News travelled fast , the news of the Emperor ascending to tier 5 and calling war on two kingdoms at once spread to every corner of the continent.
Bells of war were ringing and a arms race quickly started in the region , as prices of weapons , Armour and ration started to skyrocket.
Armies were raised and border patroll was increased. Merchants were asked to return to homeland as soon as possible. Villages in the border regions started to feel uneasy , as they became ready to be mobile and abandon village at a moment's notice.
Back at Hazelgroove kingdom , Rudra was introduced to the other five lieutenants by Patricia , all being at the tier 3 stage except him. Naturally some looked down on him , but did not voice this opinion out. As atleast on the surface , they were cordial.
