Chapter 279 35: Last Plans

• At Xavier's instruction, the best of the king's squad gathered, and Sir Aira explained their mission to them. Their job was simple: they would attack Ville, Foth's capital and seat of power, and render the elders powerless in only a few hours. Once they established that, Sir Aira would stay and rule with the king's instructions until the war was over. Ace also knew about Foth; he knew almost every region and corner of the kingdom, from Ville to Dome. He lived there most of his life, so he could find his way even if he were blindfolded. He was an advantage to the mission.
• Ace thought it was a great plan of attack and promised to deliver Foth to the king and queen. Edward also chose to go along with them, increasing their advantage. When Xavier asked if he told Kailani about his decision, he said he did, and she supported it. There was nothing else to say; he wished them all the best, and the twenty-five brave soldiers took their leave.
• They took a few hours longer than expected, but the portal opened back up, and Ace and Edwards stepped into the throne room to meet Xavier. The evidence of the fight they had encountered showed up on them.
