She thought that if Isolde planned to attack Kamari’s residence, the best time would be during the storm.

However, by the next morning, there was still no sign of Isolde’s army. After sending people to investigate, they found that her troops were still stationed in the stone houses, unmoved.

Ashley found it strange, wondering if she had guessed wrong. Isolde, what exactly are you planning?

She felt deeply uneasy and immediately redeployed another five thousand troops for defense.

Inside the stone house, Doug, Kolton, and Isolde were discussing their attack strategy.

“We can’t stay here for long. The heavy rain is our cover, but once it stops, this stone house will be under siege. Although Oliver destroyed their weapons depot, the kind of gunpowder Princess Aveline mentioned must still be stocked in the royal residence. They surely understand our intentions and will take advantage of this storm to wipe us out. So, we must retreat before the rain stops,” Isolde said.

“Retreat?” Doug was momentarily stunned. “Wasn’t your plan to attack the royal residence during the storm?”

Isolde said, “That’s right, but this storm won’t stop anytime soon. Now isn’t the best moment to strike. A surprise attack should truly catch the enemy off guard. The rain will last for five days, bringing devastating floods. Our priority now is to stay with the people to ensure safety. At the same time, we have five days to prove ourselves and win the hearts of Zloimond’s people for the King. If my guess is right, Kamari won’t provide disaster relief. Since the Royal Court’s stance is still unclear, he wouldn’t dare open his granaries at this moment. This is the perfect opportunity for the Royal Court to regain the people’s trust. With their support, victory will surely be ours.”

-Kolton looked at her with intrigue. What she proposed wasn’t an exceptionally sophisticated strategy. It was

actually the simplest one. She was merely using a natural disaster to win public favor before launching a surprise attack. In a way, it was rather cunning.

Yet, she spoke with such righteousness, and looking at the whole situation, it truly was a just cause.

Kamari was indeed a traitor and a usurper.

Ashley’s defenses did not face an attack.

Instead, news arrived that Isolde and her three thousand troops had rushed to the coastal areas in the storm to help the people escape the disaster.

Since the moment the hurricane arrived, the heavy rain had never ceased.

Countless houses in the suburbs collapsed, trees were uprooted, and even within the city, some buildings fell, and rooftops were torn off.
