The man stood to his feet and walked to the center of the court, he bowed his head before he spoke. "The enemies are moving closer to Arvenia, your Majesty. All our attempts to stop them have proven futile."
The council erupted in short gasps and some of the councilmen started murmuring amongst themselves.
"We are currently deploying more soldiers and dragon knights from the other kingdoms, but I am afraid that that may not stop them," he continued, with his eyes glued to the ground.
"And my lord, the assistant commander was killed in the last attack, his body is being escorted home as we speak."
