"The Alcott Empire?!"
The ones who reacted most strongly to his words were those in leadership positions—Beatrix and Eve.
"The empire is moving again...?" Arianne frowned at this news. "But why now? Shouldn't they be preoccupied with the zombies themselves?"
Axel shook his head at her murmurs, dismissing her concerns.
"The empire doesn't seem troubled by zombies from my investigation," he sighed. "There are hundreds of thousands of people living peacefully in their capital city."
When did Axel conduct his investigation?
Technically, it wasn't him but rather Navi and Mimir who checked on the empire.
It was back when they were en route to the last major fortress that he sensed something was amiss and sent the two spirits to investigate. The time that they went missing for two whole days.
They didn't just check the empire; they also monitored every major force nearby. But other than the empire, the rest showed no signs of movement at all.
