You Shouldn't Underestimate Them

Just like Iria said, Zaro Aventine was already dealing with internal conflicts, mostly a rebellion stirred up by, according to him, Orius.

What worse was that the ex-officials and the remaining soldiers of Helsia already claimed back two provinces near the capital and each day, those who used to be soldiers under the rule of King Rozalez enter that province, fighting against the soldiers of Jerivia on their way.

"When will back up arrive?" the Jerivian King asked Derin who was standing on the side a few steps away.

"The news will reach Jerivia by now, Your Majesty. That means it will need around another 5 days," Derin replied.

Zaro Aventine clenched his fists. "5 days. That's too much while the former soldiers of Helsia enter those provinces each day! In five days, we won't be able to stop them even with the help of the backup soldiers."
