The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 1597

Dorodo’s mayor was appointed by Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, Quentin was from Dragon Kingdom.

The city was in the City State Union, but it was equivalent to Dragon Kingdom’s territory.

Dorodo’s city defense army was also of Dragon Kingdom’s army. Therefore, Astor and Quentin were generally considered colleagues.

However, Dorodo’s city defense army and its mayor Quentin were also an alliance of mutual assistance.

Now that Dorodo’s city defense army had a new commander-in-chief, Quentin was concerned about the alliance.

It was why he invited Astor to his daughter’s ball. He wanted to talk to Astor at the ball to sound him out about his plans and decide their cooperation.

It seemed he had nothing to worry about. It was because Astor was not making any changes, so they were keeping everything the way it was.

“I wish us a happy cooperation.” Quentin raised his glass and smiled casually.

Astor nodded slightly and raised the glass in his hand.

Just then, an errand runner burst in from the outside and broke into the party hall.

Astor not only brought the chiliarches Gregory, Anthony, and Wesley to the ball with him, but he also brought a team of 20 men.

After all, he was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo’s city defense army. He was in a high position, so he had his own safety to consider.

The City-State Union was also a chaotic place where law and order were basically decoration. In case of an assassination attempt, the team of 20 men could come in handy.
