# Chapter 86: I Predicted Your Prediction
Steel Fortress, Front District. A massive formation of troops stood in orderly ranks here. Any suspicious individuals couldn't approach within half a kilometer.
Before a pointed steel building, under the guidance of Colonel Rez, Su Xiao walked inside.
The overall color scheme inside the steel building was gray-black, with only the activated teleportation platform at the center emitting a faint blue glow.
Su Xiao stepped forward and stood on the teleportation array without any hesitation. Currently, the Sun Fortress and the Vassal faction had fully entered a "honeymoon period."
His advantage was that how long this "honeymoon period" would last was up to him to decide, not the Vassal side. They were still hoping to use the Sun faction as a pawn.
Without thinking, Su Xiao knew the Vassal faction's subsequent strategy. After the "Border Treaty" was signed, the Vassal faction would loudly proclaim that pig-headed men and wild boar warriors were not the same species, and tell the world that the Sun faction was their ally.
Once this news was announced, his own wild boar warriors would inevitably waver in their resolve, after all, they had evolved from pig-headed men.
This strategy, while shaking our military's morale, also had a heavy follow-up move. The Vassal side would definitely sow discord between our side and the Beast clan, telling the Beast clan that the Sun Fortress would eventually invade them. Rather than passively waiting to be attacked, it was better to strike first, and they were willing to sell weapons to the Beast clan at low prices.
The Beast clan had long been wary of the Sun Fortress. Previously, for development, our side had hunted many Aberrant Beasts. Coupled with the Vassal's instigation, there was an over 80% chance that the Beast clan would choose to take the initiative and attack the Sun Fortress.
This was understandable. The Sun Fortress had signed the "Border Treaty" with the Vassal faction, achieving peace with them. With limited resources, the only way for the Sun Fortress to continue developing was to encroach on Beast clan territory.
At that point, it would be a chaotic battle between the Sun Fortress and the Beast clan, with the Vassal watching from the sidelines. Even better, both the Sun Fortress and the Beast clan were enemies of the Vassal. Seeing two groups of enemies fight each other, how happy would the Vassal be? It was easy to imagine.
Don't think that was the end. With the Sun Fortress's combat power, the Beast clan would certainly be no match. The Vassal's weapons would inevitably become a necessity for the Beast clan in the war.
The Vassal said they were selling cheap, and at first, they would indeed do so. But as the war situation developed, the price of these weapons would increase a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold. The Beast clan would have no choice but to grit their teeth and endure. Without these weapons, they couldn't even resist the Sun Fortress.
The emergence of the "Border Treaty" helped the Vassal solve the threat of the Sun Fortress, resolved the Beast clan's long-standing attacks, and finally, by selling weapons, they could make a huge profit. Three birds with one stone.
The person who drafted the "Border Treaty" was simply a genius. The only drawback was that the binding force of the contract wasn't strong. Moreover, if this thing had strong binding power, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to break the contract at any time, and he wouldn't have signed it either. He would have continued fighting the Vassal faction.
As Su Xiao pondered, the teleportation device beneath his feet glowed faintly, and spatial fluctuations enveloped him.
When the surrounding light faded, Su Xiao was standing in a hall of over a thousand square meters. There were many people inside. The first thing that caught Su Xiao's attention was not a black-stockinged mature lady with a perky chest and round butt, but three people with distinctly different auras.
Among these three, one was the tallest, about 2 meters in height. His frame was large, and although his height reached 2 meters, there was no sense of disproportion. Instead, he gave people a spiritual sense of oppression. This was Alliance Marshal He Kangdiwei.
Beside He Kangdiwei stood a fat judge wearing a woolen judicial wig, with a body shape like a pear. This was Chief Justice Fowo. Beside him stood a slightly thin, handsome man, the Watchtower Leader Feidinang.
Since the two sides had been mortal enemies 12 hours ago, there wasn't much formality. They headed straight for the Council Hall.
Half an hour later, around the metal round table in the Council Hall, Su Xiao sat opposite the main seat. Between his index and middle fingers, he held the contract pen. On the table in front of him lay the second copy of the "Border Treaty."
Besides the three Alliance Marshals, ten councilors from the Aurora Council were present, all sitting upright with a composed demeanor, as if they had forgotten that two days ago, they had strongly requested to live in the adjacent room of the Council Hall to avoid assassination by the Sun faction. As one councilor put it: "I'm only 97 years old, still young, haven't lived enough yet."
