Stepping into the Enemy's Trap

Celeste Village was surrounded by hundreds of trained soldiers, and they were spread all over the village. Their first victory against the notoriously undefeatable Celeste Village brought them fresh air. Thanks to that victory, the four kingdoms were finally convinced that the mana-sucking device created by Weiss had indeed worked.

Perhaps because the people thought that there was no one else who could threaten them, everyone relaxed in that place. Some of them did not hesitate to leave their positions to watch how the Lucano Kingdom Army tried to extract information from Neil. They wanted to see how the great wizard of Celeste Village was forced to kneel on the ground and was continuously whipped every time he refused to answer the questions of the person in charge of interrogating him.
