Chương 2818: Wayfinder (Part 2)

"Not to mention that the presence of a Divine Beast alone will be deterrent enough to keep most meddlers away." The Empress said.

"I see." Lith nodded while racking his brain to find a way out. "I would love to help but sadly, I can't leave my daughter's side even for just a few hours, let alone days. If I were to bring Elysia along, Kami… I mean, Lady Verhen would follow.

"I can't protect her and the Wayfinder at the same time. My focus would be split and we all know who I would prioritize."

"That's the reason we are not sending you alone." Queen Sylpha said. "The Kingdom, the Empire, and the Council are sending members of their elite units to support you.

"This is an unprecedented endeavor that will benefit us all. We will all do our part."

"Define elite, please." Lith crossed his arms, trying to keep his tone neutral.
