On the Southern Continent, Cain was starting to get news of the state of the army that had been threatening their allies.
The size that they had been quoted, roughly ten thousand soldiers, was seemingly correct, but the army was behaving in a way that none of the captured scouts had expected. It had split into four groups, targeting four different cities at the same time.
Cain suspected that he was the cause of this. If they split their forces, it was only logical that he could only face one section at a time, and they could capture three cities and then come to surround him with the main force.
It was a great idea, but it severely underestimated both the abilities of the Darklight Host and Cain himself.
