The Exchange of Hostages

The king was quite moved when he saw the people become silent.

Even though he had been pampered and spoiled by the people around him since a very young age, he had never felt such a sense of fulfilment before today. General Rexton who was all in his face just minutes ago now lay beneath his feet, and all this was achieved through his own efforts.

Or maybe it was the baiting plan that they had crafted earlier.

When they were discussing ideas in the chief’s house, they knew that there was no way that they could directly fight with the army. If that really were to happen, the ten mages could easily fly away to escape, but what would become of the king and the tens of apprentices?

Thus, they had to come up with this plan to bait and kidnap the General.
