� The fact that his Elemental has not returned seems to mean he is still alive.

�He will return alive.�

Alberu smiled at Cale�s response before returning to the topic at hand.

� I am currently working with the Breck Kingdom in order to see if some of the Paerun Knights went over to Askosan as well.

Askosan was the closest kingdom to the Breck Kingdom, with the Gorge of Death between them.

�It seems likely that the Paerun Knights went to Askosan as well.�

� Indeed.

The informant�s message indicated that there were tens of knights.

The Paerun Kingdom was the northern kingdom of knights. However, even a kingdom with a lot of knights would not normally send tens of knights to another kingdom.

� Something is weird.

That was why Alberu found it to be odd.

� It is still too early to cross through the ocean. What could they be thinking?

There was a reason that the Roan Kingdom and the Breck Kingdom had prepared for the attack in spring. Although Askosan and Norland were at the bottom tip of the north, they were still further north than the Roan Kingdom in the northeast.

Their shores were still likely to be frozen.

This was especially the case because it was currently early February, one of the coldest times of the year.

�If the knights are moving, the soldiers will soon move as well.�

The Roan Kingdom might have thought that they were just doing some training drills if they did not know about the Northern Alliance�s goal.

� It is too early to cross across the ocean. The ice in a portion of the water will melt by mid-February, but that is a waste. They�ll need to use a lot of manual labor in order to clear it.

So why move now?

Does the Northern Alliance want to start that war that quickly?

Alberu bit down on his lips.

The Northern Alliance�s decision was surprising. Sending tens of knights to both kingdoms was easy for the other kingdoms to notice.

The fact that they still chose to do it so openly meant that there was something they were confident about.

He then thought about the Roan Kingdom�s northeast shores. The construction of the naval base. This information had already spread throughout the continent. They kept it under wraps for as long as possible, however, something like that was difficult to contain indefinitely. JrNovels.com
