Chapter 178
As dawn broke, everyone was summoned once again for a meeting of the Rogaha Alliance.
Shadows hung deep beneath their eyes, revealing whatever had transpired throughout the night. It was evident they had spent the hours agonizing over how to win the war while minimizing damage to their respective nations.
However.
“…….”
Everyone in the meeting stood wide-eyed and flustered by the current scene. Khal, who had been watching them from the periphery with a look of disdain, turned his gaze toward the object placed upon the table.
It was a human corpse, its black bones exposed, showing signs of having suffered immensely before being corroded away.
“W-What is this?”
Agitation naturally spread among the high-ranking officials. Unable to contain his curiosity, someone directed the question to Khal.
Khal replied with a nonchalant expression.
“It is a body sent by a subordinate who infiltrated the Rizanti Kingdom. Hundreds of such corpses are appearing daily after just a single use of a Magical Heritage. Do you feel anything after seeing this?”
A low murmur broke out.
At Khal’s words, the members of the Rogaha Alliance belatedly realized the gravity of the situation.
“They would commit such atrocities without a shred of guilt just to win?”
“Those people have already twisted the very meaning of the Holy Kingdom. They are demons.”
Curses and condemnations against Sanctuarium for committing such a massacre flowed from their lips. Khal, listening quietly, let out a low remark.
“This is the price of the day you wasted on foolishness. Do you still think you can win this war while calculating your profits and losses?”
