Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1271

When the news reached Valken, chaos erupted at Horizon Estate.

Yuvan was beside himself with fury, and he hurled a glass cup across the room.

"Useless fools! 5,000 private soldiers-how could they be wiped out without a word of warning? What is Tiberius even doing? So many men went to Lunvale, and he had no precautions in place! Not even a messenger to report this!"

His face was contorted in a fury so terrifying that even Harvey, standing quietly nearby, dared not speak. This was a blow they had not seen coming.

Stone Village had been concealed so carefully. How could it have been discovered?

Lunvale should never have drawn any attention in the first place!

Its terrain was perfect-hidden tunnels and a stronghold backed by mountains on three sides. Yuvan had always thought that should their plans fail, they could retreat there and remain safe for years, gradually plotting their next move through the tunnels. The natural defenses were so formidable that they had been certain no one could reach it.
