Chapter 575
“…!”
The blue-haired man couldn’t help but be startled by the Marquis of Hadle’s words.
‘Today?’
Baramanjang knew the Holy Empire’s forces were at Kaltura Castle. But he hadn’t known they were departing today.
-To Gipsal: Gipsal!
Upon learning of the departure, Paranmanjang immediately sent a whisper to Gipsal. He had to send the information now.
-Gipsal: Yes?
-To Gipsal: This is serious!
-Gipsal: A big problem?
-To Gipsal: They say the Holy Empire is departing today.
-Gipsal: Huh? Really?
‘He seems surprisingly calm about it.’
Maybe it’s because we’re not talking face-to-face? For some reason, the whisper showed no trace of surprise.
‘It must be because it’s a whisper…’
Barunmanjang thought. It was definitely because it was a whisper. Barunmanjang was certain Gipsal was making a surprised face right now.
-To Gipsal: Yes, I don’t know the exact time, but they definitely said they’re leaving today.
-Gipsal: Understood! But are only the Holy Empire’s forces coming?
– To Gipsal: Hold on a moment!
Upon reflection, it seemed unlikely the Holy Empire would be departing alone. If they split up, there was a risk of being defeated piecemeal, and neither the Kingdom of Alion nor the Holy Empire would be unaware of that.
‘Surely they wouldn’t actually depart separately just out of pride?’
Of course, that was just a hunch, not a certainty. It was possible only the Holy Empire was departing today.
