章 68: PROVOCATION

"Captain, there has been a distressing development at the eastern border," one of the knights reported urgently to Eli. His voice carried a hint of concern, reflecting the gravity of the situation.

"Hordes of Belial monsters have emerged, launching attacks on innocent civilians in the vicinity. However, we swiftly intervened and managed to prevent any casualties."

Eli's expression shifted, his brows furrowing as he absorbed the weight of the news. He nodded, acknowledging the knight's efforts. "You've done well," he commended, his voice filled with a mixture of gratitude and confidence. "I place my trust in you to handle the situation at the eastern border for now, as Leo is currently on leave attending to personal matters."
