Capítulo 394: Risk of War (2)

"Birds die in pursuit of food, and humans die in pursuit of wealth. Humans have always been capable of both great and stupid things," Vaan casually commented.

"That said, Transcendent Sybil shouldn't be blinded by greed to the point of being that stupid. Unless she had betrayed humanity, she must have devised a solid plan to ensure the war between our kingdom and the Holy Knight Empire without involving other countries."

"Right," Astoria agreed, calming down after listening to Vaan's words. Then, she added, "To begin with, the risk of continental war is only high when any of the witch kingdoms wage war on other countries."

"We are the defenders of humanity. So, other countries will be nervous concerning our intentions and ambition if we invade another human country instead of defending against Gehenna."

"It's a different story if the Holy Knight Empire is the aggressor and the one to initiate the war," Astoria stated after some consideration.