"Bai Ye, didn't you look over this treaty yesterday? You don't need to look at it for so long now. Time is precious, everyone is busy."
Chief Justice Fowo spoke. He was hot-tempered and hadn't forgotten that the night before last, he had almost been killed by Di Zong.
Fowo didn't believe that Di Zong, as the clan leader of the assassin clan, would come to him to go crazy for no reason. Without thinking, he knew this must have been hired by Su Xiao.
The situation had developed to this point. Revenge was impossible, so he would just follow his mood.
"I did look over this treaty yesterday."
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Fowo said, "Then why not sign it?"
"Not in a good mood. Don't want to sign."
"Ah?"
Fowo was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "You might not believe it, but An Yun is not in our hands."
"I believe you."
"Hmm?"
Chief Justice Fowo laughed even more heartily. It wasn't because Su Xiao believed him, but because he found the current situation interesting.
"From what I understand, An Yun was stolen."
"That's right, it was indeed lost. Don't tell me you know who stole it?"
Fowo still looked like he was joking.
"Golden Count, Sacred Poem, Orlando. Those three stole it."
"Is that true?"
The smile on Fowo's face completely disappeared. Beside him, Watchtower Leader Feidinang showed a serious expression. Alliance Marshal He Kangdiwei, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them.
"I guarantee it as the Sun Lord."
As Su Xiao spoke, he recalled who first called him the Sun Lord. This title came out of nowhere, but it was quite useful as a guarantee.
"My people will handle this matter."
He Kangdiwei stated. One of his trusted subordinates leaned in to listen. After hearing He Kangdiwei's secret order, he nodded repeatedly. A moment later, just as he was about to leave, Su Xiao spoke up:
"Wait."
He Kangdiwei's trusted subordinate stopped. Su Xiao continued:
"Those three are very strong. The assassin I sent to kill Toyin found them last night. After that, my assassin lost all trace."
Su Xiao said this to make He Kangdiwei take the Golden Count trio seriously, thus sending more troops.
Su Xiao chose to fabricate an assassin who had successfully killed Toyin and reveal that this assassin died after confronting the Golden Count trio. Nothing was more convincing than this to let He Kangdiwei know how powerful the Golden Count trio were.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, He Kangdiwei frowned for a moment. Just as he was about to add a few words to his trusted subordinate, Su Xiao spoke again:
"They also have several hundred accomplices. If I'm not mistaken, these several hundred accomplices are all now inside 'Kevab Ring City.'"
"Several hundred accomplices?" Chief Justice Fowo found it somewhat ridiculous. He joked, "Bai Ye, do you think the Military Police of 'Kevab Ring City' eats shit? They would let several hundred people of unknown origin sneak into the ring city?"
Just as Chief Justice Fowo finished speaking, Su Xiao raised his hand. The Steel Fang behind him placed a large stack of documents in his hand.
Slap~
The large stack of documents was thrown onto the table, spreading out like playing cards. Seeing this, Fowo signaled to a Military Police Captain standing nearby.
The Military Police Captain stepped forward, using the terminal in his hand as a database to scan and compare each document on the table one by one. These were the files of several hundred people.
How did Su Xiao obtain the files of these people? Very simple. During the previous battle, the contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise had all shown their faces. Baha, flying in the sky, had captured many faces through a battle recording device.
During the capture, Hao Mei had participated in several contractor gatherings. The monitoring device on her had obtained facial information of many Apocalypse Paradise contractors.
Doing this wasn't because Su Xiao had foresight. He had originally planned that if he could defeat the Vassal faction, and then the Apocalypse Paradise contractors scattered and fled across the continent, he would use this facial information to track them down, preventing one of them from escaping with An Yun.
Now, this intelligence played an unexpected role.
After a comparison, the Military Police Captain confirmed that the information on nearly 200 people was accurate.
"Are these people related to the war on the front lines?"
Chief Justice Fowo spoke. He seemed irritable and hot-tempered, but he was the first to think of the key point. It wasn't the main issue that these people were all in "Kevab Ring City." But if all these people were related to the war on the front lines, then the problem was huge.
"This, this..."
The Military Police Captain began to stammer. Seeing this, Chief Justice Fowo angrily said, "Spit it out if you have something to say!"
