The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

It's Maggie!

However, there was another person carrying on her horse.

"I am the next head of the Rema family! Rema Maggie!"

"Soldiers of the Rema family, please cease this pointless fighting immediately!"

"And immediately change course, abandon all supplies, and return to Anseth City at all costs!"

Yann was momentarily stunned when he saw Maggie appear out of nowhere.

Why did my daughter come over?

Is she also going to stop herself from seizing power?!

“Maggie!”

"Get your ass back home right now!"

"You have no place to speak here!"

Maggie, expressionless, lifted the man off her back and threw him to the ground.

Then, she looked coldly at her father.

“This is a scout from the Pennsylvania Commonwealth; I caught him on the road.”

After saying that, Maggie kicked the man hard in the buttocks.

"Say!"

What is the Pennsylvania Federation doing?!

After hesitating for a long time, the scout finally spoke in a trembling voice.

"The Pennsylvania Federation... has breached the defenses of Vita Town and is advancing in three directions. Yesterday, the vanguard made contact with the infiltration team in Anseth City, learning that the city's defenses are weak..."

"Two days from now, the Pennsylvania Federation's army will launch an attack on Anseth's main city from three directions simultaneously."

Maggie kicked again.

"Then what!"

"Then..." The scout closed his eyes in despair and told everything he knew.

"Then, to vent their humiliation at having their territory seized by the Duchy of Ferrante..."

"The general of the frontline army has decided... decided..."

"Massacre the city."

At this moment, not only Yann, but even the soldiers were stunned.

The Pennsylvania Federation actually launched an attack.

Vita Town, an outpost, has already fallen. Next is Mosgu City, then Hangu Pass, and finally Ansese City...

Most importantly, the commander of the Pennsylvania Federation decided to massacre the city.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the soldiers immediately roared in anger.

"Unforgivable!"

"Brothers, our families are still in Anseth City!"

"Return immediately!!!"

"Cavalry advance first, infantry cover the rear, and all siege equipment must be abandoned!"

Even the general whom Yann once trusted most finally issued the order to attack backward.

Compared to the royal power of the Rema family, his own family was clearly more important.

The entire army regrouped in just a few minutes, turned around, and galloped towards Anseth.

Having completely lost command, Yann looked dejectedly at the scattered equipment and heavy weapons before him, feeling a sense of desolation.

These items were purchased using nearly two years' worth of tax revenue from Anseth City.

Now, however, it is casually discarded like trash.

In fact, he had already anticipated that the Pennsylvania Federation would take action when he sent troops.

However, they did not expect the enemy to act so swiftly, while their progress in conquering the royal city would be so slow.

"Father......"

Maggie led the horse and stopped beside Yann.

She looked at him with a complicated expression and said calmly.

"Let's go back to the city."

"Anses City is waiting for your command."

Looking at the blurry outline of the royal city of Kanosa on the horizon, Yann lowered his head in resentment.

Just a little bit different!

Just that little bit!

We can conquer the royal city ourselves!

Why...why!

He is not willing!

Yann brandished his longsword and gave the order to charge towards the royal city of Kanosa.

"Soldiers! Heed my command, follow me in the attack! Charge into the royal city! And achieve hegemony!!!"

But apart from the wreckage of weapons scattered on the ground, no one answered his voice.

Maggie couldn't bear to look at her father any longer and closed her eyes.

He raised his whip and caught up with the departing army.

In the wilderness, only Yann remained.

And the empty silence, the shouts of battle.

"Kill them all!!"

"Warriors of Anseth City!!!"

Chapter 153 Showdown

The Rema family withdrew before the war even began.

However, the other three nobles managed to stabilize morale by killing a number of soldiers.

Linton, in particular, was extremely cruel.

Anyone who was influenced by Claire's remarks and even had the slightest thought of wavering, regardless of their official rank, would be executed on the spot.

Under terrifying pressure, the soldiers had no choice but to grit their teeth and launch an attack on the royal city.

Claire, upon seeing the sandworm, naturally noticed this and her heart sank.

Surprisingly, so many people still chose to attack in the end.

Whether they did it voluntarily or not, the moment they chose to attack Canosa, they were essentially putting themselves on the opposite side.

There is only one option left.

That is, beat them until they completely admit defeat!

Claire raised Ferrante's battle flag and gently stroked the sandworm's back.

"Go, Mr. Sandworm, that's where our enemy is!"

"Devour them!"

The sandworm, which had never shown any murderous intent before, emitted a sharp, piercing noise from its scales after sensing Claire's will—a sign that it was about to unleash a killing spree.

The magical circuits within his body began to operate rapidly, and wisps of flame burst forth from between the scales.

Then, the sandworm plunged into the ground, carrying Claire, and traveled through the sandstorm at an extremely fast speed.

Amidst the billowing dust, Ferrante's battle flag fluttered in the wind.

"I am Phoenix Claire!"

"Please stop the war immediately and lay down your weapons!"

"Otherwise, destruction awaits you!"

However, this advice had no effect; the soldiers continued to shoot arrows at her.

After dodging several fatal attacks, Claire finally summoned the Red Queen.

Flames burned all around him.

------

at the same time.

Inside the palace, Ryan, who was supporting the magic array, sensed a faint surge of magic power behind him.

What followed was crisp applause, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground, and the woman's charming words.

"I never expected that the exiled princess could make such a moving declaration."

"Giving power to the people is truly a bold decision..."

"Indeed, appearances can be deceiving."

"Is that so, Mentor Ryan?"

Ryan forced a wry smile.

He had long anticipated that someone would come to interfere with him, but he never expected that the other party would appear when his magic power was at its lowest.

However, since we're here, we might as well face it.

Ryan turned around and saw seven people emerge from the shadows in the corner.
