There was another reason why Rodius had wanted to come and see Leon, and it had to do with the increased presence of people within Fort White. Over the past weeks, Rodius' people had noticed that the flow of people coming this way had continued to increase.
"I want to talk to you about the people in this town. I was curious about their presence, as the Desolate Lands are not a place where an average person would travel to." Rodius expressed his intentions.
"Haha, I see. Well, there is no need for you to worry. I simply have a goal to build my own empire starting from this small town. Most of the people you see here are warriors that are capable of defending themselves against the smaller threats that linger around the Desolate Lands. They will be the foundation of my empire." Leon explained simply, but those words set off a chain reaction of shock within Rodius' mind.
"You want to build an empire... Here? Are you mad?" The man could not help asking.