The Military Police Captain was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud and said with a trembling voice, "My... my lord, these people have all recently participated in the war on the front lines in various capacities."
Hearing this, Chief Justice Fowo's expression wasn't good. These several hundred people were all in "Kevab Ring City" and had participated in the war on the front lines. That wasn't a problem in itself. The problem was that these people were forming private factions. No one could determine whether these people were spies from the Human race.
Suddenly, Chief Justice Fowo thought of another possibility. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Bai Ye, the current situation is clear to both of us. Our two sides can no longer be hostile. It's normal for us to be in cahoots."
Chief Justice Fowo paused here and continued, "Let's be honest with each other. The night before last, did you send people to assassinate the four of us?"
"The night before last, I sent someone to assassinate Alliance Chief Toyin."
Su Xiao understood what Chief Justice Fowo meant. The other party had misunderstood, likely mistaking those contractors for spies from the Human race.
"Do you think we'll believe that?"
Watchtower Leader Feidinang's attitude was noncommittal.
"Actually, I'm more puzzled than you. Which side sent people to assassinate the three of you, and how was my plan to assassinate Alliance Chief Toyin leaked?"
As soon as Su Xiao said this, Chief Justice Fowo stood up with a whoosh. He actually stirred up wind.
Bang!
Chief Justice Fowo slammed the table and said urgently, "There's no mistake. These people must be spies from the Human race. The assassination of the three of us the night before last was their plan, and they took the opportunity to frame Bai Ye."
Chief Justice Fowo's tone was decisive. Beside him, Feidinang glanced at him, a look that seemed like one of caring for the intellectually disabled.
Noticing Feidinang's gaze, Chief Justice Fowo sneered and said loudly, "First, let's talk about me. I was assassinated by Di Zong, the clan leader of the Xin clan. At first, I thought Bai Ye hired Di Zong. But thinking about it now, it doesn't seem that way. Everyone, don't forget, the Xin clan is Human. Without a backer behind them, even if Di Zong is powerful, he wouldn't come to assassinate me. My subsequent retaliation would put the Xin clan in a very awkward position.
Just yesterday, the entire Xin clan moved to the Human capital. Is this a coincidence?"
Chief Justice Fowo's words almost made Baha, beside Su Xiao, laugh out loud. The Xin clan moved indeed to avoid the Vassal's retaliation. Moving to the Human capital was because Su Xiao's side had owed the Human high-level officials a favor.
"And Feidinang, have you investigated who killed your entire family?"
"Found some clues."
"Was it from the Human side?"
"Yes."
"That's right!"
Chief Justice Fowo wanted to slam the table again, but because he had used too much force earlier, his palm was still numb. He slapped his own belly instead.
"The people who assassinated you and me were all from the Human side. Kangdiwei was poisoned. I estimate that was also done by the Human side. There's no mistake. These several hundred people, and those counts, sacred poems, Orlando, are all spies from that side. They must be eliminated."
Chief Justice Fowo made the final decision, speaking with conviction.
Su Xiao looked at Chief Justice Fowo. 'Good teammate' Alliance Chief Toyin was dead, but a second 'good teammate' had appeared.
According to Fowo's meaning, the Golden Count and others would bear the following charges: 1. Espionage, 2. Theft of An Yun, 3. Disrupting the war situation... 148. Attempted murder of Quartermaster Nicholas Kaiser and theft of the supply depot.
In short, all the troubles that had occurred in "Kevab Ring City" during this period were pinned on the Golden Count and others.
In the eyes of the Vassal faction's high-level officials, this was the time to reach a friendly alliance with the Sun faction. How could the unpleasant things that happened before be attributed to the Sun faction? They were allies. Allies don't do bad things.
On the other hand, the Golden Count and others were 'spies.' They could do any bad thing. Even the old lady's lost worn-out underpants recently might have been stolen by them.
Chief Justice Fowo seemed to be possessed by 'big wisdom,' spouting a bunch of nonsense reasoning and analysis. But in reality, this guy knew very well in his heart that someone needed to take the blame for the unpleasantness that had happened before. Those suspicious guys were the best scapegoats.
Moreover, Chief Justice Fowo had lived for over 60 years and had never seen anyone willing to actively approach a war zone.
