"Why the drama?" Alice asked, puzzled.
"Maybe because of what Matthew did in the Kingdom of Zimmermann? Did he hit them that hard?" Isla asked. That would be strange. Matthew's missions in these cases are usually brief, seeking a quick and effective conclusion within a few weeks.
It would be too difficult, even for him, to destroy the entire kingdom without taking troops with him and in such a short time.
That was something Isla understood very well, so after asking the question, she mentally dismissed it.
"I don't know the reasons; my information networks don't reach that far. But what I am sure of is that if we hold back the onslaught with all our strength, when the Pillars have to leave for that massive emergency call, the rest of their men will be left alone," Ava replied.
Sophia nodded. "Since they don't know we have that information, they're unlikely to take precautions against it, so it will be easier to wipe them out and take all their lands."
