The Snake King was startled upon hearing the sudden news. He also realized that it is indeed the right time to attack their city since their main force just left and was about to compete for the ownership of the Artifact.
However, it still doesn't make sense.
"Who's the culprit of this?! Are they trying to save the prisoners we have?"
"N-no, my King… It appears that it was even started by the prisoners."
"What? How is that even possible? Right, what happened to the Snake Guardian? He should act if he senses a threat within the City."
"That…"
The soldier then continued reporting to the king. After a while, the king can only clench his fist in frustration.
He can't order them to retreat right now because of the situation. He can't just give up the Conqueror Staff after all.
"Tsk… We'll deal with that later. Once I managed to get my hands on that Artifact, it should be a small matter to deal with them."
Theramas, the Snake King, can only put off their revenge.
