Chapter 197: Driven Away
"Crash! Bang!"
Continuous crashing sounds echoed at the residence of the Commander.
He, who had just returned from outside, was seething with anger. His fists were clenched, and his whole body was trembling.
Standing a few feet away, his two Great Knight followers wanted to interrupt but were afraid to speak.
They understood the reason why the Commander was furious.
This was the umpteenth time that he had tried to visit that person, only for him to be driven away.
As the Commander of the famous Infernal Army, when had he ever been treated like that?
Worst of all, this was done using the worst of excuses.
Which Knight went in "seclusion" for weeks at a time?
Could it be that that woman would soon ascend to the Throne of Gods and enter the Divine Realm?
Everyone could see that this was merely an excuse. Liora simply did not want to meet the Commander and had ordered her servant to drive him away.
Let alone the Commander, even they, his subordinates, found it difficult to keep their composure.
Especially when they recalled the gifts that their Lord had given to that person, their disgust towards Liora grew increasingly more apparent.
"Lord, why did we leave? Can’t we just demand that we meet that woman? That servant is only a maid after all! If we press her enough, she will have to complete our request and remind her of our arrival."
These words were meant to comfort the Commander and lessen his fury.
But when they fell into his ears, he became even angrier.
He raised his hand and slapped the table in front of him before turning to his subordinate.
"Are you stupid? Wouldn’t that completely offend that person and force them to turn to Duchess Lobelia? Or do you think that we can just summon the army and besiege her?"
His voice was calm, but having followed him for a long time, the subordinate who spoke up noticed his annoyance. He swallowed the next words he was about to say.
In fact, the last part was really his thought.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Liora was, she would be unable to withstand the siege of the Infernal Army.
As long as the Commander gave an order, he believed that they could assemble and severely injure her, teaching her a lesson.
If things reached that point, they might even kill her!
Sensing his thoughts, the Commander didn’t scold him any further. He waved his hand and motioned his two subordinates to leave.
The moment they exited the room and closed the door behind them, the fury on his face vanished.
A pondering look replaced his earlier expression.
"Could it be that that woman is trying to accommodate the Godhead? Or is it that she is unwilling to interfere with the borders’ affairs?"
"According to the intelligence, she also refused to meet Duchess Lobelia’s people..."
Either way, as long as Liora did not choose to side with Duchess Lobelia, the Commander would be satisfied.
In the cold war between them, he had the advantage.
--
Liora did not know the conversation that happened between the Commander and his subordinates, nor could she possibly know his inner thoughts.
But given everything, she could guess something.
In fact, it was not only him.
Duchess Lobelia had also sent people to meet her many times over the past few days.
Her goal was similar to the Commander’s—she wanted to request that Liora side with her, or at the very least, not side with her opponent.
Just like she did with the Commander, Liora had also ordered Alpha to send the Duchess’s people away.
"These people are truly helpless. Their world is about to be ruined, and they are here fighting like children over mere mortal benefits.
