"What damn weather," the baron, Jean Bate, muttered as he stared at the overcast sky by the"It's raining again"

It rained a lot in the Sedimentation Bay, particularly in summer and fall Unexpected storms visited this city often, so the city was equipped with a well-developed drainage system Unlike the Broken Tooth Castle and Graystone City where roads instantly turned muddy after a heavy rain, the rain here would only affect the cargo transportation The impact of the weather was indeed minimal to the urban area

Jean was actuallyrain

The sky would soon clear out after the shower, but his ured out how to reply to theerly

"Reply?" the baron sneered "What would you say if you have to pick between being hanged and being burned?"

"Er" The clerk fell silent

"You can't "

"But" Zu to formulate a proper answer

Jean Bate knew very well that playing for time was just a temporary solution Like the prospective storm that would come no matter ardless

Everything started with the war against the church

After the fall of the king's city of the Kingdom of Wolfheart, dozens of lords, all of a sudden, clai of Wolfheart These alleged royal blood forht for the throne After nudom was divided into three major territories, each dominated by the Token Family in the northwest, the "Redstone Gate" Family in the south, and the "Tusk" Family in the mountainous area in the east

Since the Tokens were relatively far from the Sedimentation Bay, they had never come to bother Jean However, both the Redstone Gate Fa strenuously to win him over to further expand their territories

Unfortunately, however, the Redstone Gate and the Tusk Families were powerful in equal measure

Under such circumstances, he could join neither of theeance froht to trade meant they would have to produce food and other military supplies by themselves while the other party would be entitled to a constant supply of resources Neither of the two families would like to put themselves in such an unfavorable situation

Therefore, a ould be inevitable

There was no fortified city wall or deepthe city, which ainst the invasion
