Chapter 5 - Negotiation and Alliance_2

"Your Highness, you overestimate the appeal of Caucasus. What could possibly drive the mob to risk an assault on Caucasus now? Leon itself is far more affluent than Caucasus. As for your concern about the mob attacking Caucasus for survival, I personally don't think they will in the short term. To be honest, many of the half-beast soldiers in my guard were once miner slaves to the nobles in the Leon Region. They escaped because they couldn't endure the atrocious working and living conditions, and after fleeing to the Volt Mountain Range and settling there, I gave them citizenship once I arrived in Caucasus, and only then did they truly become part of it. I believe they can communicate effectively with their former comrades, causing little negative impact on our Caucasus,"

Komer said frankly in front of Hoffman, openly admitting his act of recruiting fugitive slaves as guards, a blatant violation of Kingdom Law.
