Chapter 450: Declaration of War (3)
"They will come to Tochka. Because my son is there."
Hugo replied to the skepticism everyone was expressing toward Tochka.
His assurance, so full of conviction that it seemed almost self-righteous, drew chatter from those around him.
"Tochka is a well-defended fortress, but it has no strategic value because there is no place to get drinking water, right?"
"There was a lanky warlord who encamped there during the Warring States Period and was defeated because there was no water."
"That's why it's called 'Crying Castle.'."
"The Leviathan Family are so sneaky and cunning, they would never target such a place."
The evaluations of those around him were generally negative.
... But Baskerville patriarch Hugo isn't one to let the stares and comments get to him.
"So what are you saying?"
That's his way. No one can open their mouths to Hugo's rebuttal.
