Summoning the Holy Sword

Erin didn’t capture Christie as hostage, destroy the fortress, or murder anyone, so Rhode heaved a sigh of relief and became rather curious about her. In the game, his understanding of Erin was only that of what ordinary players knew about her. He couldn’t figure out whether Erin passed by his fortress while on her way to the Golden City or held other motives. Judging from her actions, the latter possibility was more probable. After all, the mountain ranges couldn’t stop that formidable strength of hers. As long as she concealed her identity, she could enter the Munn Kingdom without anyone’s detection and didn’t need to show herself in the Land of Atonement.

“But we need to inform Lydia about this. Remember, don’t let anyone else know about this. Inform only Lydia.”

If the Munn Kingdom was aware that the princess of the Country of Darkness had entered their country, perhaps chaos would break out immediately.

The problem regarding Erin had ended. Although Rhode was still dubious, he wasn’t that concerned since she was no longer in his territory. However, this proved that his method was wrong. No matter what, there were a limited number of figures who could avoid the detection of the Holy Maiden Statue, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gum… This unfortunate case was just an exception.

Apart from this surprising piece of news, everything else in the Land of Atonement was going on smoothly. On the other hand, Marlene brought a piece of good news for Rhode—the Battle Mage Group finally arrived at the fortress. Back then, he valued their abilities, which was also what the Land of Atonement was lacking the most. They appeared at the right time as it would replenish his insufficient manpower. But the problem was that…

“They’re not doing as well as you think, Rhode.”

Marlene poured cold water over him.
