Chapter 374: THE NEWS REACHED THE CAPITAL

Asgaro region is north of Loth. Aero guess that Eric must also have plans for it. Asgaro would be the place where Eric could mount a counterattack toward the Church when it is time.

Of course this is just his conjecture and nothing could be confirmed until it actually happens.

Eric appear to lose but he is doing all this all to strengthen the internal power of the kingdom. 

Aero play chess and there is no way of winning a game of chess without sacrificing a few pawn along the way. 

He knew how important it is to sacrifice the pawn so that he could checkmate the King

Eric is trying to checkmate the King. So why would he care about a few pawns?

Aero smiles and shook his head. 

'Still, I have to meet him and talk with him. It would be a pity to not talk with such a hero' he thought to himself. 

Aero would not let Duvar fall into Eric hand. After all, why would he make it easy on Eric?
