Chapter 4 Episode 38

Editor : Starbuck11, key

A country existed in the southwest part of the western continent

A city-state, filled with te majestic marbles

Despite the border with the southern kingdodo tense, the country had survived preserving its independence for many years

No ed, there was no effect to this city-state

Even Orto so they would be able to gain the southern harbor they had desired for so long

It was as if the country was a giant sleeping monster In fact, if that monster ake, it would be easy for them to conquer the entire continent

The name of that city-state was Holy city Meneztia <tln: the=”” naiven=”” 1=”” more=”” character,=”” it=”” can=”” be=”” translated=”” as=”” meneoz'=”” tears=”” with=”” the=”” name=”” of=”” the=”” God=”” in=”” it,=”” idk=”” if=”” this=”” was=”” a=”” typo=”” by=”” the=”” author=”” or=”” not=”” but,=”” let=”” us=”” be=”” safe=””>

It was the city of God dedicated to the light God Meneoz, and it was the hoanization with believers across the continent

While soht've called it a temple city, it was not like the entire toas an inviolable sanctuary

When world war happens, even a religious community cannot protect themselves with only the authority of abstract divine existence

The city was protected by high walls Above all else, it had guards watching the surroundings at all times with sharp eyes

Those guards had thick iron arhtly

And the light in the eyes of those alked around the toas full of desires

It was the gaze that should not belong to the servants of God

And the soldiers were not the only ones who had such a gaze

These people were like hungry wolves

They were people who foolishly believed that they were people blessed by the God and that their actions were for God <tln: basically=”” a=”” bunch=”” of=”” zealots=””>

They shouted the name of God as a tool to satisfy their desires

And deep inside this city, located at its center, the noblest ently relaxed in the luxurious chair that was silass filled hile hearing reports from his subordinates

Luxurious canonical robe hite as base color, seith gold threads The gloss of the garments indicated that the clothes he ere made of silk

The staff decorated with jewels that were by the h status

”Hoo, Ortomea has pulled their army back?”

”Yes, Your Holiness After the death of Greg Moore, the Notiz Fort has fallen into the enemy's control”

”What about the casualties?”

”According to the spy report, the Ortomean side immediately proposed a ceasefire theflanked fro them to escape the total annihilation of the army However, the attacks led by Elena Steiner and Eclatia Marienel had ed to kill around 10,000 of their men”

Hearing the report fro in front of hihed

The smile was truly like the devil's sneer

Most people would shake in fear if they saw his facial expression

However, the kneeling old h the h

”I see 10,000 huh Considering Ortoth, such casualties can't be said as fatal”

”Along with Notiz Fort having fallen into the enees of supplies had also been reduced to ashes”

”Well, it was the correct decision for both countries to pull back”

”Yes”

”That Zalda King seems to be a tenacious man, huh?”

”I heard ruuess those ru”

Hearing the old man's word, the man nodded his head

It was an evidence that the oldin front of the man was an able person

Ceasefire when the Ortootiations finished, they let the Ortomea Army retreat intact

If one were to look only at that part, Julianus ht be seen as someone stupid

Since it was obvious to them that Orto had just let them return home

For ordinary people, most will definitely demand some reparations

However, those people wouldn't realize that there were pitfalls here It was a trap

In the first place, otiations were actually less if one were to coth

There was nothing binding if it was a just verbal pro to breach a contract

That was the easiest way to understand the word of 'promise'

And the law only had itsif there was the force to enforce it

The existences who punished those who broke the law People will only follow the law if there was such a force

If it was only the law, but there was no force to enforce it, then the laould be less

And that was the same with a peace treaty

Certainly, those negotiations were a process based on the premise that the two sides will keep their promises

However, what if there was an overwhel power difference between the two ?

A relationshi+p like parent and child, teacher and student, CEO and eand small countries

Each relationshi+ps was different, but the essence does not change at all

In this case, the aggregated strength of Ortodom was like that between a parent and a child

If sootiations, will Zalda have enough power to force Ortomea to abide by it?
