For Mountain Forest Town, the visit from the Iron Hoof Family's son was a highly unexpected event, and the news he brought was even more surprising.
"I'm not entirely clear on Count Wiggins's exact injuries."
Rognar shook his head. "This information came from our family's merchant guild. By the time Lord Wiggins returned to Wushan Castle, he was already at death's door. As for what happened after he entered Wushan Castle, all we know is that every knight of the First Knight Order sealed off the surrounding area. No news has come out from inside."
"However, including my father, many nobles of Wushan Territory will be setting out soon after receiving this news to visit Lord Wiggins and check on his condition."
