Dale replied slowly, "Patrick Richie."
"Patrick Richie?"
Wilbur asked puzzlingly, "Who is he? Is he a member of the Moda military too?"
Dale nodded and said, "Yes. Patrick Richie is the highestmanding officer in the Moda military now. General Victor used to be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthemander of the Moda military when Patrick was only a mere cultivator. Later on, it was said that General Victor fell ill, and
Patrick was hired to treat his illness. I'm not quite sure what happened next, but Patrick eventually replaced General Victor. General
Victor's family said he has been ill for the past two years and claims that Patrick is just a temporary replacement."
Wilbur frowned and asked, "So, is he the mastermind behind the Night Demon operation?"
Dale nodded and said without hesitation, "Of course. The Night Demon Project is a special research initiative developed by Patrick
after gaining control of the military. Even the recent unauthorized crossing of the Kosanto borders by Moda's border military was
orchestrated by him. This person has now essentially replaced the Moda military leadership. However, due to the arrogance of
Modans and the existing grievances between Moda and Kosanto, no one suspects Patrick's plan. We recruited a lot of sacrificial
soldiers for this project.”
Dale shook his head and laughed bitterly, then said, "I don't know if this is good or bad, but | do know that once they start

choices. Otherwise, someone might force you and leave you with no choice. In that case, there's no difference to being slaves."
Wilbur looked at Dale and said, "It looks like you're quite smart."
