��Hey, talk quietly.�

�Why should I be quiet? There�s no need. The only thing we trust are the things we accomplish with our own two hands.�

Choi Han who had been stealthily walking around the corridor stopped walking after hearing those voices.

It was not a regular winter for Maple Castle.

The king had chosen not to give a speech and officially declare war.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere around Maple Castle felt as if you were standing in the middle of an extremely cold area.

The people who had to face this coldness started to slowly show a single emotion.

�I will follow Commander Toonka-nim until the end.�

�Hey.�

�Forget the Mogoru or Moogoru or whatever they�re called. Do you know what I had to do to get here? Aren�t you in a similar situation?�

�Of course I know. I know very well.�

A venomous intent. The soldiers were starting to turn evil.

This was only possible because the Whipper Kingdom�s wars had originally started from a civil war.

�Oh!�

Choi Han and the soldiers made eye contact at that moment.

�Hello, priest-nim.�

�Hello, priest-nim!�

The expressions on the soldiers� faces quickly changed to that of respect, as if they had never had that evil look in the first place. Choi Han slightly bowed his head to greet the soldiers before starting to walk again.

�Choi Han, it�s different than how I imagined it would be.�

Choi Han remembered what Cale had said on their way to Maple Castle. Cale had seemed to be happy about something as he was smiling.

�I think the Whipper Kingdom�s people are more rational than I expected. The soldiers are angry at the king and the Empire, but they don�t seem to have gone crazy.�

Cale�s eyes had been sparkling. It was as if he was happy that he had originally come just to work but now he could do it with more sincerity.

�The Whipper soldiers are all properly trained warriors. Who do you think would win if they fought against the Empire�s soldiers?�

Choi Han looked back toward the soldiers who had greeted him. JrNovels.com
