Synopsis

The chapter details Joshua taking over leadership of the Free Knights Alliance, and Axuler, the new Mercenary Guild leader, acknowledging their dealings with the Crombell family and instituting major reforms with significant cost reductions. Meanwhile, Joshua becomes fixated on traveling to the Tryfia region due to personal reasons, despite warnings of a dragon, and an attack by Crombell loyalists on the Pontier estate leads to the death of the traitorous Baron Arna by Cheryl. This concludes the war, but it leaves Joshua handling remaining threats.
