A few days later, unexpected news came to them.
"The Church doesn't seem like they intend to go into hiding." Miles had just left on his search, so it had been unexpected that he would return to the Town of Crewe this time. He reported to Benjamin, saying, "The latest news is that Grant has brought his men to enter and stationed themselves in a village on the mountain in the north, called Karl. They've not hushed up the news, so now believers from all over the country are gathering there."
Hearing that, Benjamin frowned.
What was this about?
Although it already felt slightly as though the Church was at a dead end, it was still not so bad that they had to run into a small mountain village. If the Church was thinking about gathering their forces and fighting to the death, they should have chosen a large city at least, and engage in battle in a situation where they had city walls and the advantage of the terrain, instead of being like this now.
Had they already... given up?
