General Nix was not really happy about his current mission, while it seems like quite a honor being the head of the largest army ever formed on Shearath, he knew this was just an over glorified death sentence, it was just polished and wrapped neatly with the bow called duty and honor.
They foisted this job on him, because it was his ancestor who had created and used the spell that sealed the vampires away for ages. Which was why political propaganda has made it so, that Tiberius Nix, the illegitimate son of the current head of the Nix noble family, a son who was legitimized just five days ago, and then sent on a march to his death.
