Balola furiously spoke to the people atop the fortress opposite to him, although the people there seemed afraid, yet they still showed no response.

After a lengthy pause, Balola withdrew back into the ranks of his troops.

“Marquis Gaoer, give the order to attack,” Balola said to his deputy.

In fact, the actual commander of the army was Marquis Gaoer.

Balola was strong personally and skilled in charging into battle, but he was quite naive when it came to commanding troops, and his innate talent was somewhat lacking.

Balola was very aware of his own abilities, and thus did not insist on commanding the army himself.

This suited Marquis Gaoer quite well, as nobody liked to be commanded by a novice.

Subsequently, the army began to move in an orderly fashion.

However, before they even reached the walls of the fortress, the soldiers atop it descended into chaos on their own.

“What’s happening, why are these people so incompetent?”

Balola watched their performance with disappointment in his eyes.

Even if they were to rebel, they should at least put up a better fight.

Her own brother was not only dim-witted, the people he employed were all unreliable.

Soon after the mages cast some spells, the people on the wall collapsed completely.

Balola realized that before she even led the charge, the gates opposite them had been blasted open, and there was nothing blocking the entrance.

Even those inexperienced in defending a city should know to do at least that much.

But it didn’t take long for them to understand what had happened, as the defenders had already fled.

What was left were mere cannon fodder who had been kept in the dark; realizing that their leaders had vanished, they naturally collapsed on the spot.

Such behavior was truly baffling.

“It’s still early, we can catch up with their main force if we pursue them now.”

Gaoer was about to say something when Balola gestured dismissively, “No need for more words, such individuals are incapable of setting traps.”

After that, Balola led her troops in pursuit, and, sure enough, they soon caught up with the enemy, slowed by their heavy baggage.

Balola led a charge herself and captured everyone on the spot.

The battle was absurdly easy; it was as if they had just taken a casual stroll.

What she had presumed would be a siege battle with some losses turned out to be child’s play before her.

Next, Balola made her way toward Bo Yan’s domain, demonstrating what an unstoppable force looked like.

They moved much faster than the previous two princes.

Receiving continuous reports from the front lines, Sikell’s face twisted with fury, no longer caring about his artistic tastes.

“Damn it, damn it all, why couldn’t they stop that madwoman?

Why isn’t there a single competent person?”

“Your Highness, what should we do?

If this continues, the Princess might reach us in just a few days,” said an aide, sweating profusely as they finally realized something was amiss.

Not only had numerous lords already left with their people, but even Coruas had departed.

When the Prince learned of this, he was utterly confounded.

Wasn’t the situation supposed to be advantageous for him?

Wasn’t he supposed to become the next King?

How did everything change in the blink of an eye?

Even those who supported him had left.

At such a critical moment, couldn’t they see that staying close to him was their only path forward?

“I will confront her personally, right in this valley,” he declared.

When the Prince spotted a valley, his eyes immediately lit up.

This valley’s low-lying area could ideally block Balola’s advance.

He believed that, no matter what, Balola couldn’t possibly get through.

As long as he could hold her off there, he would have more time to secure the support of the lords.

At that time, battle reports also kept arriving in Zhao Guang’s hands.

Seeing these reports, Zhao Guang knew that the Prince’s cause was lost.

“As expected, I knew the King was feigning,” he mused.

After all, since he was the one who sent the information, Zhao Guang was privy to some of the inside knowledge.

The King used the time to draw out his two sons, simultaneously assessing their capabilities.

The result was that two incompetent weaklings pecked at each other until one accidentally died.

Moreover, the entire central region of the nation had become chaotic.

The army and the Undead wreaked havoc, and internal disturbances could no longer be suppressed.

Royal Family affairs are always troublesome, sparking so much turmoil.

Zhao Guang no longer concerned himself with these matters; the Prince was no match for Balola.

Zhao Guang’s attention, however, was devoted to researching Magic Warriors and the Deep Red Book.

On one hand, he bolstered his magic; on the other, he strengthened the military force of his domain.

The military force of his domain was not large in number, but it was certainly of very high quality.

Yet this still wasn’t enough for Zhao Guang, who sought to make his forces even more powerful.

He couldn’t always rely on himself to protect his domain, and within it, there were simply too few who were truly capable.

Apart from himself and Xi Fei, there was hardly anyone truly useful.

There were some Advanced professionals, but they could not make a significant impact on a large-scale battlefield.

As Zhao Guang was engaged in his research and improvements, the latest intelligence arrived from the front lines.

The Princess had defeated the Prince’s forces and captured him on the spot.

“What is wrong with this guy?

Is he out of his mind to be making blunders at such a time?” Xi Fei looked at the report with a peculiar expression, unsure what to make of it.

“What happened now?

What did he do this time, or rather, how did he lose?”

The Prince’s surrounding forces were still formidable, even if merely for defense, they shouldn’t have crumbled so quickly.

“The Prince didn’t defend but chose to take the offensive instead, right here in this valley.”

Zhao Guang looked at the map, puzzled, “This place has good terrain.

Setting an ambush here would definitely hold for a while.

Though it may not stop them, Balola wouldn’t want to incur heavy losses, so she couldn’t progress too fast.”

Xi Fei shook her head, “Not like that.

The Prince committed all his forces deep inside the valley to mount a defense.

Outside, there wasn’t a single soldier.”

Zhao Guang’s gaze became strange, hardly believing someone would trap themselves in a cage.

He couldn’t fathom what the Prince was thinking, to come up with such a tactic.

It was as if he was determined to make it as easy as possible for the opposition to win.

At the moment, Zhao Guang was at a loss for words.
