Messenger from the Sunville Mining Village

The news shocked all the people on the palace's balcony.

"Messenger, you know the consequences if you made an error in your report," coldly stated the Imperial Knight-Captain.

"I-I'm telling the truth, sir!" Stuttered the messenger.

The Imperial Knight-Captain twitched his brow and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor could not help but feel something was amiss. He suspected that there must be behind-the-scenes movements involved in this matter.

This news had brought too much pressure onto him. And it will worsen at a later date. He had a bad feeling about it.

This loss of thousands of Imperial armies will weaken the Imperial family's power and disturb the balance.

The emperor secretly clenched his fists as he grabbed the hem of his white and gold sleeves.

"Your Majesty…" the Imperial Knight-Captain called worriedly.
