Because of his captured vassal’s attack, this portion of the battlefield was at an impasse. The Empire’s side was decimated and the Kingdom’s side was in the middle of reorganization from the unexpected happening. The destruction was comparable to the alpha strike of the Level 4 generals. 2025-05-03 09:39:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Viers was hungry.
He had not eaten since yesterday morning. He fought a war then got captured by the enemy. His back, where they carved the magical circuit to enslave him, still bled... Now he must fight at the front line again against his former allies. In other words, the situation sucked...
