Bab 917: Letters From Afar

After the meeting with the nobles and commanders, armies again marched toward Helios. This time, it was to show their support instead of sieging the city. Helios opened its gates to the knights, who were cheered for by the crowd.

Journalists earned their bread by covering this news, which shocked the world. It has been a little over a month since Helios had its tragic war, where an estimated fifty thousand victims fell, so their enthusiasm for a new one seemed bizarre.

"No one likes war, but the fields are dying, and no merchant is visiting our empire. I used to sell linen I obtained from merchants, but my shop closed because of the decision against us. This war might be the last hope for Ilios."

This comment was left by one shop owner who was found cheering among the crowd. The young journalist was confused by the mindset and hurried to suggest an alternative view of the war.
