After learning of Korinth’s latest assault on Sangria, James rushed into the Southern Fortress and inquired about the war between the two countries.
He learned they had already been fighting for some time.
Sangria suffered very significant losses during the war.
They had been keeping the Korinthian Army at bay by relying on their country’s curse. The Korinthian Army did not dare to stay in Sangria for too long. If not for the curse, Sangria’s defenses would have been breached and destroyed by now.
He also learned that Korinth had dispatched tens of millions of soldiers to Yantargh Canyon.
On the other hand, Sangria had assembled 30,000,000 soldiers who planned to defend Sangria with their lives.
James was relieved after hearing Sangria had put together an army of 30,000,000. For the time being, Sangria would not be defeated.
However, he feared that Korinth would continue to dispatch more soldiers to bolster their army and attack Sangria with the entirety of their forces. Sangria would be unable to withstand their onslaught even with the curse working in their favor.
Although James wanted to intervene, he was still an outsider, and the war had nothing to do with him.
His goal was to return to Sangria, acquire information about the curse, and find out if it had something to do with the planet’s seal. Additionally, he wanted to know if there were any benefits if the curse was undone.
James entered a city on the border. In the past, it used to be a lively city. However, the bustling streets were now deserted. The few people that remained on the streets were occupied with evacuating the country.
He headed into a grocery store.
The owner of the store was a middle-aged woman. She was cleaning up her storeas she prepared to evacuate as well.
James asked, “Maam, could I buy a map?”
The owner replied hurriedly, “It’s on the shelf. Help yourself to it.”
Maps were not particularly valuable, so the owner did not plan to take them with her.
James found a map on the shelf before him and inspected it. Then, he asked, “How much is it?”
“You can have it for free.”
