Charles' brow furrowed slightly, extremely displeased with the Duchess; this was an outright threat.
Belisa took another deep breath to suppress the anxiety in her heart and said, "Please give up the people of Silver Pigeon Fort."
"The safety of the Duke far exceeds that of Silver Pigeon Fort. Your presence here has no significance for the overall war situation; only by rescuing the Duke can this war be completely reversed."
"Mister Mecklen, please consider the bigger picture."
As a transmigrator, Charles naturally felt a sense of alienation from everyone in this world, but having fought alongside the residents of Silver Pigeon Fort for so long, he had developed a subtle and different kind of affection for them.
To let him abandon the people of Silver Pigeon Fort to save a Duke Joseph, about whom he knew next to nothing, was utterly preposterous!
Was this not absurd?
It was messing with Charles himself.
