The one who arrived was wearing a white robe with simple patterns, a neutral middle-aged face with a bit of silver mixed among his blond short hair, a man who could give anyone a good impression at first glance.
“Augustin, you’re finally here” Chris sighed.
This man was one of Chris’ friends within the Church of Divine Grace, as well as the one who issued him this mission, a Divine Grace Cardinal – Augustin.
There were two priests and 3 Knights of Divine Grace armed with swords and full armor. Each of them had gone through rigorous knight training and granted a Grace that allowed them to exert superhuman abilities.
“Church of Divine Grace, so you plan to shelter this criminal who killed Lord Comoros?” Yadley coldly questioned.
“The ‘crime’ was nothing but a one-sided claim by your side, no one really knows what really happened, so that’s not going to convince the people. What do you think, Grosk?” Augustin smiled and answered without worry.
“Indeed, captain Yadley, I also believe the same” a rich-looking middle-aged man stepped out with a bitter smile and some awkwardness: “That would certainly cause us to feel quite insecure”
Grosk, one of the many Interkam Kingdom merchants who frequented Reystromia. Where there were people, there was power, and the merchants were no different. Regarding border trades alone, Grosk was the vague leader or representative of all Interkam merchants.
These border merchants, or legitimate smugglers as one might call them, all had their own backings, among which were the aristocrats of the Interkam Kingdom. After the previous series of political power struggles, the representatives of these merchants had no choice but to support the Church of Divine Grace and put pressure on those in charge of Reya.
“We also believe that to be the case” another voice called out, a group of people wearing uniformed clothing came out from another side. From their distinct facial features, it was easy to tell that they were people from the Royas Kingdom; there was also a merchant-looking man behind them, who was the Royas merchants’ representative.
They joined forces because we revealed quite a bit of our power huh?
Yadley scowled, this was the situation he didn’t want to happen the most. In the vicinity of Reystromia, Negary’s forces were naturally the strongest, but when the representative forces of two countries joined together to go against Reya, it was troublesome since they had the support of two countries.
The most important thing is to hold out until My Lord gets past his dormant period, not to mention what happened just now.
Yadley recalled how he couldn’t help himself saying those words just now and scoffed: “We will naturally investigate the matter regarding Lord Comoros’ death further on our side, but as the prime suspect, Chris’s movements must be restrained until things come to light”
“No problem, then let’s stop fighting for now” Chris lightly nodded. The limits of Negary’s strength was still unknown, although he really wanted to take advantage of the so-called dormant period before it passed, it was hard to guarantee victory with their current forces.
