Chapter 259
In the western border of Krasilov, the largest city in Drovian connected by train was Eldbark.
This region was the most fiercely resistant to Krasilov’s territorial expansion leading up to the Great War and had been a base used for the most active plundering routes until Einar’s unification of Drovian.
These two sentences define the nature of this city. It means that war is always prepared, it is extremely belligerent, and at the same time, it maintains the most hostile environment towards Krasilov.
“It’s not like that anymore. That’s just prejudice.”
Ecdysis was passionately arguing. The group was on a train heading to Drovian.
“How long has it been since the United Kingdom was founded! Now plundering is… ‘a bad custom’ that my father has officially declared!”
For your reference, in Drovian, ‘bad custom’ means the easiest way for a man to prove his manhood, as long as it’s not discovered.
It’s no wonder that they get flustered when Lorensia is called a Drovian warrior. Krasilov was of such stature and was sincere about border monitoring, making it difficult to attempt it, but Lorensia was relatively approachable.
However, Ecdysis sat proudly upright. Logically, wouldn’t a trading center not be hostile to foreigners? Who would attempt trade in such a place?
