“What? Kill to cover it up?” Wyatt’s face instantly darkened.

He added, “You’re not joking, are you? The Northern Four Sovereigns are all Julius’ people.

How could he possibly indiscriminately slaughter them?”

“Those who achieve great things must be ruthless. For someone like Julius, with extensive

military experience, sacrificing some soldiers is nothing,” Elijah said calmly.

He went on, “Of course, this is the ultimate plan. Suppose the Northern Four Sovereigns

successfully seize power and retrieve the Marshal’s military insignia. In that case, he won’t

need to take such risks. He can ascend directly.”

He concluded, “However, if the Northern Four Sovereigns fail, for the sake of his grand

ambition, I believe Julius will resort to any means necessary.”

The more ambitious someone was, the more unconventional their actions could become.

Previously, under Rufus’ rule, Julius concealed his true intentions, patiently biding his time.

Now, with Rufus gone, Julius was free from constraints and emerged as an unstoppable

force akin to an unleashed tempest.

“If that’s the case, we should indeed be cautious,” Wyatt said.

The Black Dragon Army was the strongest force in West Lucozia and possibly the world.

Whoever controlled the Black Dragon Army could dominate them all.

As the grand general, if Julius exploited the pretext of restoring order in the name of

loyalty to the throne, there would be a considerable likelihood of controlling the Black

Dragon Army.

In the inevitable conflict that followed, the lines between right and wrong blurred. Only the

victorious could lay claim to the throne, while the vanquished were relegated to the status

of the defeated.

“Esteemed lords, as the pillars of West Lucozia, your insights are invaluable. Do you have

any strategies to suggest?” Eloise inquired cautiously.

“I’m good at fighting, not so much at strategizing,” Wyatt said helplessly.

“Me neither,” Tyrus said, shaking his head.

“Sir Blaze, you’re wise and experienced. How about offering some insights?” Elijah looked

at Lincon.

They successfully persuaded the army at the castle gates to surrender due to Lincon’s

strategy of influencing officers through their friends and family.

Many officers, although unafraid of death themselves, cared about the well- being of their

loved ones. Through this emotional approach, they managed to subdue the hundred-

thousand-strong army without a single loss.

“I may not be a genius, but I do have two immature ideas,” Lincon said.

“Oh? Sir Blaze, please share,” Eloise’s eyes lit up.

Julius was a massive threat, and the sooner they dealt with him, the better.

“The first idea, for the simplest and most effective stabilization of the situation, is to

immediately select a new Prince of West Lucozia and announce it to the world,” Lincon

suggested.

He went on, “This way, even if Julius wants to seize power, he won’t find any excuse to

deploy troops. Otherwise, it would be considered rebellion. The Black Dragon Army’s

leaders won’t heed his orders.”

“Great idea!” Wyatt’s eyes sparkled. ” Once the prince is decided, Julius won’t stir up

much trouble unless he burns all bridges and risks everything to rebel. But that’s basically

a suicidal path.”

“Exactly.” Tyrus nodded. “In my opinion, we might as well have Austin ascend tonight.

Then, announce it to the world tomorrow morning.”

His daughter was already engaged to Austin. The sooner Austin ascended to the throne,

the sooner Tyrus’ daughter would become the new princess consort.
