After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Chapter 169 Approaching the End

When news of General Freeman's defeat spread throughout the Southern Territory, Medivh, who had been lying low, finally saw the chaos unfold.

Freeman's defeat was just the beginning; in fact, the eastern part of the Fertile Plains was already in complete chaos.

Both armies had only one destination: Honeywater City!

At the end of July, Kate led his army in a skirmish with the Southern Knights, and both sides retreated more than ten miles.

After realizing that his plan to attack Honeywater had been exposed, Kate immediately deployed his soldiers to the mountains and forests near the valley in order to better harass the Southern Army.

Having obtained accurate intelligence on the enemy's movements and realizing that the Northern Army's true intention was to perish with them, the Southern Army's generals panicked and hurriedly led their troops into the mountains to launch a massive search operation.

In early August, the Northern Army's long-lance cavalry launched a surprise attack on Honeywater City, encountering numerous obstacles along the way and fighting dozens of battles before finally retreating.

The pressure from the Northern Army is growing, and the Southern leadership is well aware that this is just a rehearsal.

Once the Northern armies have fully united, they can attack Honeywater City from the east and intimidate Plenty City from the west. A great battle between the two sides is inevitable...

Small-scale battles continued in the mountains and plains until September. After the wounds on her abdomen scabbed over, Luna and her companions finally received contact from the special forces unit in the royal city.

The letter ordered them to launch a feigned attack on Honeywater in mid-September to delay the return of the Southern Commander's main army.

Luna, upon receiving the letter, still couldn't understand what methods the other side could use to quickly end the war.

It sounds like a decapitation strike, but are they really that confident?

After all, what's the point of just drawing away the army? Which duke isn't surrounded by powerful figures? If it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, it's probably difficult to achieve the established strategic objectives.

Moreover, throughout history, there seem to be very few successful cases of decapitation strikes.

King Frank was probably grasping at straws, Luna couldn't help but think. But what did this have to do with her, the young lady of the Northern Territory?

Forget feints and stalling for time; she absolutely had to take Honeywater City. Once she occupied it, she'd see who in the Southern Territory would dare to raise their voice at her. Even Freeman would have to obediently come over and polish her shoes.

Luna tapped her forehead and quickly came up with a wicked idea.

She summoned her personal guards and instructed them, "Quietly spread the news that we will attack Honeywater City in mid-September, and then have Commander Kate come back so I can make the necessary plans."

……

News of the disturbances in the southern territory quickly reached the capital.

Frank, who was having lunch, was stunned. His mouth was agape, and he didn't react for a long time.

After quickly eating a few bites, Frank hurried back to his study and began flipping through the various news reports from the Southern Territory.

Frank was confused for a moment. Wait a minute, was it the Central Army fighting the Southern Army, or their Northern Army fighting the Southern Army? How come the Central Army had no battles every day, while the Northern Army was advancing steadily?

What are the generals at the front doing? Why don't they take advantage of this opening to launch an attack?

Also, with Luna being so unconventional, won't she really affect Mr. Medivh's plans?

Countless questions filled Frank's mind, and when he saw the next message, his anxiety finally died.

Of the six thousand imperial guards entrusted to Luna, nearly two thousand were killed in action!

Frank, his fists clenched tightly, felt a sudden dizziness. Luna, Luna, are you leading my soldiers in some kind of extermination war?! Two thousand men, each one the future of the kingdom, just like that, gone?

But then Frank thought about it again and felt relieved.

Luna is ultimately a genuine person. Compared to the slacking Eastern Army and even the Western Army, which is made up of mediocre soldiers, she at least put in real effort and conquered quite a few cities.

At least it looks good when it's publicized, since people ask about the situation on the front lines in the south.

Frank could answer immediately: After months of hard fighting, we have pushed the front line to the Plain of Fertile City.

"Your Majesty, the mother bear being raised in the palace is about to give birth. Would you like a veterinarian to come and provide care?"

Leia walked in carrying a huge stack of documents, immediately drawing a speechless stare from Frank. Has this little girl been a bit too diligent lately? Couldn't she slow down her document-organizing pace?

Frank nodded, turned around, and put away the intelligence file.

"My princess is also nearing her due date, so it will be a double celebration. The little prince, the little princess, and a little bear will grow up together. It sounds so cute."

Seeing Frank's radiant, dreamy expression about the future, Leia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I'm the one who takes care of your pregnant wife, I'm the one who takes care of your pregnant pet, and even your daily work relies on my help..."

How cute! Weren't you complaining yesterday that pregnant women are the most troublesome?

Leia realized that Frank was a shameless guy, and she could even predict her future life in the palace.

After a busy day, Frank arrives at the harem, exclaims, "My child is so cute!", hugs him, then hugs another, quickly tosses the child to Rhea, and then kicks her out...

After glancing at the intelligence in Frank's hand, Leia put down the document and quickly left the king's study.

Frank has been paying close attention to the affairs of the Southern Territory lately, and Luna and the Northern Army have suddenly launched a large-scale military operation, suggesting that the two sides have reached some kind of cooperation.

Add to that the elusive Mr. Medivh...

To be honest, Leia was a little conflicted about whether to take this opportunity to leave the royal city.

After the war in the Southern Territory ends, the conflict between the Northern Territory and the Central District will most likely quickly become public. Rhea knows that she is already involved with the Northern Territory, and that she cannot get the future she wants in the palace.

Does this mean I really have to be Frank's sidekick for the rest of my life?

With a quiet sigh, Leia, having finished her morning work and having nothing to do in the afternoon, walked out of the palace.

On the surface, she was a princess, but the guards all knew the truth and turned a blind eye to her departures each time, which could be considered a small perk allowed by King Frank.

Unlike her previous aimless wanderings, this time Leia's steps were very clear: the Holy See.

The two newest things happening in the royal city are the miraculous girl who can create holy water and the violent brawl at World Tree Academy.

With the attitude of wanting to get the most complete gossip, Leia jogged into the Vatican and knocked on the office door.

Archbishop John, wearing a pair of loose-fitting glasses, put down the documents in his hand with a rather helpless expression.

"Why are you here again, Your Highness?"

John sighed. He wasn't worried about revealing anything, since no one would consider Leia an important person.

Even the Western dukes couldn't stand up straight, so what did it matter that the dukes had sold their daughters?

If Frank sends someone to follow Rhea, John will laugh at him for the rest of his life.

"Don't you have any interesting news here?" After a while, Leia gradually became bolder and dared to directly ask John for information.

She put one hand on her hip and chattered away. "Do you have any inside information about a brawl at World Tree Academy? I want to see."

John chuckled. "That's not a brawl."

John took a document from the file folder and solemnly handed it to Leia. "Girl, compared to you bunch of cheap junk, World Tree Academy is the real monster-breeding institution."

"I'll send someone to deliver this to you later. Remember to give this document to His Majesty Frank."
