[778] Besieged on All Sides, Asking for the King's Way (Second Update)

Tanwood Country.

"General, Kou Country is now demanding that we return the previously acquired artifact and also demanding compensation."

"They're seeking their death!"

Kunad was immediately furious, wishing he could smash the heads of those from Kou Country right then and there.

The officials from Tanwood Country opposite him all had grim expressions on their faces.

"Now that the King's whereabouts are unknown, isn't Kou Country's action of kicking us while we're down too blatant!"

"But what do we do now? With Kou Country leading, there are quite a few other countries already stirring... If the Empire and Summer Country also start to make moves, then our Tanwood Country will really be at a life-or-death juncture."

"The King can't possibly be dead!" Kunad stated decisively.

As they were speaking, suddenly someone hurried to the door, the bloodstains on his face and body causing everyone present to change their expressions abruptly.
