The chaotic situation on the Continent of Aslante was overwhelming. Various disarrayed powers seemed to have agreed in advance to cause trouble together.
The Alpha Kingdom was at peace, all thanks to the impending threat of the big boss, the Orc Empire.
For the major human factions, having a gatekeeper like the Alpha Kingdom was necessary.
Even the clergy who wished to stir up strife only intended to incite disputes to benefit themselves.
No one was foolish enough to bring about the immediate downfall of the Alpha Kingdom.
Without this powerful gatekeeper, if the orcs march straight in, it could threaten the supremacy of the human race on the continent.
To other races, humans were no good, but orcs were even more detestable.
The Orc Empire, comprising numerous races, wasn't naturally formed, but was a result of an alliance of five rogue species that had gone around conquering others.
