The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5030

Inside a grand palace on the vast Caxton Continent, Nilou's brows were tightly furrowed, a growing sense of unease building within her.

Jemina still hadn't arrived. Without the Murray family's support, there was no way the Caxton Continent could hold off the Eighth Hall's assault.

“My Lady, when's your reinforcement getting here? If we keep stalling, I can't even begin to count how many innocent folks in Caxton Continent will fall to the Celestial Palace's forces,” Andre said anxiously.

“Just a little longer. They should be here any moment now!” Nilou answered.

“My Lady, I can't keep waiting. Daprein has already fallen under the Celestial Palace's control. If we don't act soon, it'll be completely wiped out,” Andre pressed.

“What do you expect us to do?” Ashton asked.

“We aren't strong enough to fight back. We have no choice but to surrender. What else could we do—stand there and watch everyone die?” Andre replied.

“You traitor. I knew you'd fold. I ought to finish you off right now—”

As Ashton raised his hand to strike, Nilou cut him off, yelling, “Enough! Do you all really want to tear each other apart right now?”

Everyone went quiet, eyes turning to Nilou, waiting for a plan. But all she could do was wait and hope. Every moment that passed cost another life from the Caxton Continent.

Suddenly, someone burst through the doors, breathless and excited. “My Lady! They've retreated! Their forces have all pulled back!”

“What do you mean?” Nilou asked, eyes wide with disbelief.

“They're gone. The Celestial Palace people—they've left the Caxton Continent entirely!” the messenger exclaimed.

“What's going on?” Nilou asked, stunned but elated.
