“The Grand Duke Forrest?”

“No way… really?”

“I think, based on impressions, that’s hier and nothing had gotten through to them, but now, they were unsettled In fact, they had been determined not to stop even if Duke Palan’s army blocked their way Even if they were all killed due to their reckless challenge, they had been determined to martyr themselves so that their deaths would beco republicanism However, when Milton had appeared in front of them, they were shocked back to their senses Milton Forrest had the gravitas to h it only lasted for a short leader of the eneht in front of us”
