"Well, it doesn't matter because my family moved away a long time ago."
"Oh, you are really cautious." Evelyn continued to ask.
"Then tell me about General Isaiah and see what kind of person your friend is."
"Isaiah..." Rock closed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that the face that made him want to punch appeared in front of him again.
"A lucky guy," he commented simply.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, although I was familiar with him when I was a child, it has been more than ten years since we last met, and the information I had in the past is no longer reliable."
"Then tell me about him in the past."
"In the past, he was the third son in the family. He was not under the control of his parents and was very free. He looked pretty good and would occasionally act silly. He was very optimistic and cared about the people around him. He was not a bad person, but a little lazy." Rock paused for a moment and added a few more words.
"He's very outgoing, good at making friends, and knows how to please girls."
"The last few points are what Mr. Assassin is jealous of, right? I see you're so cold and aloof, so I guess you didn't have any friends of the opposite sex when you were in school." Evelyn leaned back on the wooden chair, supporting her head with one hand, looking at Mr. Assassin not far away, as if searching her memory for the moment when she might have seen this man.
"Friends of the opposite sex? Indeed, I don't have any."
"How pitiful! Just think about how monotonous your college life is." After Evelyn said a few words, she seemed to be relieved a lot, and then continued to talk about business.
"Do you have any good ideas for General Isaiah?"
"I'm not a talent for commanding an army, nor am I a top graduate of Pier Academy. Your Majesty Evelyn, I'm afraid you're making things difficult for me."
"Then don't you recognize any famous generals? Oh, and do you know the whereabouts of Darcy and Sifley, the former three victorious generals?"
"Sifre retired after learning that Queen Lily had safely left. He was the Red Queen's confidant and had received her favor while at the academy, so he wouldn't be trusted by His Majesty Elio, so he simply left the army."
"I have a rough idea of where he lives now, but I won't go looking for him because I've spoken to him before and I know for sure that he doesn't want to get involved in the royal family's internal strife anymore."
"Okay, Queen Lily's confidant." Evelyn sighed as she recalled the inconspicuous little girl in school who later sat in the queen's seat.
The queen who came from a commoner family was able to sit in that position so firmly. Even after Amank's death, her position was not shaken. He was also the student union president of the school back then. Why didn't he have such a genius under his command?
"As for Darcy, he's probably still trapped in the perpetually frozen city of Titania. You don't have to worry about that. The forest elves tried to enter a while ago, but failed, losing a number of high-level transcendents."
"Many talented nobles in the central part of the empire have been killed in the constant internal strife, but the Eastern Territory has rarely intervened before. If you want to find someone capable of commanding on the battlefield, you'll probably have to turn to the Landsworthy family for help." Rock helped Evelyn analyze.
"I don't want to go. I can't show weakness in front of the Landsworthy family." Evelyn refused directly. As an emperor supported by others, her power and position were inherently delicate. Once she bowed her head, it would be difficult to maintain it in the future.
The two discussed for a while, during which Evelyn even asked if they could win over the person on the other side.
"The possibility is very low. Isaiah cares about his family very much, and her sister's husband is a direct vassal of the Salus family." Rock said this was impossible.
"What about the possibility of assassination?"
Rock paused for a moment before replying quietly, "You can try."
Looking at the assassin whose breath turned cold, Evelyn felt a little regretful. It seemed that she shouldn't have made such a suggestion.
"Just give it a try. Don't waste precious manpower. We don't have much manpower on our side anyway." She tried to save the situation a little.
"I'll go there myself." Rock raised his head and took a deep breath.
"No, if you go, what will I do? What if the Landsworthy family sends someone to arrest me one day? I won't even have anyone to protect me."
"I'm sorry, I'm just an assassin and I'm not good at protecting people." After saying that, he stood up and disappeared at the windowsill.
Quickly walking to the windowsill and looking at the deserted scenery below, Evelin stroked her forehead, feeling a little lost and empty.
Although this assassin abducted her, he was not a bad person. It was because of his existence that she was able to gain some independence from the Landsworthy family and avoid being completely controlled by them.
A week later, 100,000 troops from the Eastern Empire set out to support the fortress and caught up with a siege in progress. Because they arrived in time, the fortress was able to be defended and was not captured by the enemy.
Over the next month, the two sides engaged in several battles on the border.
Both sides tried various tactics, such as musket lines, artillery bombardment, cavalry charges, etc. In these rounds of fighting, although the Eastern Empire had an advantage in numbers, it still did not gain much advantage.
Seeing that their intentions and command style were about to be seen through and grasped by the enemy, the army of the Eastern Empire became conservative again, defending the city and no longer attacking rashly.
At the same time, after more than a month, Rock gradually grasped Isaiah's location and whereabouts.
One night, several high-level Darkmoon Assassins broke into the military camp. Although they did not kill Isaiah, they injured him and slowed down the offensive.
Another month later, the recovered Isaiah once again commanded the army to advance, gradually tearing a hole in the jagged border.
