Chapter 1031: Volume 33, Where to Go, - 19, The Battle that Sways the City (2)
When Komer realized that war was inevitable, his reaction was unprecedented.
This was a war that would decide fate, and Komer knew this better than anyone. If facing the beastmen or the military provocations of the Northern Alliance, one could still escape with dignity and return to fight another day, but facing the might of the Court and the Wind Riders, there was no chance of escape once defeated.
Perhaps they won’t destroy him physically, but he would forever become their spectacle, used to show the entire Continent what happens to those who dare challenge the Church of Light—the result being a beaten-down version of himself.
Thus, the importance of this battle cannot be overstated in any terms.
Komer accepted Rebry’s suggestion to set the Battlefield at Damarlinsk Castle.
Retreating to Damarlinsk Castle wasn’t shameful considering the overwhelming strength of the Court and the allied forces of Wind Riders. Utilizing the powerful underground dark energy of Damarlinsk Castle, the members of Dark Lineage could surpass their usual limits.
Still, this wasn’t the most crucial part, Uma would play a decisive role in this war.
The various Charming Spirits beneath the third level of Damarlinsk Castle would become Komer’s ultimate countermeasure, he was reluctant to expose the secrets of Damarlinsk Castle unless absolutely necessary, but when everything potentially comes to an end, concealing them any further would be pointless.
Komer demanded that Basarabia send three of their finest and most loyal high-ranking knights to Ugru as quickly as possible, even directly requesting that Sobchakov, known as the Eagle of Basarabia, be among them. Komer did not tell Antonio the reason; he simply needed the person to act as requested. By then, no one could stay uninvolved.
The elites of the Three Great Knights were also gathered for targeted formation training, which puzzled the chiefs of the knights, but Komer gave them no explanation. Obedience is a knight’s duty.
Among them, Shatima undoubtedly felt the intense war spirit most profoundly, especially when Komer spent a great deal of time meditating in the meditation room, she sensed something odd, but for her, it was naturally a rare opportunity; she was immensely eager for a brutally unprecedented war to maximize her combat potential.
