Sol had never been afraid of wars.
Neither had James.
However, he knew that war would only bring suffering to the common folk.
He was an advocate for peace.
He would gladly resort to other means if war could be averted.
Even though the Southern Plains City had fallen to the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations, James did not act impulsively. He did not mobilize his troops to retake the lost territories. Instead, he opted to thoroughly investigate the matter.
He wanted to know the chain of events that led to the incident. He did not wish to be used as a mere pawn.
To get to the bottom of the incident, they would first have to know the background of the deceased and whether their visit to Sol was a mere coincidence or arranged for by someone behind the scenes.
At this moment, the Black Dragon army was unable to cross into other countries to investigate.
Therefore, this responsibility fell on the assassins.
They were experienced assassins who roamed the world. Besides, they had the means to enter a country via illegal means. They had their ways to sneak into the country clandestinely and investigate the backgrounds of the deceased.
The assassins left.
The sun set.
Stars glimmered in the pitch-black sky.
On a training ground in a military region of Lavender Town, many soldiers were conducting their drills.
James, Henry, and Levi sat by the side.
They sat on the floor drinking wine, looking at the soldiers that were conducting drills.
Henry sighed. “James, you used to train day and night like this. Do you still remember?”
“Is that so?”
James scratched his nose. Those days seemed to be in the distant past.
Changing the subject, he said, “Henry, Levi, I can’t help but feel that the twenty-eight nations are after me.”
Hearing this, they froze.
Henry looked at James and asked puzzledly, “After you?”
