Chapter 181 (1/2)

Today I took Eric to the ain, and I waited outside the door for him as I read Ratoka's report on the prisoners

Just like Vanita told me, the slave children seemed to be suspicious of each other There were so ratted on by a spy, causing their friends and family to be executed, that they even coeon, their ile

Given this situation, I suppose it's highly likely there are child soldiers a us My memories of Kamil further increased my suspicions It's definitely possible that there are children just like hi so many adults

”-Kaldia”

Eric came out of the makeshi+ft hospital and called out to me, so I put the report down

”Baron Dovadain For being able to coain today, I thank you on behalf of my adopted father”

”-Please consider it again Without Baron Dovadain's permission, the Arxian royal army won't be able to efficiently deal with the enemy's slave armies If the enemy uses their slaves as meat shi+elds to attack us, then our army will……”

”Stop repeating yourself, it's annoying My answer is the same, we should retreat Our frontlines should be pulled back to Fort Jugfena, no matter who our enemies are, we shouldn't invade their territory, don't you think?”

In the past few days, Eric and I have been repeating the saain -This, is the new ”proble to

Eric was angrilyIt's so tantruhteousness

His face was changing color with how furious he was for the sake of others, and the slight self-loathing and self-denial that I could sense in him before was completely absent
