"Yes, Auntie," Liya chimed in, her expression serious. "Just now, some Demons disguised themselves as Northern Soldiers and tried to enter Kolon. If Levi hadn't been so cautious, it's hard to imagine the consequences if they'd made it inside the city."
Levi had already explained the whole situation to her on the way over.
The Lord shot Liya a grateful smile for helping him out, but the girl apparently misinterpreted it, flashing an even more radiant smile back at him.
Watching the two exchange flirty glances, Fulina pressed a hand to her throbbing temples. With such sudden, grave news, she was no longer in the mood for jokes. "Didn't I send Andao south to gather intelligence?" she asked in a solemn tone. "How could Demons reach Kolon City without us receiving any word?"
"In fact, this Demon Corps has already ambushed Count Andao's army," Levi said, his expression calm as he relayed the information he'd gathered. "I'm sorry... Count Andao's entire force has been wiped out."
