[401-600] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 459 - Captured

Lumilia, Lynn, and Princess Alea were sitting around a table. The three of them had the same depressed look on their faces.

"It's been a few weeks and there's still no news about Bryan..." Lumilia sighed as she looked at the coffee on the table.

"Sigh... I've tasked my subordinates to investigate the incident and they haven't found anything. Some of the huge family is cooperating with us like Bentley Family and they've given every information about it. Every evidence pointed out that Bryan is the killer." Alea stopped for a moment before she added, "Damn, just who would dare to cause me some troubles... I, a princess of a blood moon am getting tired about everything."

"Princess, your manners." Lumilia smiled wryly.

"Uwa, I forgot that we're in a public place." Alea fixed her posture.

"I know Bryan and I'm sure that he wouldn't resort to killing. If he wanted the girl to escape then he would simply knock out those guards. He isn't Souta who is decisive about this kind of things." Lumilia said. "If it was Souta then I would believe that Souta would kill those guards leave no one alive but it was Bryan. Bryan is a kind-hearted person who loves fighting but hates killing."

"Yeah, I'm sure that Bryan didn't kill those guards." Lynn nodded.

"But we don't have any evidence." Alea narrowed her eyes. "I will be forced to restart the investigation."

"We'll be doing our own investigation too but... A lot of people are wary about us since they thought that we're hiding Bryan from the authorities." Lumilia said.

The one that solidified Bryan as the killer was the event when he fought the guards near the red light district. The guards said that they were trying to talk to Bryan when he suddenly attacked them. It only means one thing, Bryan was the killer. If he wasn't the killer then why would he attack those guards?

In one of the rooms inside the royal palace...

A tall man wearing a full plate golden-colored armor was looking at the window. He was Resti, the commander of the Eternal's Army that talked to Bargan a few weeks ago. One of the top experts of the empire.

'Bargan have left the empire to go to the battlefield and the demons have shattered the barrier in the Listen Wastes. Their forces are spreading quickly.' Resti frowned as he placed his hand on his back. 'The battlefield is being pushed towards the Heretic's Dynasty. A war against the demon? Who would have thought that it would happen in my generation.'

The war in the Heretic's Dynasty was going to last as it was different from Listen Wastes which was caught off guard by the demons. But Resti knew that it wouldn't last long if no one helped the Heretic's Dynasty.

Small countries would simply crumble under the might of the demon army but the Heretic's Dynasty was a large country that had a god-level powerhouse protecting them. So they would be able to resist for one or two weeks.

On the other side, he doesn't need to worry about demons passing through the body of water that divided the Listen Wastes and Lion's Kingdom, and Fort Anvi. Those two large countries were experts in naval warfare.

The Three Great Countries were only watching the situation. Resti understood the mindset of those people. He knew that the great countries would let the large countries fight the demon army and when the two sides were exhausted that's when they will appear to swallow everything.

That's not all. There was another reason why they weren't making a move. They were wary about the Mechanic Country. The military prowess that the mechanic army showed in the war against the Sy, Rhine, and Distrok nations exceeded their expectations. Those three nations were large countries yet the Mechanic Country handled them perfectly.