After Su Xiao revealed that the Golden Count and others were very strong, and Chief Justice Fowo analyzed that those people were all spies, Alliance Marshal He Kangdiwei rearranged the arrest and siege plan.
But after learning that these people might be carrying powerful explosives, He Kangdiwei's level of attention increased again.
"Bai Ye, are you in a much better mood now?"
Chief Justice Fowo signaled Su Xiao to sign the "Border Treaty."
"I have a hobby. I love collecting Soul Stones."
Su Xiao took out a Soul Crystal Core from his storage space. He wouldn't be a Law-Destroying Shadow of the Reincarnation Paradise if he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity to extort something.
"Everyone has hobbies. These are small problems. How many do you want to collect?"
Chief Justice Fowo glanced at the Soul Crystal Core in Su Xiao's hand. With Fowo's status, he knew the value of this scarce resource.
"I plan to collect 1000."
"Cough, cough~"
Fowo put down his teacup, picked up a napkin, and wiped the tea from his hands.
"There are no 1000. 10 is possible."
"Deal."
"Cough! Cough! Hmm?"
Fowo threw down the napkin in his hand and pretended nothing had happened. After a while, his subordinate brought a brocade box that seemed both metallic and wooden. When opened, 10 Soul Crystal Cores were revealed.
Seeing this, Su Xiao signed "Sun Lord Kukulin Bai Ye" on the treaty. The next second, a mark appeared on the back of Su Xiao's hand, then faded after a moment.
Both sides had signed the "Border Treaty." According to procedure, they moved to the banquet hall and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. After the meal, Su Xiao, sitting by the dining table, lit a cigarette.
The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. Feeling that the time was about right, Su Xiao asked, "Fowo, when will the arena in the ring city reopen?"
"This... hard to say. With your rise this time, quite a few ambitious guys are thinking of first stealing technology from you, then buying pig-headed men to cultivate. But speaking of which, why are you interested in the ring city's arena?"
"I used to be in this business."
Su Xiao's external identity was that he had been in the pig-headed man business, cultivating fighters from pig-headed men. But because he 'cultivated them too well,' he ended up with the technology to transform pig-headed men into wild boar warriors.
"The ring city arena won't reopen for several months. But the pig-headed man business can recover quickly."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. It was as he had predicted. The Vassal faction would guard against him. That didn't matter. He had only brought it up casually to pave the way for later.
Whether the ring city arena reopened or not wasn't important to Su Xiao. What he wanted was at least one, ideally ten, pig-headed man fighters who had mastered 'wild' technique abilities of the warhammer type.
"I need a batch of heavy cannon-level weapons recently."
Su Xiao's words were shocking, causing the atmosphere in the banquet hall to suddenly drop to freezing point.
"Our Vassal's heavy cannon-level weapons cannot be shared with others, including allies."
Watchtower Leader Feidinang immediately refused. Fowo, who had been playing the good guy, quickly stepped in to mediate.
"If you won't provide heavy cannon-level weapons, then I'll have to move south. Otherwise, conflict with the Beast clan is inevitable sooner or later."
Su Xiao's meaning was simple and direct. Since the Vassal wanted to use his side to block the Beast clan, he might as well extort heavy cannon-level weapons now.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, He Kangdiwei and the other two remained silent. Everyone present knew in their hearts what the "Border Treaty" was all about. According to the Vassal faction's plan, conflict between the Sun Fortress and the Beast clan was inevitable. Even if there was no conflict, the Vassal would instigate one.
By one's bedside, how could one allow others to snore? But if the two people beside the bed were fighting, the Vassal wouldn't care about such things. They would continue to instigate and profit from the war.
The atmosphere was deadlocked. The Vassal faction was unwilling to provide heavy cannon-level weapons. Su Xiao's meaning was that if they didn't provide heavy cannon-level weapons, he would rather take a big detour to move the base camp than fight to the death with the Beast clan.
"Everyone, everyone. Our two sides have just reached a peace agreement. This atmosphere..."
The slave trader Azba, who had been silent, took the opportunity to speak. When all eyes were on him, he said:
"The Vassal faction has no precedent for transferring heavy cannon-level weapons. Lord Bai Ye, this really isn't targeting us."
"This friend is right. You're called Azba?"
"Yes, Lord Fowo."
