Jormungandr and Freya couldn't help but frown as they heard those words. The duo understood the need to test the offensive might of the Azarin Empire's capital to understand what the Xaos Kingdom's forces would face once they marched in.
However, while they were strong and certainly capable of defending themselves, they would be crushed if they marched against the capital. Even a probatory attack would reveal their presence, and if the Pope were to appear with a few hundred strong soldiers, they might not be able to escape alive.
Vlad noticed the duo's worry and spoke with a relaxed smile. "Don't worry, I do not propose we attack the capital. I am not that crazy. However, we will have to work very hard to get accurate information. I have a plan, and it will not be easy, but success will give us all the information we might need."
