An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1830

“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.”

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.
