“That’s right!”

Someone joined in and gave a cold smile, “If they’re not willing to support us, then they’re on the rebel army’s side, so we can take the opportunity to get rid of them too.”

Hearing this, everyone present began to laugh.

Nobles were not as good as people thought of them to be.

In this age, often, nobles were far more barbaric than commoners. Plundering and massacring were things that they often did.

This was especially so for the northern side: For the northern rulers who often fought with the Outlanders, it was incredibly normal.

It had to be known that all of the northern rulers in front of Chen Heng, including Chen Heng himself, were all slave traders.

To them, plundering was not a big deal, and it was not like they had not done it before.

It was just that their target had changed from the Outlanders to the southern rulers.

As the various rulers became excited, Chen Heng gave a strange smile, “Who said we’re going to the south to fight with the rebel army?”

“What?”

Everyone else felt quite confused, “We’re not going to fight with the rebel army?”

Who else was there to fight?

They felt quite confused and stared at Chen Heng.

Under their gazes, Chen Heng only gave a faint smile and said, “The Kutu Royal City. We are Her Majesty’s subordinates, so we naturally need to protect Her Majesty’s safety. As such, it’s only natural for us to go to the Kutu Royal City.”

After he said this, the other rulers stared for a moment before realizing what Chen Heng was thinking.

However, they did not feel resistant and instead excitedly laughed.

In just a moment, the hall became filled with laughter.

Chen Heng was able to easily receive support from the northern rulers—they were able to provide 5,000 soldiers in total.

Different from the army in Chen Heng’s hands, these 5,000 soldiers were drawn out from ten or so noble families, and they were not one body.

Their battle power could not compare to Chen Heng’s 5,000 people because they were battle-hardened veterans, making them not much inferior.

For the ten or so rulers to decide to follow and send out soldiers with him, this was very good for Chen Heng.

On one hand, this expanded the military force at Chen Heng’s disposal, giving him greater strength to wield.

On the other hand, because they had sent out 5,000 soldiers, the northern rulers had less strength in their own hands, so the Sordar region would not be in any trouble during this time.

Part of the reason why Chen Heng had left behind 5,000 soldiers was to defend against these northern rulers.

Now, the first step of Chen Heng’s plan was complete.

He just now had to see how the situation developed.

Under Chen Heng’s command, the army from the ten or so noble families quickly gathered and headed towards the Kutu Royal City.

Before leaving, Chen Heng first went to his own residence.

“I’m about to leave. During the time I’m away, I’ll leave Kerdo and Alimu to you,” Chen Heng smiled and said softly looking at Verna in front of him.

Kerdo and Alimu were Chen Heng and Verna’s two children. Over the years, they had grown much and were no longer small.

“Alright.” Standing in front of Chen Heng, Verna wore a long dress and held the hands of the two children as she nodded seriously.

After ten years, she had greatly changed. She began to show signs of aging, and her body had become plumper.

However, her relationship with Chen Heng was just as good as it had always been.

Standing next to her, the two boys looked at Chen Heng with great reluctance.

“Father, can I go with you?”

The slightly bigger boy asked.

He had golden hair and a handsome appearance, and there was a look of worry on his face, “I want to stay with you.”

This was Chen Heng’s oldest son Kerdo. He was already 12 years old and a young adult in this society.

“I’m sorry, but not this time.”

Looking at his child, Chen Heng smiled and patted his head as he said, “I’ll take you with me after you’ve grown up. For now, you should wait for me at home with your little brother.

“Don’t make any trouble for your mother and wait for me,” Chen Heng said with a smile. After chatting with them for a while, he turned and left.

The northern rulers’ army had gathered and news continuously came from the south. His time was very precious and he could not continue waiting.

Following this, Verna held the hands of the two children and looked at Chen Heng’s departing figure with a worried look.

“God, please watch over my husband and bring him back safe…” she closed her eyes as she prayed.

Time gradually passed.

It was not too far from Sordar to the Kutu Royal City—it took around two or three months to arrive.

During this time, the situation in the south had become even worse.

Olivia’s army was continually defeated while the rebel army was becoming stronger. It seemed that a new power was going to be born and replace the royal family.

In response, there was nothing that the Kutu royal family could do.

As the sovereign who had ruled over the Kutu Principality for hundreds of years, the Kutu royal family indeed had great power, as well as many Knights.

With enough time, they could pull together an army and continue to fight with the rebel army.

However, the situation was devolving far too quickly.

It was to the point that things had become critically dangerous before they could react.

In just a few months, the southern territories had all fallen, and the rebel army headed north, continuously heading towards the Kutu Royal City.

During the course of this, rulers either joined the rebel army or sat by and watched. There were very few people who supported the royal family.

It seemed that Olivia had finally received retribution for her past actions.

The royal family’s army was still gathering, but they lacked training and weapons.

If they were forcefully sent to fight, they would just be going to their deaths.

If they were to be useful, they still needed time.

However, Olivia did not have time.

After all, the situation was at its most dangerous point.

At that moment, an army from the northern side gradually came near the Kutu Royal City under Olivia’s orders.