Azba looked flattering. He cleared his throat and said:
"Let me be straightforward. If there's anything wrong, please forgive me, Honorable Lords. In my opinion, war between our Sun Fortress and the Beast clan is already inevitable. This is a struggle for resources. There's no possibility of reconciliation. Lord Bai Ye needs heavy cannon-level weapons precisely because he's considering going to war with the Beast clan."
Hearing Azba's words, the expressions of several Vassal high-level officials softened a lot.
"Even if we can't get heavy cannon-level weapons, Honorable Lords from the Vassal should at least provide some pre-war support, right? Just now, when Lord Bai Ye was chatting, he mentioned the ring city arena. This reminded me of one thing. Now, the pig-headed man fighters in the ring city arena are all idle. With a little training, they would make a very good vanguard force.
How about this? Let the ring city arena be the first batch of war support from the Vassal to our side. After we go to war with the Beast clan, you can provide support gradually. Everyone, don't rush to refuse. In the future, we'll be helping you block the beast tides."
Azba's expression turned cold at the end. He threw his teacup onto the dining table with a clatter, indicating that although he respectfully addressed the Vassal high-level officials as lords, he represented the Sun Fortress and was not afraid of these people.
Negotiation was like this. If you lose your momentum, you can only be manipulated by your opponent.
"Well..."
Fowo looked at He Kangdiwei with a questioning gaze.
"The ring city arena is protected by the Trade Law. Even we cannot give away the ring city arena without the owner's consent."
He Kangdiwei's attitude surprised Fowo and Feidinang slightly. In their view, using the ring city arena as a deposit was a very good choice.
He Kangdiwei's polite refusal was naturally based on consideration. He always felt that Su Xiao's visit to "Kevab Ring City" must have some purpose.
"Are you sleepwalking?"
Baha knocked Azba away with one wing and continued, "I told you to negotiate heavy cannon-level weapons, and you arrange the ring city arena? Have you gone crazy from being a slave trader? What, after getting the ring city arena, you'll manage it? Oh, right, on our side, only you are good at the pig-headed man business. You're the only one who can manage it. You've calculated well."
Baha's eagle claw crushed the top of the chair back. Its eagle eyes became sharp. Azba, who had been knocked to the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth, twitched and seemed about to go into shock.
The backup plan was activated. Baha's wing strike made Azba ecstatic inside. Afterward, a bottle of secret medicine that could strengthen the body and prolong life would be in hand.
"Damn it, I've been looking at you wrong for a long time..."
Baha showed killing intent. Seeing this, Chief Justice Fowo's heart skipped a beat. He knew this couldn't continue. It was about to develop into a personal vendetta. This was their territory. They couldn't just watch. In the end, it would be their face that was slapped.
The lunch ended on an unpleasant note, but Su Xiao had achieved his goal. He didn't get the ring city arena, but all the pig-headed man fighters in the ring city arena now belonged to him.
Why did He Kangdiwei and the others finally agree? Because Su Xiao initially only asked for heavy cannon-level weapons. After the Vassal refused, Azba brought up the ring city arena, but the Vassal still wouldn't give it.
After two consecutive refusals, He Kangdiwei and the others knew they couldn't refuse a third time. Su Xiao had many ways to make them uncomfortable.
When Su Xiao proposed asking for 200,000 pig-headed men, He Kangdiwei and the others suddenly understood. So this was the real target. Chief Justice Fowo immediately changed the subject, offering the pig-headed man fighters in the ring city arena as a gift to Su Xiao.
Never let the enemy know what you want. That was Su Xiao's strategy. He initially brought up the ring city arena on purpose, making He Kangdiwei and the others suspicious. Then he threw out the excessive request for 200,000 pig-headed men. Upon hearing that, they immediately became suspicious, thinking the ring city arena was a smoke screen thrown by Su Xiao.
Su Xiao, with Bubu Wang, Baha, and Steel Fang, walked out of the banquet hall. Steel Fang was carrying the unconscious Azba on his back.
As soon as Su Xiao left, the two ornate doors slammed shut. Beside the dining table, Alliance Marshal He Kangdiwei was still sitting in the main seat, with Fowo and Feidinang on his left and right.
"Gentlemen, come."
Fowo stood up and raised a goblet containing a small amount of red wine. Seeing this, Feidinang stood up and also raised his glass.
