As soon as he got into the carriage, the Infiltrator leader's face displayed a complex expression: "Their discipline is lax, and their strength is not particularly formidable, but the equipnt they possess is sothing we in the Shadow Country of the past could only dream of.
Looking back now, it really is jealousy, sheer jealousy!"
"The kingdom established by the halflings is sowhat pathological.
After all, they didn't have much autonomy when they first established it. Because of the abundance of alchemy storms on that land, not many were willing to bother with them.
A country that has not experienced a founding war is like this, not to ntion that although the country was established by halflings, a significant portion of the power is in the hands of the gnos.
Even in terms of alchemy technology and other related industries, they are jointly controlled by the gnos and parts of the Church from the Holy Hall of Briania.
In short... the tragic fate of a powerless country is that it easily becos a subsidiary of others, and at critical monts, can even be sacrificed by other nations."
"Even though I had a slight understanding of the state of this country before going... I still can't understand, how they could allow their realm to beco like this?!"
The Infiltrator leader did not elaborate further on matters concerning the Orean Independent Kingdom, instead, he turned his gaze to the combat maids around and said:
"Many compatriots were severely injured. If it weren't for you helping to rescue them right away, they likely wouldn't have endured long enough to return to the territory for treatnt, and would have been killed by the enemy."
Compared to ordinary slis, Gluttonous Slis, having a certain degree of self-awareness, can quickly cover wound surfaces to re-establish blood circulation and a hemostatic system when armored knights suffer severe injuries.
Although they still have to endure imnse pain and almost unbearable tornt, they can remain sowhat conscious and continue to survive.
Of course, such an external life-support system cannot persist indefinitely.
Gluttonous Slis, after all, are not the person's own body; they can suppress injuries temporarily, but as ti goes on, the body's immune chanisms and various other factors will continuously weaken the protective effects of the Gluttonous Slis.
If tily treatnt and managent are not possible, the body will inevitably drift towards decline.
"Fortunately, Lancaster still has a fairly good healing system."
After taking stock of the situation of the personnel, apart from the 3 missing Shadow Clan mbers, whose connections to the network of the Gluttonous Slis are also lost, the rest, for now, can at least hang on to life and return for treatnt.
There are a considerable number of priests within Lancaster Territory.
Most of them co from the Earth Mother Goddess Church and the Dawn Lord Church. The priests from these two churches are considerably better at healing compared to most other church priests.
Not to ntion having the Lord to handle the end.
The Infiltrator leader had once had the fortune to witness so of Kael's healing thods, which can only be described as mysterious and unfathomable.
Though, the scene at the mont could sowhat be considered a bit grueso.
"Alas, although the overall situation is relatively better now, there are still 3 compatriots who have completely lost their life's response."
Regardless of how you look at it, causing such chaos in another's Royal Capital and still having so many mbers survive, with only 3 Shadow Clan mbers permanently missing, is already a comndable feat.
"Speaking of which... Miss Hassaka, your [Shadow Garden]'s strength is truly formidable!
We can all distinctly feel the pressure from the Royal Capital's side continually diminishing, and I encountered almost no resistance when infiltrating the Elental Furnace.
It's unimaginable how you managed to clear out so many guards!"
Hassaka was montarily stunned, subconsciously saying: "Wasn't it your subordinates who cleared them? I was even about to comnd you for suddenly being so competent!"
Now it was the Infiltrator leader's turn to be stunned: "Wasn't it you?"
"No, when I arrived, there weren't many guards left, and I was curious as to how you suddenly beca so strong.
You were quite inadequate in the Dungeon, and I even slightly praised you on my way here, but now it seems... perhaps the person who acted wasn't you!"
The Infiltrator leader seed to realize sothing, mumbling quietly: "I knew it, I knew there had to be a reason why a country's core like the Royal Capital would be so inadequately defended..."
He vaguely grasped the truth.
It probably wasn't because the guard ability of the Orean Independent Kingdom was particularly weak, but rather, more important issues diverted those people's efforts.
Lord, was all this within your expectations?
...
[Location: Orean Independent Kingdom · Royal Capital · Council Hall]
An elderly halfling who appeared sleepy sat on the throne, looking down at his sons with a lack of enthusiasm, and said:
"How are the matters being handled?"
"Father, the Royal Capital's secret guards are mostly taken care of."
"Very good, that's good, with this, the gnos will have fewer accesses within our Royal Capital to use..."
