South Serif and the people of Behemoth Duchy have a deep-seated hatred for each other, and both sides wish to slaughter the other.
However, the Black Phoenix Dynasty holds no such animosity towards South Serif, and with the retreat of the Westwind Knights, the military forces of the Black Phoenix Dynasty moving in will likely result in almost no casualties.
But if both sides start a battle in Sedona City, at least ten to twenty percent of the population would perish, as war always affects the civilians.
Charles believes that, no matter how he explains it, the residents of Sedona will never accept this; they would only accept the Westwind Knights' unwavering defense of Sedona, no matter the casualties among the knights.
No matter how high Charles's prestige may be, it's of no use, for such are the inclinations of people.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "What's the difference between you and those Behemoth people?"
"When danger comes, you just abandon us?"
