The Guardian's Sword

Sean glanced expressionlessly at Shania and then this mischievous girl
immediately shut her mouth obediently.

After dinner, Sean returned to his room. Zander followed him, perhaps to report
something, and Sean had some questions for him as well.

Sean had been away from the mayor's residence all day today, and who knew if
anything bad had happened here after he left?

"Commander..." Zander said as he approached Sean.

"Have a seat,” Sean said as he pulled over a chair.

Zander did not refuse and sat down on the chair. He then began to report his
observations to Sean in detail.

"Commander, after my observations these past few days, I found that the
residents of Crosac are generally friendly towards Dorodo, especially towards the
people from Dragon Kingdom. However, there're also some unfriendly ones,
mostly the native residents of the alliance, particularly the several big families of
Crosac."

"The several big families of Crosac harbor some hostility towards Dorodo, and
among them, the Kaygene family has the most hostility towards Dorodo."
Hearing this, Sean frowned slightly.

The Kaygene family?

Rapido was the young master of the Kaygene family.

It seemed that Rapido's hostility towards him after meeting him today was not
just because he saw him as a love rival, but also because of the influence of the
Kaygene family.

"What about the military?" Sean asked.

Zander immediately replied, "The attitudes of Crosac's city defense army,
Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment, and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment towards
Dorodo are not the same. Crosac's city defense army tends to be friendly, while
Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment are slightly
cold and even hostile.”

Of course it was.

Although Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment
were not part of Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment as a whole, all three
mercenary regiments belonged to Crosac.

Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment was wiped out by the city defense army
of Dorodo. Therefore, it would be strange if Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and
Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment did not have a favorable attitude towards Dorodo
City.

"Okay, I understand..." Sean nodded.

The purpose of the diplomatic convoy's visit to Crosac this time was two. First, it
was to eliminate the impact and misunderstandings caused by the previous war
and to ease the relationship between the cities of Dorodo and Crosac.

Second, it was to observe the attitude of Crosac towards Dorodo and to make
preparations accordingly.

Now it seemed that the situation was very complicated.

"You've worked hard, Zander. Leave the rest to me, and you don't have to worry
about it," Sean said with a smile.

Zander thought for a moment and asked, "Commander, will there be a war
between Dorodo and Crosac?"

"It's still unclear. The situation is uncertain, but I'll try to avoid it as much as
possible. After all, the cost of war is too high," Sean sighed.

Zander also felt the same way when he heard Sean's words.

The cost of the war was undoubtedly huge. Even if they won the battle, the cost
will still be very high.

Zander had followed Sean in over a hundred battles, all of which were victories.
Even in victory, however, he felt sorrow as he watched his comrades fall one by
one in a pool of blood and die in the trenches, each of whom he trusted and
valued.

"Alright, go rest. If there's anything, I'll notify you immediately,” Sean said with a
smile.

Zander nodded and then turned and left.
