No sooner had the banking matter been dealt with than Hudson's attention shifted to the Beastfolk. The location of the Sacred Land of Inheritance could not be determined, but Beastfolk tribes were easy enough to find.
The kingdom's experts had already secretly entered Snow Moon Territory and were waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Those who fell behind got beaten. Without Holy Domain experts to support them, the Orc Empire was already at a strategic disadvantage.
Given the Beastfolk's reserves, setting traps in advance to kill one or two Holy Domain experts was no problem. But against four, five, six, seven, or eight Holy Domain experts, it would be utterly meaningless.
As it happened, the Alpha Kingdom had gathered eight Holy Domain experts. Their own people alone were certainly not enough, but adding their allies' people did the trick.
Each of the four allied powers had sent one Holy Domain expert to help. Together with the kingdom's two Holy Domain experts and Hudson's Dragon-Bear Combination, they made eight Holy Domains.
If the Beastfolk's Sacred Land of Inheritance was exposed, it would immediately suffer a thunderous strike from eight top experts.
