Public opinion had only been circulating in Saint Blue for a few days when word spread within the Sacred Blue Realm: the Red Maple Kingdom had increased its military presence on the border.
Everywhere that bordered Saint Blue, the Red Maple Kingdom had bolstered its troops.
What was their intention?
To annex Saint Blue?
When this news spread within the Sacred Blue Realm, the citizens of Saint Blue were enraged—surely the Red Maple Kingdom was seizing the opportunity to annex their Saint Blue!
In an instant, young people of conscription age in Saint Blue clamored to enlist. They wanted to join the army, to defend their homeland and protect Lord Viscount!
The Holy Blue Official had said that those subjugated by the Viscount, both humans and Giant Dragons, are to give their loyalty to Saint Blue first and foremost.
Just like Lord Creya, when she was defeated by Lord Lance, he also required her to prioritize loyalty to Saint Blue without needing to swear allegiance to him.
