Chapter 141: White Dragon I
Treviso.
This border area between the Dragona Empire and the Holy Empire was currently in a state of quiet yet intense tension. A war between the allied forces and the Tarkic Empire was said to be raging in the south. Just a few hours ago, another army from the Kingdom of Roland had passed through this area.

Of course, the Holy Empire’s power was strong, and if fully mobilized, it could move an army comparable to that of the Tarkic Empire, but at this point, it was taking time. Meanwhile, the empire’s financial situation had not been favorable.
At a time like this, the fact that Bahamut’s Beden Merchant Company and Bertina’s Uranus Merchant Company were providing support by releasing huge funds was a small comfort. But this wasn’t a time to feel relieved.
