Trash of the Count's Family (401-600)

Chapter 589 - Before the sun comes up (1)

Cale turned back toward Alberu.

'I don't know whether the information underneath the boulder is related to the sealed god, but-'

He had a feeling that it would definitely be helpful.

Cale had currently walked out of the central shelter to talk with Alberu and Choi Han in a nearby area.

"That is why..."

Alberu was silent for a moment before he continued to speak.

'I must explain to you what is going on right now."
"I see. Please go ahead."

Alberu opened and closed his mouth a few times before starting to speak, almost as if he was sighing.

"All other kingdoms on the Eastern continent except the Molden Kingdom have allied themselves with the White Star."

Cale started to frown.

"That is why it is likely that I will need to remove the troops that I have stationed by the Gate to the Demon World if I leave the Eastern continent."

The reason they were able to stay there despite the pressure from the Eastern continent was because Alberu had personally been there.

The Eastern continent did not want to attack the future king of a strong kingdom on the Western continent.

They didn't want their actions to start a war between the continents.

"And it might be difficult to set up camp by the Endable Kingdom again if we withdraw now."

Choi Han, who had been listening, started to speak.

"Your highness, what will happen to our allies who are currently stuck inside the Endable Kingdom?"
"Eruhaben-nim said that they should be able to last for a few weeks because they are with the priestess of the God of War."

He looked toward Cale and added on.

"The Molan Household, Mercenaries Guild, and Duke Fredo have said that they will stay in the Eastern continent to help them as well. The Elves and Dark Elves will keep both sides informed."

Cale started to speak.

"It looks like you've already planned to return to the Western continent, your highness."

Cale and Alberu made eye contact.

"Yes. What we are doing right now is inefficient."

Both of their eyes were calm.

"We must rescue you and our other allies who are currently stuck inside the Endable Kingdom. That fact has not changed."

Alberu continued to speak.

"However, it is inefficient for us to just be gathered around the Endable Kingdom without a plan. We can't even teleport into the Endable Kingdom because of the black barrier covering the sinkhole. It's the same situation for the people inside."

Of course, the White Star's side might have a way to get out as they were able to negotiate with the other kingdoms on the Eastern continent.

Either way, all Alberu had been doing was watching the black barrier.

"In that case, we might as well research a different method and get things prepared for the right time."

The moment Alberu was waiting for...

"The moment when you finish your test."

That moment would be when Cale returns from this test.

"I can tell when that would be."
