While Kreech carefully arranged the final move of his chess game, Anka had already found Princess Korena's residence.

Korena did not live in the palace but in the barracks of the Third Army.

Anka bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Your Highness, everything has been prepared according to His Highness the Crown Prince's meticulous plan. Now, we only await your command."

Korena, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, like a quiet statue immersed in her personal world of cultivation, opened her eyes upon hearing Anka's words. The cold light flashing in her eyes was like the stars in a winter night, clear and sharp.

In that instant, Anka seemed to feel an invisible pressure, and he couldn't help but swallow.

He was amazed in his heart. This princess, who usually followed His Highness the Crown Prince with a smile and was as gentle as water, now exuded such a powerful aura. This huge contrast caught him off guard.

Korena slowly stood up, her voice firm and decisive: "Since Royal Brother has entrusted me with such an important task, I will do my best to live up to his expectations. Issue the order to act immediately! After the operation starts, send someone to report to Father."

Emperor Gustav had not enjoyed a peaceful night for a long time.

The rebellion in the Northwest was like a sudden storm, disturbing the peace of the empire.

Those border princes, like sharks smelling blood, were restless, trying to seek personal gain in the turmoil of the empire.

Just as the empire was in turmoil, Soren led his troops to quell the rebellion in the Northwest swiftly.

Just as Gustav was about to breathe a sigh of relief, large-scale corruption in the army, like a hidden undercurrent, surfaced due to the impact of the war.

He was shocked to discover that this corruption was so rampant, like a huge abscess, corroding the body of the empire.

After the incident, these people, taking advantage of the unstable situation in the empire, even gathered to resist, attempting to threaten the empire by starting a war.

Their actions filled Gustav with anger. Soren once again demonstrated his decisiveness and strategy. He reacted quickly, ordering Korena to bring back the Third Army and suppress the chaotic situation with overwhelming force.

That night, Gustav was finally able to sleep peacefully. However, the good times did not last long. In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by urgent knocking on the door. The anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and he roared angrily, "What is the matter that you are so panicked?!"

The guard outside the door answered tremblingly, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report."

Gustav instantly sobered up. He realized that the empire's crisis was far from over.

Gustav asked, "What urgent military report?"

"The military camps outside the city are fighting."

"What?"

An hour ago.

The atmosphere in Kreech's camp was heavy.

Just as Kreech was hesitating, a deafening roar of killing suddenly came from outside the tent, breaking the silence of the night.

The black-robed man's face changed abruptly, his voice with a hint of urgency: "What happened?"

A guard rushed into the tent breathlessly and reported, "Commander Kreech, it's bad! Steve has betrayed us. He opened the gate, and the Royal Guard Knights have already rushed into the camp!"

"What?!" Kreech turned his head in shock, only to find that the black-robed man had quickly torn open the tent and disappeared into the night.

Korena stood at the top of the camp, her eyes like blades, sharply scanning the camp.

"Action!"

The low command exploded in the silence, and an elite force led by Korena moved like ghosts.

The fire was extinguished by the wind, and the camp fell into darkness.

That was the code agreed upon by Steve and other defectors.

The four gates of the camp were opened at some point, and the defectors' army went to seize important strongholds such as the armory and granary.

Once these places were taken, they could force the soldiers in the camp to surrender.

Korena took the lead, and the long sword in her hand accurately cut off the throat of the first sentry like lightning in the night.

The silent killing was even more chilling under the moonlight.

The other soldiers also pounced out like cheetahs, the weapons in their hands flashing with a ghostly blue light in the night, each wave meaning the fall of a life.

The guards in the camp did not expect the attack to be so fast. In the chaos, Korena pointed her sword to the ground and shouted like thunder: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Her voice echoed in the night sky, bringing a glimmer of hope to those in despair.

Gradually, the soldiers began to waver, and they dropped their weapons one after another, raising their hands to these sudden reinforcements.

As for those officers who wanted to resist stubbornly, they were all beheaded by the surrendered officers.

This battle came quickly and ended quickly.

After the man in black escaped into the night, Kreech's heart was filled with alarm.

He instantly realized that the situation was out of control, and there was more than one or two traitors hidden in the camp.

At this moment, trust had become a luxury, and he had to make a quick decision.

A trace of determination flashed in Kreech's eyes. He was not a person who was easily shaken.

In the vortex of chaos and betrayal, he resolutely chose to escape.

Inside the camp, flames soared into the sky, and shouts of killing rose and fell.

The soldiers were panicked and fled in all directions. The former order had collapsed.

Kreech took the opportunity to mix into the panicked crowd, using his familiarity with the camp's terrain to plan a secret escape route.

He led a few loyal guards, shuttling through the night, skillfully avoiding one team of searching soldiers after another.

On the road to escape, he was the highest person in charge of this mutiny. Others could surrender, but he couldn't. Even if he surrendered, he would inevitably end up on the gallows.

When the dust settled, after hearing that the biggest BOSS Kreech had escaped, Korena was so angry that she beheaded a newly surrendered centurion with one sword.

Jean Lerant, who was next to him, was shocked when he saw this.

"Your Highness, don't be too excited. Many surrendered soldiers are watching."
