"Well, I won't say much more."
Anse spread his hands, his expression fearless, but when he remembered the scene when they had encountered the rangers, he frowned—
"Renata, you were right about something being off with those soldiers. I already lost the comparison when I first compared them to the Royal Court's elite."
Renata nodded, feeling that her brother wasn't beyond hope yet.
Soldiers of such strength were significant even in the Royal Court, and being surrounded by a group of them was enough for an average Extraordinary Rank to understand what pain was.
Could these soldiers appearing in a borderland, so insufficient in resources and power, be the secret weapon newly developed by the Lancaster Duchy?
Anse pondered.
As the most unique among the Nine Dukes, the Lancaster Duchy worked more as a reserve armory for the Yibel Federation rather than as a duchy.
