Chapter 10: The Era of the Future

Fury Grand Duke's intentions were unclear.

Earl El had no choice but to prepare for war, halting the sale of iron ingots.

When this situation reached Roman, Morry's caravan was half a month late and Hos's caravan was delayed by a month. How much development time had this cost him?

It was only when Earl El received explicit orders that he was willing to release those iron ingots, which had a clear destination but had not yet departed.

"Earl El asked me to bring you a message."

Hos knew he shouldn't have said it, but he spoke it anyway.

"Given the forthcoming instability, if you still want these high-quality iron ingots, there might be a price increase from the Iron Tree region."

Roman merely gave him a faint look, one devoid of surprise or anger, filled only with calmness and scrutiny.

Hos's heart tightened. He had intended to speak boldly and assertively, but now he dared not to posture as more than he was.
