Before long, the entire population of Dry City found out about the war warning that young Stuart had released earlier.
That was not good news by any means. And as such, people had become somewhat fearful about the local future because of it.
After all, wars were not easy things to settle and usually involved a lot of risks and losses. So, even the population of this city, which was composed of many ordinary individuals without much knowledge, was aware of the seriousness of the situation.
And they really wouldn't need much knowledge about the regional past to know that independence or rebellion was not well received by the large regional forces... On the contrary, rebels were treated harshly and were usually exterminated sooner or later!
Hence, upon discovering Minos' intentions to fight a war of independence against the Brown Kingdom, the citizens knew that he was heading in a direction that had no return.
