Chapter 239: Guanghua Settlement
After leaving Kawabe, our group kept flying south for an entire day, passing a few more towns during our travels.
We thought about stopping, but we didn’t want to lose the pace we had and just kept pushing until sunset.
At that time, we arrived at the city that bordered the Guanghua Kingdom, called "Nagare Town."
There were supposed to be three Kyotora towns that bordered Guanghua, and Nagare was one of them.
When the Guanghua Kingdom fell to tyranny, the citizens who managed to escape before the emperor closed the borders migrated to Nagare Town.
However, it was now occupied by guards from both sides—the Guanghua guards who didn’t let anyone through and the Kyotora guards who had to witness their cruelty.
While my group went to the inn to get our rooms, I walked around town for a bit and asked the residents about the situation with the border. Mainly to see what their thoughts were.
Unsurprisingly, all of them disagreed with the Guanghua Kingdom, but it’s not like they could do anything about it.
One man spotted me asking for information and beckoned me to go to him. He didn’t tell me his name, but he said that he was a refugee from Guanghua who managed to cross a day before the emperor gave the order to close off the borders.
