章節 852: Chapter 852: Because I'm not you

"One year... All I need is one year and you'll see a new city. You'll see a city that would be strong enough to protect itself from everything that comes its way, even if it's the Royals!"

"They want to wipe out the mixed blood within a year? Let them dream! Within this one year, I'll make you strong enough that even the Royals will have to think twice before attacking us!"

"However, until we're absolutely ready, we can't afford a war. So I have one humble request from you all. If possible, I don't want you to tell anyone about what happened here today. If the Royals knew, they would come attacking before we're ready."

Karyk's voice was filled with compassion and seriousness. The people responded in a similar manner, taking an oath to always follow Karyk's instructions.
