The Chief Knight Bennet's expression distorted as soon as he read the letter from Medea Forest Keeper.
Reports of large-scale movement of ghouls came up one after another and from time to time along with news about the invasion of monsters came from the area protected by the guardian tree.
The frequency of such events has been gradually increasing.
In such a situation, ominous news came from the Medea forest.
Medea Forest was one of the sacred areas directly managed by the Church. It is a land where a 700-year-old guardian tree was born.
Legends say, in her journey to see the world, Saintess Medea came across this place devastated by large-scale war and found a dying plum blossom tree. She took a sapling from a dying plant and nourished it with her blood, and planted it over the land which was later born into a guardian tree producing fruits with divine power having miraculous effects.
