LTBE - Chapter 439: The Decisive Battle

How long had it been since the Saint Mesit Theocracy last faced an internal war?

That was a question that Roel was surprisingly qualified to answer, considering he had been through the last one in person. He just thought that it was rather weird how history seemed to be repeating itself after two hundred years.
