Camus turned his body and directed that last sentence to the other nobles

”Important matter?” Rody frowned

Camus calmly looked at Rody and the Governor-General as he coldly said, ”Governor-General, please give the order! Starting from today, the Purple Leaf City will be on alert! The whole of Xier Province will be on alert, and all the defenders ion will also cooperate with the native defenders I had received the latest news that theto move”

They are even for alliances now Do they want to start a rebellion?” The other two Governors-General's expression also changed

Camus looked at the silent Rody and slowly said, ”Rebellion? Ten years ago, they had already rebelled once! That was nothing, but this time, they have blatantly violated the E a Tribal Chief without permission Hmph! It seems that their leader is a very brave and ambitious person!”
