The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 559

559.Chapter 559

Nolan said, “The king’s policies are insufficient, and officials act like local emperors. They wield their power with impunity, leaving the common people to suffer in silence.”

These words were a reflection of the current state of Woteria.

In Saint Snow City, this issue hadn’t been too obvious, as the people there had heard of the Black Flag Army to some extent.

But the people of Centrina City were a completely different matter.

When they looked out towards the Black Flag Army and Nolan’s group, their eyes were filled with suspicion.

Even though Eliza and the others hadn’t entered the city, they could clearly feel the intense hostility.

Nolan said, “No wonder Woteria’s heavy snow lasted for months without anyone reporting it. Only after disaster victims fled Woteria and other officials noticed the anomaly did Hasen City learn of the situation.”

Nolan’s expression darkened.

He stood at the entrance of the camp, watching the Black Flag Army organize everything in an orderly fashion.

He suddenly asked, “Serenity, do you think anyone will come out tomorrow?”

Eliza, without lifting her head as she mixed a new batch of cold–repelling medicine, replied, “No.”

From the way the citizens inside the city were so wary today, it was clear that no one would come out tomorrow.

Even if they wanted to, Governor Jefferson wouldn’t allow them.

If it were before, Nolan would have led his forces to smash through Centrina City’s gates and suppressed everything with iron–fisted authority.

But Woteria had already suffered for months, and its citizens had likely been brainwashed by Jefferson. They were now severely distrustful of the court.

If Nolan forcefully attacked, Jefferson would surely incite the people of Centrina City to confront the Black Flag Army.

In that case, the Black Flag Army, which had come to rescue the people, would be seen as an oppressive force.

Because of this, Nolan had ignored Jefferson’s invitation and set up camp outside the city instead.

Nolan agreed with Eliza’s assessment, but he would still prepare for the relief efforts tomorrow.

And it wouldn’t just be tomorrow–there would be relief efforts for the next few days.

In three days, he planned to completely resolve the situation in Centrina City.

They didn’t have much time to waste here.

There were indeed many citizens in Centrina City, but there were still many more in the rest of Woteria.

They had to act quickly.

“I’ll take care of the task of scouting inside the city. My insects have already infiltrated, and I expect to have a clear picture of Centrina City’s situation tonight,” Eliza volunteered.

“Good. Then the task is yours, but you cannot act alone, and you must stay within my sight, including tonight,” Nolan said seriously.

With Tina not around and news of Eliza’s arrival in Woteria likely already spreading, if Jefferson and his people had plans, they would certainly target Eliza first.

After all, whether it was Nolan himself or the Black Flag Army, they were formidable opponents.

But Eliza was just a defenseless woman.

Moving against her would be far easier than dealing with Nolan or the Black Flag Army.

While she had Nolan and the Black Flag Army protecting her, there were a thousand ways to harm one person, especially in Jefferson’s home turf.

This was why Nolan couldn’t leave Eliza out of his sight.

Eliza didn’t refuse, though she raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully, “I’m quite curious to see how they plan to make a move.”

Just then, several of the insects stationed a fe

Eliza paused, turned to Nolan, and said, “A carriage with several carts is approaching Centrina City. From the markings on the carriage, it looks like it’s someone from the Malone family.”

A few miles away, Louisa’s carriage was slowly approaching Centrina City. The driver noticed the large military presence near the city gates from a distance.

The carriage came to a halt.

Louisa, who had been resting her eyes, opened them in annoyance, “Why are we stopping again? Aren’t we nearly at Centrina City?”

The driver replied, “There’s a large army outside Centrina City.”

“An army?”

Louisa sat up straight, her curiosity piqued. “Could it be the Black Flag Army?”

“It seems to be.”

Louisa smiled, a glint of satisfaction in her eyes. “So, Prince Regent has already arrived in Centrina City. Let’s go ahead and ask if he’s entered the city yet.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The carriage soon approached the Black Flag Army’s camp, but it was stopped a hundred feet away.

Just as the guards prepared to approach and ask on Louisa’s behalf, a voice suddenly came from within.

A soldier called out, “We’ve seen Prince Regent.”

Nolan responded, “Hmm, have the food and supplies been counted?”

“It’s all been counted. No issues.”

Nolan asked, “How are the food and medicine depots?”

“They’ve been set up. Ten food depots, five medicine depots, and three supply points. Everything’s in order.”

“Good. Make sure to arrange patrols for the next few days. We can’t afford any slip–ups.”

“Yes, sir.”

Nolan continued giving orders, and the guards outside saw him clearly.
