Chapitre 1071: War is One of the Eternal Truths of Life

The Osan Woods' Butcher fiasco served as the spark to light the fire that already existed between the two kingdoms. He then injected massive amounts of weapons and potion bombs into the open market - supplying both sides with weapons to fill up the White Raven Guild's coffers.
