Chapter 87: Sinister Plan (2)

|3rd POV|

The Lord of Barukan City smiles at the soldiers getting inside his city. He first thought the king would leave him and his family to defend against the incoming army with only his own, but his fear was proven false.

Not only did the king ask the other nobles to send their soldiers to his territory, but he also sent a supply to let them defend against the army as long as possible.

Even the king knows they cannot win against the North without their full army. However, the king knew that he needed to hold them as long as possible, and that is why he sent those soldiers and supplies.

Defend the North so the South settle their fight, then help them. With the new reinforcement and supply from the capital city, the Lord of the Barukan City felt like they could hold against the incoming enemy from the North for years. He thinks the king is kind and thoughtful, saving his family and himself.
