Chapter 179: Split Up

As news of the missing orb broke out, the Holletta Royals and the Church trembled. They immediately launched a search campaign and investigations on those connected to the escort of the orb, including all knights and clergies. There were existing outposts of the church knights and the royal knights around Beinz Blood Lake. The area had been totally locked down and individual mercenaries were barred from entering. Only authorised mercenary groups and knights participating in the search operation were given an exception. It was one of the few incidents where the state required large scale mercenary service.
