Chapter 67: The Unavoidable War

"Get your warriors ready," Sandora said to me after those mercenaries had finally left, "we might be headed for a war."

"War? With whom?"

I was shocked by the news. Wasn't Sandora just going through a period of war-weariness? How had she so quickly reverted to her Battle Song Princess persona?

Of course, I'd also help eliminate some demonized creatures for the humans here, fulfilling some of the obligations as a member of the Xyrin Empire. But war—I had never considered it; it was just too discordant...

Seeing my surprise and reluctance, Sandora said irritably, "Do you think I want this? The problem is that this world has been corrupted by the Abyss Power. As a Xyrin Apostle, how can I tolerate these adversaries of the Empire acting so brazenly?"
