"Priest, the things I'm about to tell you must not be shared with anyone else."
Inside the church bathed in the setting sun, under the sacred and grand statue, Kasim's face was grave, so serious that even his breathing halted.
What he was about to discuss were military secrets, whose leakage could lead to unimaginable consequences.
If he and Marvin were not old friends, often hearing about the Church of Truth from the letters sent by his mother, perhaps he wouldn't have bared his heart.
Locking eyes with his clear pupils, Marvin slowly nodded:
"Okay."
"War is upon us."
With laconic gravity, Kasim stated, "Now, aside from our forces stationed on the West Island, the Eastern Island where the King's Capital is located has already started to prepare for war in secret."
"Various armies are gathering at the borders. This is a massive military operation, comparable to the prolonged war with the Boupon Kingdom a century ago."
