"You're going to send troops?"
That was the first reaction of the delegates when they heard what I said.
Their second reaction was to look at me with looks of doubt.
After all, they didn't believe that I would do something like this without having some kind of ulterior motive. So even though they had technically accomplished what they had set out to do, it didn't seem like they were happy about it.
Even the ones from the Holy Empire and the Tide Empire looked at me with these same doubtful looks.
I just shook my head with a faint smile before saying, "That's what I said. Do you not want them anymore?"
The delegates quickly shook their heads before the one from the Sorcery Empire asked, "Why are you suddenly deciding to send troops? Did something happen?"
