Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 539
Chapter 539
Since the war, the border city of Sandoria had been heavily guarded, especially now that negotiations with
Starhaven were underway. Sandoria’s aim was to exchange the prisoners in their custody for the city of
Simonton. Consequently, the dungeon where the prisoners were held was guarded by a substantial force.
After being in Sandoria for several days, Rafael and his team had finally pinpointed. the location where Septimus
was imprisoned-a heavily fortified outpost on the edge of the city. They had also thoroughly mapped out the
prison’s layout within the high walls.
However, they didn’t know about Oliver's five-day deadline, and what's more, tomorrow would mark the end of
this period.
Rafael knew that Victor would be meeting with Oliver for negotiations again the next day. Even though the prince
wasn't aware of the exact deadline, he suspected that Oliver wouldn't follow his orders to delay the negotiations
further.
Rafael decided that while Victor was occupied with negotiations at Fangridge Mountain tomorrow, it would be the
perfect tto execute their rescue plan.

Victor was known for his large entourage of skilled guards, and he would likely take most of them with him to the
negotiations. Having spent so much ton the Southern Frontier battlefield and having suffered defeat against
the Hell Monarch Army, Victor harbored a natural fear and hatred for them.
If Oliver refused the negotiations outright, Victor would likely leave quickly and be back by late tomorrow night.
So, it was crucial to see if Oliver would stall during the negotiation process. If he adopted a vague stance, he
might be able to keep Victor at Fangridge Mountain until the day after tomorrow. That would give Rafael and his
team more tfor the
rescue.
Jacob had the rescue operation planned out. The plan was to have one person waiting outside to provide support
while the other three would breach the prison to rescue Septimus. Dylan was assigned to stay outside and
handle the situation. The operation was scheduled for dusk, when the guards would be changing shifts.
The three people going in were skilled fighters, but breaking into the heavily guarded fortress and rescuing the
prisoners from the dungeon would still be quite challenging. However, Rafael and Everett had previously snuck in
at night. Although

they hadn't reached the dungeon, they were familiar with the general layout and the guards’ shift rotations. That
gave them a reasonable chance of success.
Meanwhile, in a wooden hut located near Bell River on the outskirts of the border city, ten men were gathered
around a low table. They were rough-looking, had beards, and were dressed in fishermen'’s attire. Their faces
were weathered and darkened by the sun, similar to the local fishermen.
They huddled around a blueprint laid out on the low table. The blueprint had been hard-earned-they had
captured a craftsman who had participated in the construction of the military post years ago and coerced him
into drawing it.
However, the craftsman had only been involved in the construction, so he didn’t have. the original plans. The
drawing was made from memory, and now, the craftsman was locked in a back room. He would be released after
the rescue was completed.
“Tomorrow night should be our last chance, one of the men said, pointing to the blueprint with a serious and
composed expression. “But the rescue will be tough, and we may all die in there. We only know the building's
layout and nothing about its defenses. The dungeon will undoubtedly be heavily guarded. With only ten of us,
we're facing impossible odds.
“So, I'll ask you all: those who agree to go on the rescue mission, raise your hands. Those who don’t agree
should take the opportunity to leave when Marshal Crow departs the border city tomorrow. Return to Simonton
City to reunite with your families.”

The man on the left frowned. “Tom, what are you saying? We are members of the Septimus Tetra reconnaissance
team, and we won't abandon anyone. During the war, we might have survived by any means to get intel.
“But the battle is over now, and the Southern Frontier has been reclaimed. We can’t leave Law behind to be
tormented. If we go back, we go together. If we die, we die together.”
“That's right,” the others chimed in. “All eleven of us-if we die, we die together. If we live, we live together.”
Tom's eyes brimmed with tears. Over the years, he had hidden and disguised himself, blending into various parts
of the border city. He had braved the sun, rain, snow, and frost. He was no longer the distinguished Thomas
Farrell of the past.

He was just plain old Tom now.
Alongside him were Hom, Felix, Josh, Ben, Bruce, Ivan, Scott, Wilfred, and Tobias. There were two pairs of
brothers in their group-Josh and Ben, as well as Scott and Wilfred.
Since the establishment of the Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team, they had no distinctions between general
and soldier. They were equals, united by a single purpose-to relay the intelligence they gathered.
Tom slammed the table. “Alright, we'll move out at five in the evening tomorrow!"
