In less than 4 months, the border villages had fallen. It was terrifying the speed at which things fell apart.
The first village that fell was the main supplier of raw ores and crystals. While reserves existed, the nobles foolishly continued to burn through them for their pleasures until the Soulmancers reaped them.
It was only after reinforcements from Orwellia and Requera Empires were decimated by beasts that they all understood how well planned the attack was. Moon Tier aether beasts were normally very rigid in their territories until one got old or a challenger arose.
The very reason trade happened so steadily between the empires was due to that fact.
Now, it was as if there were 2 armies.
One of the beasts happily munching on soldiers and the other slowly swallowing Dar.
Deep in the capital, an ancient array lit up and Shi appeared. She had her hood pulled low but her rich dark robes were the best quality.
