The people whom Ailin had forcibly made relocate were deeply afraid of him.
After all, in an era when firearms and artillery had yet to develop, someone like Ailin, who could cause such destruction with a casual wave of his hand, was no different from a god-demon in the eyes of the simple villagers.
