The entire battalion of enemies converged to surround Core and Voron in front of the research facility, as well as prince Zane, who came rushing outside after them.
"My my, this is an unpleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting the entire Orthlysian army, along with 2 generals of Crypt to gang up on me," Core shrugged playfully as Zane reacted to his words.
"Orthlysian army..? You don't mean…"

"Cease your baseless accusations! My father would never do something like this!" He claimed, defending his father and his homeland.
"Is it really baseless though? They did the same thing 6 years ago, and don't tell me you don't recognize some of these soldiers in the crowd," Core pointed out, to which Zane twitched, the acceptance finally dawning on him.
