Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1364

Thomas had already received word from his scouts. Several mysterious groups had gathered outside Nerovia and were now heading toward Valken.

Long before this, he had received a report from Jacob. Jacob had warned him that Yuvan might feign surrender to lure them into the city for a trap, and then spring an ambush from within.

Thomas knew well that Yuvan was nothing more than a pawn in Nicholas‘ game.

With years of experience in intelligence and espionage, Thomas could piece together the situation with just a few key bits of information and devise a strategy accordingly.

Homer and Felix had initially remained in the capital, but yesterday they had suddenly moved to join him outside Valken. Thomas had been surprised at first–after all, the capital should have been the most dangerous place. Why would the two of them be sent here?

Felix explained that Carissa’s mentor, Adrian, the leader of the Pathfinders Guild, had come to the capital, bringing with him many martial artists to aid their cause. After hearing that, Thomas felt relieved.

Typically, martial artists stayed out of political affairs, but if rebels threatened the peace, they would intervene. This had happened before.

Thomas didn’t know much about others, but he was familiar with Adrian. The man was wise and brave, and highly skilled in the ways of the Ingenium Order a faction renowned for their mastery of mechanical devices, traps, and innovative weaponry. He was particularly adept with mechanical weapons and contraptions, and he was the one who had improved the six–barreled matchlock.

With Adrian in the capital, Nicholas‘ plans were bound to fail.
