The caves in the southern region of Lysanthia weren't the only place riddled with hibernating monsters. After Sera overrode the command of the activation magic circle, Alec's troops found several new sites with the same setup. Hundreds of monsters were waiting to be deployed to attack Lysanthia, which bothered not only Alec but the Old Duke as well. If it hadn't been for Sera's intervention, they knew that if the church deployed a massive attack, they wouldn't be able to contain the monsters for too long.
"Are you sure this is the best we can do to mitigate the problem?" Alec asked as he reviewed the map of the location of the monsters with Sera and their grandfather.
"Well, it's not like we can expose them. They would surely accuse us of using the monsters to harm the church instead. I'm curious, though, how long have they been sneaking into our territory?" Sera answered nonchalantly.
