章 643: Aftermath

(Luke's POV)

Luke simply stared at Cervantez in disbelief for a while, as he could not understand why the guildmaster would betray him like this?

In private, when the two of them held a conversation, Cervantez did say that joining hands with the rebels wasn't entirely unfeasible since the guild did stand to gain a lot from this alliance, however, in the end he seemed to decide against it.

"Start preparing for a two front war. We still need to stave off the demons, but we can't ignore the threat of rebels either.

Start expanding your divisions and recruiting more men.

Increase the purchase of weapons.

Don't leak the news within the guild that we are expecting a war to break out just yet, but start arranging mock drills and tactical practice sessions.

If we're going to do this, then we must do this right" Cervantez said, as Luke let out a self-deprecating chuckle as he stood up from his seat.
