Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 84

Everyone present, including Rafael, was stunned by Aurora's words. Rafael quickly looked at Carissa, whose eyes were slightly red. She met his gaze and nodded faintly. Timothy, Owen, and other veterans of Hector's old army were equally shocked by the terrible news.

"How could this have happened?"

Carissa softly replied, "Eight months ago, Westhaven spies infiltrated the capital. Everyone in my household... except those who accompanied me to Valor Estate, was killed," "Oh my god!"

The generals could hardly believe this devastating news. Hector and his six sons had died on the battlefield, and now they learned that even his family had been wiped out. It was a tragedy beyond words! But why would the Westhaven spies do such a thing?

"Lady Sinclair, you even hid this from them? What are you trying to do?" Aurora continued to provoke.

"Enough!" Rafael scolded sternly. "How many troops did you bring?"

"I brought one hundred thousand Capital Army soldiers, ten thousand Sacred Fire Regiment soldiers, and fifteen thousand troops from the Mystic Army," Barrett replied, rubbing his cheek.

Rafael turned to Carissa. "General Sinclair, you will command the fifteen thousand Mystic Army troops. General Farrell will lead the Sacred Fire Regiment soldiers. Tonight, settle them in the camp outside the city. Tomorrow, we begin training."