He Kangdiwei didn't stand up. From now on, he would be the supreme leader of the Vassal, with Fowo and Feidinang as his right and left hands.
"Kukulin Bai Ye is just a demon who climbed up by taking advantage of the situation. He's terrifying, no doubt. But how can he compete with us? How can he compete with our prosperous 260-year-old Vassal? For the alliance, cheers!"
As Fowo spoke, his face showed undisguised delight.
He Kangdiwei, sitting steadily, raised his glass. Fowo and Feidinang, standing beside him, both leaned forward to clink glasses with He Kangdiwei, celebrating this victory won through strategy, resources, and bloodless means.
And indeed it was. After He Kangdiwei took power, the Vassal faction indeed suffered no more soldier casualties.
But a thousand-mile dike can collapse from an ant hole. Today, He Kangdiwei and the other two made a very small mistake. This mistake was enough to make them die without a burial place.
...
Kevab Ring City, Outer District, Arena.
Due to the arena's closure and the rise of the Sun Fortress, the pig-headed man fighters, as combatants, were immediately put in shackles and imprisoned in the confinement room on the second underground floor of the arena.
Su Xiao descended the stairs to the second underground floor. The second underground floor wasn't wide. It was long and narrow overall. Between the walls on both sides was a three-meter-wide corridor. Inside the walls on both sides were wall-mounted cages.
Su Xiao had experienced this kind of cage when he first entered this world. With his build, sitting inside was fine. But with the pig-headed men's average height of 2 to 2.4 meters, they could only bow their heads and squeeze in.
Su Xiao walked down the corridor. A foul stench spread into his nostrils. In the wall-mounted cages on both sides were pig-headed man fighters.
Compared to normal pig-headed men, these pig-headed man fighters had more independent thought and broader experience.
After walking several dozen meters, Su Xiao stopped in front of a wall-mounted cage. Inside the cage, a pig-headed man with a scarred face opened his eyes.
This trip to "Kevab Ring City" didn't disappoint Su Xiao. He had finally found a pig-headed man fighter who had mastered 'wild' technique abilities of the warhammer type.
"State your name."
Su Xiao spoke. The pig-headed man fighter in the wall-mounted cage shook his head.
Seeing this, Steel Fang behind him asked, "You don't want to say?"
"I... don't have... a name."
The pig-headed man fighter's voice was somewhat hoarse. His throat had been injured.
"From now on, you'll be called Oinke."
Leaving these words, Su Xiao turned and walked out. The legendary fighter Oinke had once resisted the Vassal. Although he died, he left behind something: his spirit of daring to resist, preferring death to being a beast of freedom.
And this pig-headed man fighter, could he live up to the name Oinke? The answer was yes. He was the spark of a prairie fire. Or rather, even if he himself wasn't qualified, the role he played was worthy of the name Oinke.
With a clang, the large iron door to the second underground floor closed.
After Su Xiao left the ring city arena, a Military Police blocked his way, whispered something, and then hurried away.
Su Xiao hadn't expected Alliance Marshal He Kangdiwei and the others to move so quickly. Earlier, he had mentioned that the Golden Count and others were spies and had stolen An Yun. Not long after, He Kangdiwei's side was about to take action.
Following the main street, Su Xiao walked for less than ten minutes and arrived at a pedestrian street. In a high-end custom clothing store on the pedestrian street, the Golden Count, Sacred Poem, and Orlando happened to push the door open and walk out.
The bell on the door jingled. Each of the three was carrying a large box. It was unknown what was inside. Among the three, the Golden Count immediately noticed Su Xiao standing at the intersection in the center, Bubu Wang crouching beside his leg, and Baha perched on his shoulder.
Sacred Poem and Orlando also noticed Su Xiao. The three exchanged glances and were about to approach. Just as they were about to step forward, they found that everyone on the street had stopped. These were all elite soldiers of the Vassal faction.
And that wasn't the worst part. Nearly 40,000 Military Police were surrounding them from all directions.
"Do you think these soldiers and Military Police are here for him?"
Orlando took off his coat, revealing his muscular upper body, ready to fight. Actually, he already had a premonition.
"They... seem more like they're here for us."
After the Golden Count said this, for some reason, he suddenly felt relieved. After experiencing this world's struggle war, no matter what happened in the future, he wouldn't feel surprised. He had already adapted.
