Three weeks passed since Jacob and Hallberg's conversation.
Many things have changed in these past three weeks, and the changes occurred in the Dark Being Army!
The biggest change was the once fully organized army of millions was now no longer organized as they were all scattered throughout the magic beast forest. The second change was the army was no longer marching forward. Instead, they seemed to be too occupied by something else.
The final change was all the high-ranking commanders of extraordinary ranks, once numbered over 100,000, were not shaved down to a measly little over 5,000, and right now, all of them were reinstated from their previous posts of commanding low-ranking dark beings.
This was the sole reason for the army to be scattered, as they were without a proper commander.
As for the Lich King, who once seemed valiant and without any fear moving toward the Dark City, he was the one who summoned all the Extraordinary Dark Beings for his own protection.
