The merchant guilds wanted to profit from the price differences created by the tax-offset system, so they began frantically transporting all kinds of supplies to John.
For a time, John found himself overflowing with materials.
He was no longer short of anything.
As for occupying two cities of the Lather Kingdom, John had already anticipated this outcome.
But he was never the kind of person who would sit around passively and wait for the enemy to retaliate.
His next siege plan had already been prepared.
John publicly announced that he was declaring war on the Lather Kingdom.
His next target would be Radiant Moon City, one of the three most important cities in the kingdom.
He even declared that ten percent of his medium-sized warships would sail toward Radiant Moon City.
The announcement immediately threw the entire Lather Kingdom into panic.
Large numbers of Naval Corps forces set out at once, heading toward Radiant Moon City to reinforce its defenses.
