Chapter 231 Seen Through

Isolde gazed at the cloudless sky and nodded, “Yes”

“But today is even hotter than yesterday, and there isn’t a single cloud. How could it possibly rain today?

Just wait until tonight, Isolde reassured softly.

She recalled she had read the records about this storm and hurricane in her previous life: “The day was bright and endless, clear without a single cloud. During the day, strong winds roared, and dark waves rose, crashing forward like a mighty force. Windows broke, tiles fell, and roofs were ripped apart. Hoge rocks were thrown, tall trees were pulled from the ground, and floodwaters rushed through with unstoppable power…”

This was a disaster, but in the past life, Kamari had exploited it, twisting the narrative to blame the King’s cruelty for provoking heaven’s wrath upon the people.

No matter how Kamari deployed his troops now, once the calamity struck, he would have no choice but to send soldiers to the coast.

These soldiers were the ones he had secretly recruited over the years. They were not part of the Royal Court’s official military. They had not undergone proper training, nor had they seen real battle. Isolde did not want them to be dragged into war.

By dusk, the wind had begun to stir, though only slightly stronger than during the day.

Doug and Kolton were on edge, already making preparations for an alternative plan.

Their plan was nothing more than seeking reinforcements from nearby troops.

However, the nearest reinforcements would take at least two days to arrive, making it a four–day round trip.

That meant they had to station their forces here for at least four more days. Staying put was one thing, but there was no way Kamari would simply sit back and do nothing.

If the natural disaster didn’t occur as expected, Kamari would start getting suspicious.

Moreover, searching for reinforcements in the vicinity was something he would undoubtedly notice. By the time the reinforcements arrived, their forces could already be wiped out.

No matter how they looked at it, there was no way to retreat completely unscathed. If they wanted to make it out alive, they would have to withdraw in disgrace.

Kolton could only smile bitterly. They had marched out with a mighty force of three thousand troops, yet in the end, they would retreat without even fighting a single battle.

The reputation of the Sharp family would be ruined at his hands.

However, Kolton and Doug’s worries did not last long.
