Cale had to meet Chief Harol more than anything right now.

Cale followed Toonka out and looked around the Whipper Kingdom�s central palace.

�It looks more extravagant than Roan Kingdom�s palace.�

Unlike the sparkling exterior, the interior had a completely different feeling.

�It�s pretty empty.�

There weren�t many people around. Furthermore, those who came and went did not have happy expressions on their faces.

Cale, who was currently disguised as a priest, looked around the royal palace which was the center of the Whipper Kingdom and noticed the surrounding atmosphere.

�There�s a sense of defeat all around even before the fight has started.�

Why was it like this?

Although Cale couldn�t tell what kind of atmosphere surrounded the soldiers and warriors because they weren�t in the central palace, he noticed that the government officials, knights, and guards all gave off an air of defeat from their expressions.

� Human, it feels like we have already lost! Why is everyone�s faces like that?

�That�s what I�m saying.�

Cale felt that something was off. He glanced at Choi Han who was beside him. Choi Han, whose appearance was hidden with a robe, was also looking around at his surroundings.

Seeing this kind of atmosphere is probably a first for him.

There was a mood that made everything seem like it was limp and sinking.

Cale recalled that mood and asked Toonka, who was in front of him, a question.

�How many people know about that correspondence?�

�About 2 or 3 people other than our side.�

Our side.

Those words referred to the natives who were the initial members of the non-mage faction with Toonka and Harol, which were namely his close subordinates.

�Ha!�

Cale finally realized what was going on.

�Those people passing us by with an air of helplessness aren�t the people on Toonka�s side.� JrNovels.com
