A declaration of war rang out, and the entire venue fell silent.
The whole of Suke Street became eerily quiet.
All the soldiers were stunned.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Declare war on Inner Bay?
That's the Inner Bay of the Golden Lion Family!
Do they stand a chance?
All the soldiers could see the unease on each other's faces, yet as soldiers loyal to the Bert Family, they could not speak out against it.
More importantly, if they opposed now, they would likely be killed as a warning to others, right?
The soldiers who had just fought their way through and were bloodied fell into silence.
Count Bert squinted his eyes.
At this moment, the Earl realized he had been away from the soldiers' "sight" for too long, so long that they had forgotten his temperament.
Just as the Earl was preparing to remind the soldiers before him—
"War declared!"
A voice of war declaration rang out from the crowd.
Soon after, more voices followed.
"War declared! War declared!"
