Chapter 61 (1/2)

When he left the Wolves Fang Division's ca farewell to Commander Gordon, he rode his horse slowly on the main street Gordon, on the other hand, took his men back to the Imperial Palace

As he wore the uniform of a noble warrior and had the handsome face of the Tulip Family, Rody attracted a lot of attention on the streets Even the patrol soldiers who passed by saluted him

The streets of the Ier busy like before Even the pubs had fewer people Rody suddenly felt tired and bored so, he decided to enter a nearby pub by the roadside

Tomorrow, he would be on the battlefield After all, he was just a boy that had recently coe He also knew that it was a trap prepared by His Majesty He obviously knew about the situation in the Northwest and he also knew about the foreigner, Reuenthal's craftiness, and cruelty However, Rody could not avoid this confrontation and could only be pushed forward by fate

The business in the pub was not good Nevertheless, as it was located in the Imperial Capital which was also the continent's uests ca to one another Rody listened carefully and found that they were talking about the war in the Northwest

It was evident yesterday in the audience hall, His Majesty the Emperor allowed the officer who came from the Northwest to publicly speak about their military defeat The bad news had then spread from the palace to the public like wildfire

Of course, it was quite evident that the things they were discussing were mostly rumors Much of their 'most reliable news' came from someone's relative who eavesdropped on a noble Often, when someone from a table mentioned the phrase 'most reliable news', he or she would immediately attract the attention of others nearby The infornition

There were some people who claimed that the news of the Empire's defeat was false as the Empire had 200,000 elite troops stationed in the Northwest It was iners There were also those who claimed that the 200,000 troops in the Northere completely annihilated The heads of the dead soldiers were collected by Devil Reuenthal and were piled up to form a tower about 10 meters tall The person who said this claimed that his relative from the Northwest personally witnessed it There were even people exaggerating and saying that in a few days, the foreigners would arrive at the Imperial Capital

Rody did not knohether to laugh or cry when he heard that The public was easily deceived Whether the neas true or false, the recession of the s of the public were definitely true

The shrines in the Imperial Capital also became more crowded It appeared that even those who did not have strong faith suddenly becahty God to bless the Radiant Eners and defend the people of God The huge donation box in the religious temple was quickly filled with money by those anted to express their piousness to God

Rody felt somewhat troubled when he saw the confused civilians If it were hio, he would join them and undoubtedly feel confused as well as fearful However, at that moment, he was more aware of the situation than those civilians At the sareater pressure Which of the tould be a better feeling in the end?

Rody drank a mouthful of wine The low quality and bitter wine froh He had never entered such a place before as he used to be a poor boy who did not have money for pubs

How could a person drink this? I really don't understand why so many people like to drink beer! This drink is spicy and bitter What is so delicious about it? Rody was still just a young person at heart He left a gold coin on the table and walked out of the pub He was completely unaware of the wary looks he received frouests behind him

”That guy seems to be a nobleman… He also seems like a warrior”

”H He looks like an officer! Did you not see that he earing the badge of the Central Cavalry?”

”Ah, the sorrow of the E to defend their homeland, these soldiers actually came out to drink”

Rody felt bitter and irritated when he heard those words
