"I have never seen a woman as radiant and beautiful as Princess Isabella, Rita, I may..."

(sorry......)

"Liar!"

Rita's face drained of color. She stared at Ignaz in disbelief: "You, you're lying! Why did you lie to me?"

"After meeting Her Highness the Princess, I can no longer look down on someone as common as you."

(I can't involve you all in this.)

"Cancel the engagement? Haha, perfect for me..."

"Snapped"

Rita slapped the man hard and ran away crying.

"..."

Ignaz trembled as he stared blankly at Rita's departing figure.

'I'm sorry, Rita. I'm sorry, Uncle.'

'I...I can't let go of this hatred! I must take revenge on the royal family!!!'

.................................................. ..................

Since successfully persuading Ignaz to surrender, Isabel has noticed a change in how the nobles look at her.

A super strong person, a person who seems to have a deep hatred for Marquis Yog, was persuaded by the princess just like that?

As expected of Princess Isabelle, she is truly captivating!

Although Ignaz greatly improved Isabel's reputation among the nobility, what the princess was most satisfied with about him was that this man was completely on her side and dared to say 'no' to Carmen on many occasions.

She was surrounded by many royalists, but they backed down as soon as Carmen mentioned the Marquis of Yog.

Ignaz is different; he can stick to his guns to the very end!

After a while, the princess came to believe that Count Ignaz was a trustworthy person, much better than the other nobles around him who were not firm in their stance.

Section 683, Chapter 682: The Heirs

“Ignaz, the army’s advance is slow. Do you think we should protest Carmen’s incompetence to Marquis Yog?”

This was Ignaz's first time attending a secret royalist meeting, and he shook his head in response to the scrutinizing gazes of the nobles.

“Your Highness, I think Carmen is a capable person.”

"what?"

Isabel immediately looked displeased: "Gillian led the Northern Alliance army on a triumphant advance, and Carmen is nowhere near as good as her! What talent does he have?"

"Yes, yes, I think Carmen is just a mediocre person."

"We shouldn't have agreed to break up the team in the first place and let him coordinate everything. Look at us now, we haven't had any major victories after all this time!"

"The reason why the North is advancing triumphantly while the South is struggling is, in my opinion, because the South lacks a strong general who can boost morale."

Ignaz said calmly, "Without a fierce general to lead the charge, no matter how capable Carmen is, she can only adopt a conservative approach."

"Ignaz, whose side are you really on?"

One of the nobles complained, "Why are you all speaking up for Carmen?"

"To be honest, I don't think I could have managed to lead such a disorganized and uncoordinated army."

"Alright, alright, we're all on the same side, let's not get angry."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Isabelle quickly tried to smooth things over.

“Your Highness, please recommend me to Carmen,” Ignaz suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Ignaz said earnestly, "I am willing to take the lead and become the valiant general who can inspire morale in the South!"

"really?"

Isabel was both surprised and delighted. She did have this plan, but she had kept it to herself.

Even a princess cannot force a count to charge into battle.

Now look what's happened, Ignaz has actually volunteered!

“Your Highness, I’m willing to do anything to help you.”

Ignaz smiled at Isabel: "I only hope that you will remember Ignaz's contributions."

"Don't worry, Isabel has seen everything you've done!"

.......................................................................

"Carmen has been gone for a long time, hasn't she?"

"Yes, my lord, it has been more than four months."

"Is it not over yet?"

"The military intelligence from both the North and the South is here. Please take a look."

"Well"

The little girl opened the intelligence report and was immediately startled.

"Gavin, why are so many people dying lately? It was relatively normal before, but now the daily death toll is very strange."

“My lord, Carmen used to fight steadily and cautiously, but now his fighting style is risky and aggressive.”

"Why the sudden change in style?"

"Because a powerful general has joined us, look here."

“Ignaz…”

The little girl vaguely remembered the name. After a moment of thought, she finally remembered who he was.

"That's strange, why would he help Isabel?"

"They probably want revenge against the Yogites."

Gavin gestured: "Should we take care of him?"

"That's not right, he has no grudge against Bubble."

The little girl was puzzled: "It was clearly Bach who sent the alien bugs to poison Earl Dalton, and Ignaz knew that."

Didn't Ophelia tell you about this?

Seeing Gavin's surprised expression, the little girl asked curiously.

"..."

"Our Lord has been busy with official duties lately and has probably forgotten such a trivial matter."

"Haha, you used to handle all her 'official duties,' right? Ophelia has been complaining to me about how you bullied her."

"Huh? I thought the cult leader would be very grateful to me."

"After all, I'm the one who cleaned up the mess she and her father made."

At this point, Gavin also became somewhat wistful.

He used to hold multiple jobs and often worked late into the night, yet no one spoke well of him.

Now I have a lot of free time; all I have to do is compile intelligence, and I get praise from the Savior from time to time.

Gavin often wondered if this was his good fortune.

“Gillian, you all speak very highly of her.”

"Yes, my lord."

Gavin organized his thoughts: "She is the Duke of Highway's second daughter and the de facto commander of the Northern Alliance."

"Oh?"

The little girl looked interested: "Tell me more about it."

"This Gillian was previously kept under wraps by Duke Hayway and remained unknown. No one would have imagined that she would be so skilled in military campaigns!"

"Compared to her, Duke Hayway can only be considered a military talent."

"It seems pretty impressive."

“She is indeed remarkable. At first, no one was convinced of her abilities. It was Duke Haiwei who overruled the objections and made her the ‘temporary commander-in-chief’.”

"Temporary Commander-in-Chief?"

"Yes, that is, when Duke Hayway is not around, she is the one who calls the shots in the army."

Gavin recalled the intelligence and couldn't help but laugh: "Then, at every crucial moment, Duke Hayway would always 'disappear' for a day or two."

"Haha, those generals must be getting really anxious."

"Of course they're in a hurry; some even started cursing on the spot."

"However, the first time there were curses, the second time there were only complaints, and the third time everyone had already accepted Gillian as the commander."

"How did she do that?"

"He can predict the enemy's moves like a god, and he will win every battle."

Gavin's expression turned serious: "While she is a talented leader, we suspect there is some mysterious influence that enabled her to achieve this."

"The fighting spirit of the northern soldiers would rise to an eerie level in every battle."

"Mysterious influence, huh? If we don't count the mystery surrounding the military, Carmen isn't any worse than her."

The little girl seemed to have lost interest in Gillian and asked about another name that appeared frequently in the intelligence: "What about Alfre? He's Gillian's brother. How's he doing in the war?"

"Although he is far inferior to his younger sister, Alf is still a formidable general. Moreover, his cultivation is quite good; he is a grandmaster at a young age."

After a pause, Gavin said, "Aside from the fact that Duke William's child is quite young, we can't tell anything yet."
