"You say the second grand elder of the Yun clan will be attending this year's annual competition?" an officer exclaimed
He was seated in an office in the administration building at the firebird base.
"He is not the only one," said another voice in the room.
It was another officer.
He was the one who delivered the message.
He then proceeded to hand over several more letters to the officer who was seated.
"sword mountains Commander Nickson.."
Third grand elder of the Tang family
"Daggers Mercenary Company's Vice Leader"

"Why are all these powerful people coming for the yearly assessment?" the officer's frown deepened.
"There were several firebird bases scattered throughout the south of northern Wei; it was impossible for these powerful groups to attend all of the yearly assessment exams, so they usually avoided them entirely."
"For all of them to come here at the same time, there must be something going on," he thought.
