Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1653

Aurora was in disbelief. It was such a difficult mission, yet they were only planning on sending seven people?

Earlier, she had said she would bring Carissa and her friends along on this mission. That was because she hoped that including Dominic's granddaughter would persuade him to appoint more soldiers to the mission. With more men, Aurora could keep herself safe while making sure she completed the mission and earned merit.

But now, hearing that only seven people would go, she thought less of glory and more of survival. The risk far outweighed the reward. She was no fool and didn't wish to volunteer.

Yet Aurora didn't refuse at once. Instead, she rose and looked at Carissa. "You initially intended to go with only five people, right? Are you certain you can complete the task without fail?"

Carissa met her gaze steadily. "Nothing is ever without risk. We can only do our best."

Aurora frowned. "And how sure are you?"

"Probably a sixty or seventy percent chance. But even if we fail, we plan to return unharmed," Carissa replied.

She had no wish to answer Aurora, but with her grandfather and the other generals present, she spoke not only to the other woman but to all of them as well.

Aurora shook her head. "The supply depot will surely be heavily guarded. With just five people, how can you claim a sixty or seventy percent chance? And to boast you'll all come back safe? If this fails, the enemy will be warned, and such a plan can never be used again."

She turned to Dominic with a respectful bow. "Sir, this is no small matter. We must send a skilled and strong force if we are to succeed. I ask to lead an elite troop, alongside General Warren, to Fawnrun City..."

Before she could finish, Tyler interrupted sharply: "General Dominic has already made his decision. The surprise attack will proceed."

Aurora pressed on: "Sir, seven is too few. Even carrying the oil to light the fire will be difficult. If the attack fails, the enemy will be alerted and reinforce their defenses. This plan cannot succeed twice. I beg you to reconsider."

Dominic then looked at Carissa. "Explain your plan. How do you justify such confidence?"
