Meanwhile, back at the now conquered city of Langford...
Nobuharu breathed heavily with a deep frown on his face as Magus turned back, heading back to the tent: "My offer for you to join my empire's forces is still open, if you are still interested." But know that as far as Maria Watanabe and those totems are concerned, you are either with me or against me. "I will be expecting a response from you tomorrow morning," Magus said to him right before getting back into the tent.
Then he said to the both of them, "Our plan goes as instructed; nothing has changed." But if you want to hear anything new, it will be a word of advice: "Fear the Emperor; he is far more powerful than you believe."
Kohana and Drey stared at each other as they too began to feel the same fear Nobuharu was now having for the Emperor. This little confrontation had just shown Nobuharu just how powerful indeed Magus was.
"Is this it?" ", asked Drey.
"What do you mean?" asked Nobuharu.
