The Third Prince's calm and gentle expression instantly froze, his face stiffened.
All his schemes fell apart.
In the face of absolute power, cunning plots might be useful, but they could not play a decisive role.
Any attempts at sowing discord or forcing a deployment of troops became empty talk.
The enemy would not fall for feints.
Dispatching an elite squad deep into the King's Forest was not much of a concern.
What followed was a full-scale assault.
The intensity and ferocity of this assault was greater than the sum of the previous two battles.
The stark contrast of power made the Third Prince feel a stifling pressure.
Taking several deep breaths, the Third Prince forcibly calmed himself and asked, "Who else knows about this news?"
The eldest prince opened his mouth wide, panting heavily to stabilize his chaotic breathing and pounding heart.
