Taylor strongly emphasized his opinion.

�Furthermore, our role is to resist for as long as possible. I�m sure you�ll agree with at least that much, your highness.�

Resist until Cale�s group gets there.
Hold ourselves back even if we want to fight.

It was because the White Star�s forces were strong.

�I don�t think there is a need to head out of the sturdy walls and walk into the enemy�s trap.�
�That�s right. Marquis Taylor is correct, your highness. You can send one of your vassals as your representative, but you cannot go out yourself.�

It was at that moment.
They heard the White Star�s voice again.

�I don�t think you should take too long to make up your mind.�

Screeeeeech Screech, screech.

Multiple carriages appeared on the same path where the wyverns had been on the ground.

�Soooob.�
�Sniff! P, please-�
�S, save us. Sooooob.�

There were wooden cages where luggage should have been.
There were people imprisoned inside those cages.

�T, those crazy bastards!�

Marquis Taylor�s expression instantly changed.

He started to frown and clenched the ledge he had walked up to.
His two hands were shaking.

The White Star sneered before continuing to speak.

�These are your citizens that my subordinates just captured. I�m sure some of them are from the Stan territory.�

The vassals started to frown.
They had wondered why the first battle had not been very fierce, but they seem to have attacked a small village away from the Lord�s Castle in order to capture the residents living there.

��It�s my fault.�

Taylor lowered his head.

He had not thought about the other residents nor the rest of the kingdom�s citizens because he was busy defending against the White Star�s subordinates� sudden attack.
But the fact that he had no time to think about them because he was busy guarding the Lord�s Castle was just an excuse. JrNovels.com
