Chapter 397: Next Target
Hearing Aldrian declare his intention to involve himself in the war, Baroness Weilmar felt a sudden light illuminating the darkness in her mind. Deep in her heart, she had already accepted that there was no way out of this civil war, as their forces were at their wits’ end. Their faction was losing everywhere, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out by the second prince’s forces.
However, Aldrian’s declaration that he would take part in the war to face the second prince gave her hope for a better future—for the path to victory.
Her guardian knight was also ecstatic when he heard it and looked at his master beside him. He then saw his master bow deeply at a 90-degree angle as she spoke with heartfelt gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. Once again, thank you. I truly appreciate it, and I will do my best to repay your kindness toward me and my people."
Dan also bowed, following Baroness Weilmar. There was nothing that could make him happier than this moment. For more than a year, they had been continuously losing—losing their territory, their people, their families, their friends. They had already lost so much, and with the overwhelming power of the second prince’s faction, they had long given up on seeking revenge.
But with Aldrian’s power, maybe—just maybe—they could finally strike back! They could reclaim their territory and even avenge their losses!
"Alright, you can stop bowing. For the first step, let me help you clear the blockade of Weilmar City," Aldrian said as he turned his head toward the mayor’s mansion, where his group was also looking in his direction. Xin Haotian and the others stood in the front garden of the mansion.
"It’s best if we do it as soon as possible to make a strong impact on the second prince."
Baroness Weilmar was stunned for a moment before straightening her body.
"Of course! When do you plan to come to our city?" she asked in a spirited voice.
"Right now. This is a good time for me to get a little exercise, and those people are just the beginning," Aldrian said, slightly pointing with his thumb toward the destroyed remains of fallen flying fortresses in the distance.
