"How long do we have?" Karyk asked.
"At best, two years. At worst, five months," Aliac replied. That's all the time we'll have.
"So, what do we do in the meantime?" Karyk asked, his voice filled with frustration. "We can't just sit back and wait for them to come. There must be something we can do to prepare ourselves."
Aliac nodded in agreement. "You're right. We can't afford to be idle. We must use this time wisely to gather allies, strengthen our defenses, and learn as much as we can about our enemy. Knowledge is our greatest weapon."
Karyk agreed with Aliac. If they fought in Elzeria, they were at their weakest without the support of any of this world's elements. And if they fought Elzerians here, then at least their people could use all they had to fight. Unfortunately, that also meant that it was too late to fall back.
