Chapter 613 - Volume 16: Hazy Darkness Chapter 6: Hidden Agendas

"Your Highness, it is merely a temporary capital relocation. Currently, the Beastmen's two armies are nearly forming a pincer movement, and the Blue Dove Corps can hardly withstand the northern Beastman Army. Once Jazair is encircled, the kingdom will truly be finished. If we temporarily withdraw from Jazair and retreat to the south, the kingdom could then catch its breath, allowing us to assess the situation, observe the Beastmen's next move. The vast central region could serve as a buffer zone. If the Beastmen are only out to plunder, then there's little more to say, but if they intend to occupy the land long-term, then so much the better. As the vast central region acts as a buffer zone, the deeper they penetrate, the greater the pressure they will face. Whether it's from the Four Great Lords or the Northern Alliance to the west of the kingdom, the kingdom might gain even greater support."
