Chapter 43 Paolo Fiery End

After finishing his meal, Michael stood to enjoy a cup of tea when a soldier came rushing toward him, looking panicked.

"Sir! A situation, sir!"

The soldier was unfamiliar to Michael.

"I—I went to fetch water and saw something strange in the forest. A group of fanatics performing a ritual!"

"Are you certain?" Michael asked, his tone sharp.

"Yes, sir! They were definitely fanatics. Their faces were painted red, and they were dancing. I saw it clearly!"

Michael scrutinized the soldier. He was a bald man with a well-fed appearance, his head flushed red with excitement, his lips glistening with saliva as he spoke.

"Hmm. I see. Were there many of them?"

"No, sir. Just a few. If you send the knights, they'll be easy to handle!"

Michael's interest faded. So, there really were forces foolish enough to use such incompetent spies.
