Crown prince Valentino could hear the enemy�s trumpets in the distance.

�The northern lands may be covered in dead mana as well.�

That would be extremely disastrous.

Honestly speaking, Valentino was hoping that the priests would sacrifice themselves just a bit. Duke Huten had said that they would not die. His selfish desire was for them to sacrifice themselves just a bit.

�Is even a tiny path difficult? Since there are so many of you, can�t you just share the pain?�

However, the bishop pretended not to hear him.

He did not want to experience any type of pain. Why would he sacrifice himself when he personally wouldn�t be affected by the enemy going north?

�We can also slowly purify the land if the northern shores become infected as well. Shouldn�t we first prepare for the battle up north as quickly as possible?�

The bishop continued to speak.

�Ah, and even if you decide to give up on Castle Leona and head out, we will need some soldiers in order to complete the purification project. We also need some knights to protect the priests during the purification.�

The bishop was speaking as if Castle Leona was no longer able to be used for battle.

Valentino�s expression visibly became stiffer.

��Is that what you want to say right now?�

�I have no choice. The priests with light-affinity are the only ones who can complete the purification. Shouldn�t you protect us since we are such precious existences?�

The bishop�s gentle smile became etched in Valentino�s eyes.

The bishop was wrong.

There were too many errors in what the bishop was saying.

Although technically everything he said was correct, the crown prince felt as if he was wrong.

However, he could not lash out or punish them right now. There was no way to get rid of the dead mana without them.

Buuuuuuuuuuuu- buuuuuuuuuuu-

He could also continue to hear the enemy�s trumpet. The laughter of the Bears from earlier rang inside his head once again like a hallucination.

Escape, no, the enemy was moving to destroy somewhere else. Could he do nothing but watch them leave?

Crown prince Valentino and the leaders of the Caro Kingdom started to frown. They were also starting to get angry.

It was at that moment. JrNovels.com
