BANG!
In a room filled with Heroes, one had just gotten up from the table where he had been seated at before banging his fist down on it had and speaking in the tone of one who was completely and outrageously baffled.
"How can it even be so sudden? And so ahead of schedule? This is a war, dammit! It's not a small skirmish that they can plan at any time to deploy at will! How the hell did this escape all of our intelligence sources?"
He was directly followed by another one for a different table, but the same outrage was present in this one's tone, too.
"Yes! Fine, we have only a single informer in the Mainland, but even if he wasn't reliable, haven't we spent centuries building up defense after defense all over the damn Endless Sea? Aren't they the reason we've had to be so economic in how we spend resources? How the f*ck did they all fail?!"
Hearing these two, more and more started to get up, and they all had the same questions.
