Reports about how the number of White Star�s subordinates who infiltrated the Roan Kingdom�s Northwest region was much higher than expected and that they were strong continued to fill the room.

�We must send more forces to protect the Stan territory!�

But there were also people who opposed that suggestion.

�No! The forces protecting the capital would decrease if we send any more troops to the Northwest region!�
�We are in a war right now! We cannot reduce the number of troops at the capital!�

One of the Generals frowned as he raised his voice.

�Then are we just going to throw away the Stan territory?!�
�You know that is not what I meant! But we must leave the troops here because the capital cannot be breached! Wouldn�t it be better to send troops from the other regions to the Northwest region?�
�Are you joking? We can�t do that! The troops in the nearby territories are not enough to defend against the White Star�s forces!�

You could not stop a heavy storm with a straw house.

Sending the troops from the other territories would likely end up in the soldiers dying without injuring the White Star�s forces at all.

�But we still cannot take any more troops away from the capital.�

The other vassal shook his head with a stiff expression.

�The capital. The capital and the palace are the centers of everything in the Roan Kingdom. The command system itself will fall apart if this place is destroyed.�

The vassal slowly peeked toward Alberu before looking back.

��It would be terrible if the White Star came to the capital instead of the Stan territory and something happened to his highness.�

They had to prevent that at all costs.

The reason the Roan Kingdom could maintain its growth right now was because of Alberu Crossman�s sturdy presence at the center.

On the other hand, they could not let the Stan territory fall either.

��This is the first real battle against the White Star. The war will become more difficult if we show us losing the first battle!�

The morale would fall as well.

They could not just sit back and let that happen.

�Doesn�t the White Star think that the item he is looking for is in the Northwest region? Then we should protect that place because he is guaranteed to go there!�

The person arguing against him pounded his chest in frustration.

�And what will you do if those bastards use the opening in the capital to attack the palace?! Are you going to take responsibility if something happens to his highness?!� JrNovels.com
