Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1650

The drums of war thundered as the battle raged fiercely. The Westhaven soldiers were even more desperate than they had been the day before. They charged forward recklessly, as if their lives depended on it.

Leroy didn't join the fight himself but stayed behind to command the troops. Carissa wanted to capture the leader to end the war, but it was impossible with him hiding away.

With their forces so uneven, only Dominic leading the charge at the front could inspire the troops' courage. Carissa worried greatly for him, as she was afraid he might be struck by an arrow. Even if it risked revealing her identity, she pressed through the crowd to stay close by his side.

The sons of the Sullivan family guarded Dominic as well, their spirits lifted by his presence. Together, they charged into battle. Meanwhile, Carissa focused entirely on her foes, one after another falling to her spear.

Dominic noticed her but didn't recognize her at first. When an arrow suddenly flew toward him, she leapt up and spun her spear to deflect it. As she glanced back, Dominic finally saw who she was and started in surprise.

The battle was too fierce for more words, but he called out to her: "Be careful."

Carissa knew she had been found out, but calmly responded, "Got it."

As night fell, the fighting came to an end for the day again, leaving tired horses and weary soldiers counting the wounded and the dead. Smoke hung thick over Victory Pass.

Carissa was brought back to Stormwatch Keep and sharply scolded by Dominic. Even so, she stubbornly refused to leave for the capital. Her clothes and face were bloodstained. Though the blood was the enemy's, it still made Dominic uneasy. Yet, no matter how he urged her, she wouldn't relent.

"You're reckless and willful. If your mother knew, how worried she would be! Have you no thought for her?" he snapped, growing frustrated.

"My only reason for being here is this battle." Carissa lifted her head. "Grandpa, General Leroy is eager to take Victory Pass. He fears General Liam's return.

"I know your plan is to hold out until General Liam comes back, but no one knows if he might have fallen into a trap, or something worse. We cannot hold on long. For now, the best course is to march to Fawnrun City and burn their supplies. Without food, they won't dare attack again."
