Chapter 12: Balmore_2

The abnormal prosperity of Bruce Fortress surprised both Zip and Lafayette, who followed Komer. Such a fortress-like place, surrounded only by forest without any production, was home to as many as 20,000 people. This situation was extremely rare across the entire Blue Continent. However, Komer soon explained the reasons behind this to them. The fortress commander Balmore came out to greet them with a sincere smile, like that of an old friend who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although Komer knew this man was quite complicated, he was still pleased with the enthusiasm he showed.
