mystic Army is your personal guard, and shouldn’t be easily removed from the capital.”

Salvador pondered for a moment, then said, “Send ten thousand soldiers from the Sacred Fire Regiment with General Warren. Allocate fifteen thousand Mystic Army troops to join the soldiers from the Capital Army. Once reinforcements arrive at the Southern Frontier, they will be placed under the command of the Hell Monarch.”

Aurora said, “Your Majesty! Since the Capital Army does not follow the Hell Monarch, I believe it would be better for me to lead them along with General Warren.

“Nonsense!” Davis barked. “One battlefield can’t have two commanders! Besides, the Capital Army soldiers were all trained by the Duke of Northwatch, and the Hell Monarch was also under his command. How could they not follow the Hell Monarch? If they refuse orders, what use are they as soldiers?” The prime minister, Jeremiah Murray, had arrived late. After understanding the situation, he also agreed that immediate action was necessary and that the Hell Monarch should command the reinforcements. Though Jeremiah was over seventy years old, he hadn’t retired. It proved that he still played a crucial role in maintaining stability in the court.

Therefore, Salvador trusted his judgment.

“It’s decided. Return to your residence and make your preparations. Once that’s done, General Warren and General Yates will join the ministers in arranging for the mobilization of the troops. You will hand over the medal of command to the Hell Monarch once you reach the Southern Frontier,” Salvador commanded.

“Understood, Your Majesty!” Barrett and Aurora replied

Salvador looked at Aurora. “You said you could reach the Southern Frontier before the Westhaven forces. I hope you won’t disappoint me. If you succeed, you will be greatly rewarded.”

Aurora looked up, her eyes filled with determination. “I will give my all, Your Majesty!”
