Melinda found this siege far worse than the first one she had been a part of. The Queendom was in a rush, made apparent by their willingness to just throw bodies at the city walls in an effort to take them down.
To make matters worse, they were la...

Easiest way to fix this was to make the skill not be able to be lowered in cost any more. Here is the passage that was changed. Sorry about this....

Matt wasn't doing what he expected when he took over the Kingdom's military affairs.
He had expected to lead troops into battle without any other real considerations. He was wrong.
So, so wrong.

So here's an 8k chapter.

My Euro readers brought up a good point its pretty late for them and the hour difference with daylight savings time make it pretty nice for them to read right before a normal bed time. I'll offer it to y'all to shift the time by an hour.
