The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 209 You Are the Marshal

+8 Pearls

The King was a little confused, but slowly, he seemed to understand. He looked at Isolde and asked, “Who told

you what you said just now?”

Queen Mother coughed. “That's not the point.”

The King pondered for a long time. “Mother, it's not that | care about our brotherhood. It's just that he hasn't

fully revealed his ambitions yet. What pretext do | have to attack? Besides, the generals in the court are

exhausted, the soldiers are weary, and our food supplies are insufficient. How can we wage this war of

rebellion?”

When Queen Mother heard this, she slowly sat up straight and raised her eyes. “When war begins, there will

definitely be trouble. Now that Kamari is still young and has just been defeated by Oliver, any military general

will delinitely be able to annihilate his ambition.”

“But, mother... “The King was also a little melancholic. “To be frank with you, | have already discussed this

matter with Garrett and Harrison. We all agree that now is not the right tfor military action. To mobilize

troops, we would need to consult both the morning court and the cabinet. | fear that by then, everyone will

object.”

Military power seemed to be concentrated, but it was extremely scattered. This was a huge disadvantage of the

empire.

The King could use force to send troops, but only in a situation where there were external forces. As for fighting

the vassal kings and traitors, it had to be discussed by the cabinet.

This was also the decree set by the ancestor. The purpose was to prevent sitting kings from being wary of their

royal kinsmen and to avoid fratricide.

Now, Kamari was acting covertly. There wasn’t enough evidence, and on top of that, Pablo had just returned from

war; the soldiers were exhausted. Waging a full-scale war would certainly be opposed by the cabinet.

If the cabopposed it, then they could not wage war internally. Besides, no marshal would dare defy the

decree left by our ancestors.

Queen Mother smiled faintly. “Civil war indeed requires consultation with the cabinet. And once there's any sign

of military action, Kamari will definitely find out. Do you really think he doesn’t have any spies in the court?”

“Then, what do you think we should do?” the King asked.

Queen Mother looked at Isolde. “How many troops do you think we need to annihilate Kamari now?”

“Five thousand!” Isolde said.

The King said coldly, “What a fool's dream!”

However, Queen Mother said to Isolde very seriously, “I will give you three thousand troops. The day at tomorrow

is an auspicious day. Your marriage shall be advanced. | hereby grant you this marriage and appoint Johnathan to

officiate it. On the night of your wedding, you shall take these three thousand men and leave through the

northwest gate.

Isolde was stunned. Three thousand men?

Isolde widened her eyes and looked at Queen Mother. She was stunned.

The King was also stunned and immediately objected, “Mother, no matter how many people are sent, she’s just

a woman. Even though she’s skilled, she’s never been on the battlefield. How can she resist an army of Kamari

Queen Mother smiled for the first ttoday. She looked at Isolde warmly. “Can you do it? Swear to the King

Isolde looked at the smiling Queen Mother and felt a chill in her heart. She looked at the King and said firmly. “I

swear by my life that | will surely kill the traitor this time.”

The King did not look happy, but he had always been obedient to Queen Mother. Moreover, he thought that

sending these three thousand men would at least help to gather smilitary intelligence.

Hence, he said, “That's not necessary. Remember, don't act rashly. Focus on spying. If there's any news, quickly

send it back.”

“Yes!” Isolde knelt down and accepted the order.

Queen Mother said. “Appoint Doug as the supervisory officer, Kolton as the deputy commander, and Lucas as the

forager. The supplies should go ahead and you disguise as merchants to leave from the east city gate. You will all

converge in Torstel. Before reaching Torstel, the troops must carry enough dry food and water and should not

stop along the way. Whether you disperse these three thousand troops or march together is up to you to decide.

Leave the palace immediately now and go to the North Camp to inspect the troops. My decree will follow shortly.

Your uncle Kolton will fully support you.”

With just a few words, it could be seen that Queen Mother had already made arrangements.

The King was slightly stunned and understood. He looked at Isolde meaningfully and said, “Don’t let us down.

“I promise!” Isolde said sternly.

After rebirth, Isolde was not afraid when facing the battlefield for the first time. Instead, she began to analyze

the enemy situation and her own military situation in her mind.

She stood up and took three steps back. “I'll take my leave!”

Then, she turned around and strode away.

In the hall, Queen Mother looked at the King. “Don’t understand why | made such an arrangement?”

The King shook his head. “Yes, | know. You probably have made a decision long ta ago.

“Yes, Kamari has to be eliminated, or else it will lead to a disaster.” She looked at the sunlight that slante

through the door. “I missed it once. If there's a chance to remedy the situation, | won't tolerate him.”

The King did not understand. “Mother, what do you mean?”

“Nothing much. After eliminating Kamari, you can rest easy. He is a major threat, and you know it in your heart.”

Queen Mother slowly retracted her gaze and looked at the King’s firm and handsface.

“I knew that he had the intention to rebel, but I was unwilling to believe that he would really mobilize his

troops. It was only when something happened to Oliver that | realized that he already had such an excellent.

weapon. Perhaps | was really wrong.” The King sighed softly.

Queen Mother said. “Theodore, those in power can only have the country and the people in their eyes. Even if

your brother is plotting to harm the country or hurt your people, you cannot show the slightest bit of

sentimentality. Sometimes, being merciful is the greatest cruelty.”

“I've learned my lesson!” the King said solemnly.

When you

n you ascended the throne, you took your father and uncle as examples in everything, acting with great vigor

and decisiveness. You implemented policies beneficial to the state and even defied public opinion to reduce

taxes and develop commerce. As a result, our empire truly prospered for several years. However, you have

always been a soft-hearted child. In recent years, I've seen you often hesitate in handling matters. From this, |

know that you've been deeply touched by Clark's policy theories. It shows that you are aware of your own

shortcomings. Now is not too late to make corrections.”

When the King heard Queen Mother's words, his gaze slowly becfirm.

After Isolde left the Mystic Palace, Sadie followed.

“Lady Sadie Bourbon, thank you!” Isolde said sincerely.

Sadie smiled. “Why are you thanking me? This was originally what Queen Mother meant.”

“Queen Mother trustsso much?” Isolde had just been afraid to ask just now, but she felt very strange in her

heart. I'm just an ordinary woman. In the eyes of everyone, I've never been on the battlefield and don’t know

how to fight. Why would the Queen Mother trustand entrustwith such an important task?

“Queen Mother has always done things unexpectedly. Moreover, she might think that no one would expect her to

appoint you as the marshal. Even if the King knew about you when you were deployed, he would not take you

and your 3,000 troops seriously.”

Isolde looked at Sadie in shock. “Sure enough, you know everything?”

Sadie even knew that Queen Mother had only given her three thousand troops.

“I've already told you that this was arranged by the Queen Mother long ago. Or else, why would your uncle

suddenly enter North Camp!” Sadie smiled.

“But with 3,000 troops, does she really believe that | can win?” asked Isolde.

“You'll have helpers.” Sadie turned around and left with a smile.

Isolde looked at her in a daze. Helpers?
