Female Novel
Chapter 1130
James said solemnly, “I don’t have a choice. In a short amount of time, many powerful figures called
me to warn against escalating the situation and to accept the enemy’s demands. Help me think of
something, Maxine.”
Maxine had been paying close attention to this incident the moment James called Thea.
Then, news came from the Cadens. After hearing of this, she had been thinking of a way to deal with
the three thousand-strong mercenaries while suffering minimal losses.
Now, she had a general idea of what to do.
“James, from what I understand, these mercenaries know that they will be fighting against the Red
Flame Army in the Capital. This means that they have no plans of returning alive.”
“This is rather problematic.”
“They are most certainly risking their lives for money. Before battle breaks out, try demoralizing the
mercenaries. Promise them you will reward them with a sum as long as they surrender. Once a few
wavers, seize the opportunity and make a breakthrough.”
“You’re the Black Dragon. You have seen and experienced many combats. You know what to do.”
This was the only way Maxine could think of with the limited time she had.
“I understand. I’ll give it a try.”
James hung up the phone.
Now, he had a rough idea of what to do.
He ordered, “Red Flame Army, prepare to get into position. Snipers, into position. Once I give my
orders, I want you to end the battle as soon as possible. Do not give the enemy breathing space.
Soldiers in Hope Villa District, swiftly head toward the periphery and occupy the high ground. Once I
give my order, work together with the Red Flame Army from outside.”
After giving his orders, James walked toward the convoy Halvor was in.
Halvor was sitting in the convoy with a composed look on his face.
Upon seeing James, he smiled, “James, I believe you will make the right choice.”
Glancing at Halvor, James said coldly, “Halvor, what a bold man you are. This should have been over
once I arrested you. Now that you have created such a commotion, it wouldn’t be easy for me to deal
with the mess.”
“I only want to live,” Halvor said coldly.
“Take him out,” James ordered.
The handcuffed Halvor was immediately brought out.
James then headed toward the entrance of Hope Villa District with him.
At the same time, in Peace Mansion…
The King and Mr. Lee were together.
The King was wearing a grim expression. He was worried that the situation would escalate out of
control. The consequences would be dire.
“Mr. Lee, can James really resolve the issue?”
Mr. Lee was composed. No one knew what he was thinking about. However, deep down, he was
worried.novelbin
After all, no ordinary people live in Hope Villa District. Now that news had spread, panic swept the
nation. If not properly resolved, the consequences would be dire.
“I think so.” Mr. Lee was unsure. After all, the mercenaries were armed with heavy weaponry and were
unafraid to die.
The King said, “If the situation escalates out of control and Hope Villa District becomes a battlefield,
many innocent lives will be lost. Even a single death would shake the pillars of Sol. I just received news
that James has mobilized the Red Flame Army while declining to accept the call of the powerful figures
in the military. He’s going all out.”
Mr. Lee said, “As a military man, he knows what to do. I believe he will compromise when necessary.
Besides, we don’t have any other options now. We can only have faith in him. If he can successfully
resolve this matter, the dynamics of the Capital will completely change. Think of it as a purge in
advance.”
“Mhm… I hope James will handle the situation well.” The King nodded.
Since he made James the Emperor, he believed in his ability. However, he also had a backup plan. He
only hoped that needless bloodshed could be avoided. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to clean
up the mess.
