Chapter 679 - Swords Clash 3 (2/2)

“Huh! I can’t believe it!”

“Did Prime Minister know that Your Majesty returned from his last expedition to the Southern Continent and went right away to defeat the remnants of the Veritas Magic Tower who were hidden in the Hells Island? At that time, some warlocks were said to have understood the situation in advance and moved over to Libiya Kingdom.”

In response to Hudson’s words, Hans was shocked.

“How could His Majesty not even speak to his own retainer about doing that?”

After returning back from the Southern Continent, it felt strange that Luke was taking a defensive position against the Libiya Kingdom.

But for him to have such clear sight and not say anything!

“Because he thought that the information would leak out. Even at that Paradise Salon, there were quite a lot of political figures who were always on our side.”

“Ugh, all this…”

Hans was unable to take the frown off his face and asked Hudson.

“Fine, that could be right… what is important right now is to stop their men. Is there any way to respond to that? Any way to stop them from infiltrating our cities with their warlocks?”

“About that, His Majesty has already told us to seek advice from the Black Tower.”

“Black Tower?”

Hans didn’t like the sound of it.

They wanted to use the warlocks to counter the enemy’s warlocks, but Hans didn’t want to owe anything to the warlocks or give any merit to them.

Honestly, Rakan’s memoir revealed the truth about the Devil King Saymon.

However, that didn’t completely erase the prejudice which had accumulated over the warlocks for all the years.

There were instances where southern ports were all hit because of the very warlocks too.

However, Hans couldn’t express his displeasure when his nation was in danger of extinction.

“If they come up with a good plan, there is no reason to reject them. But if they betray us in any…”

“That won’t happen. Many of the warlocks currently recruited into the Black Tower were those who succeeded in the legacy of Saymon. They have grinded their teeth sharp to bite off Veritas and the Baroque Empire.”

It was the Veritas Magic Tower and the Baroque Imperial who defeated Saymon and called him evil.

The warlocks could never hold themselves back when it came to those two.

“Well, that is a good thing then.”

At Hudson’s words, Prime Minister Hans decided to trust the Black Tower warlocks.
