Chapter 726 Sorry but I Can’t Follow Those Orders

However, Balthazar was now a puppet, and Jerry could convey his every desire through him.

The king’s residence looked completely normal, and nobody would ever imagine. that something so horrible had happened the previous night.

Jerry didn’t have a doctor check over Lyndon, keeping the fact that he was under a spell safe. Luckily, some members of Skyarch Palace were skilled in medicine and could easily treat simple injuries.

This rebellion was going smoother than Jerry and his sons had expected. They were now excited and in disbelief that this was happening–it felt like a dream.

Jerry thought that Jethro had no knowledge of Balthazar’s speech habits and usual behavior, so he wanted to learn witchcraft and control Balthazar himself.

Things would be bad if other higher–ups realized that something was not right. Besides, Jerry had been standing beside Balthazar for years and thus had veritable knowledge about how he spoke and acted.

Jethro taught the art of witchcraft to Jerry. The key to controlling someone easily was to make sure the spell was recited in the correct way.

The intelligence department didn’t question Balthazar’s Royal Summons much and sent it to Caspian immediately.”

At this moment, Caspian was leading the armored battalion in an attack on the capital of Filren. The city was gradually becoming terribly ruined under the continuous onslaughts of cannon fire.

The Filrenian reinforcements and Caspian’s armored battalion had fought against each other overnight, but there was yet to be a winner between them.

Byron was terrified now. The reinforcements had yet to rush back. Caspian would eventually invade the capital if this went on. Then, he would surely be held captive.

Byron called the Filrenian higher–ups immediately and commanded for the reinforcements to gather toward the capital. The priority right now was to safeguard the capital./
