Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 913

When Carissa first took up the position of commander of the Mystic Army, many officials opposed her appointment. They felt that a woman holding such an important position was inappropriate.

But now, seeing the series of actions taken by Salvador and understanding his intentions, the people began to feel that something wasn't quite right. If things went on like this, the Mystic Army might end up reduced to nothing more than a gathering place for the Garrison Unit's misfits.

The Mystic Army had once been a vital defense for the capital, a shield against external threats. Now, it was being torn apart, piece by piece. The officials felt uneasy, as if some sacred authority was being destroyed.

This feeling was also due to the fact that since Carissa had taken charge, the Mystic Army had become more formidable and had instilled a greater sense of security. Many who had previously opposed her leadership were now completely won over.

And it was this recognition of Carissa's ability that had pushed Salvador to accelerate his plans, transforming the Crown Guard into the Nightsteel Guard. It was clear that his next moves would come even faster.

Dominic was escorted back to the Sullivan family estate by the Griffinblade Unit. The estate had been abandoned for some time and had fallen into disrepair. The Griffinblade Unit members took it upon themselves to clear the overgrown weeds and clean the area. Derek also selected a few palace servants to assist with the upkeep.

Barrett didn't dare to personally escort Dominic, and instead deployed twenty members of the Griffinblade Unit. Ten of them entered the estate while the other ten kept watch outside, guarding all three entrances-four at the main gate and three each at the back and side doors.
