Chapter 184:
Marshal Loren had no intention of staying in the Misty City for too long. After receiving the king’s appointment and war permission, the marshal must rush to Dover.
That is where the old Imperial Guard’s legion is stationed.
The reason they are called the “old Imperial Guard” is to distinguish them from the Misty City Imperial Guard established after the founding of the Goldflower Kingdom. The old Imperial Guard are veterans who have protected the king since the Western Kingdom era, the most combat-effective, honorable, and loyal troops in the country.
They obey only the will of the king himself, equivalent to King Louis’s “private army.”
Marshal Loren’s military career started here.
He is the pride of the old Imperial Guard.
King Louis’s deployment of the old Imperial Guard also means that he does not want this war to be restrained by the parliament. This simultaneously means that if the Circle Tower cannot give an answer that satisfies the king, the Spirit Mages’ allies in the political arena will have no chance to stop the war from starting.
This is King Louis’s response to the rebellion!
Resolute, decisive, cruel even to the point of being cold-blooded, he even skipped the step of sending envoys to inquire. Either bow down in submission or accept annihilation!
