A commander of an army of the Maginev Empire was sneering while he was looking at the stronghold surrounded by a magic shield. Their sneak attack failed, but he believed their overwhelming attack would still crush the shield and the stronghold.
"Surround the stronghold. Wait for the declaration of war before attacking. Let us keep the formality of war hahahaha"
In the morning, the world was greeted by the shocking declaration of the Maginev Empire.
"Baynard usurped the kingdoms of Ru and Fran. They shamelessly cooperated with traitors within the royal court. The prince of Ru and Fran desperately begged our empire's help. For the sake of our long-term friendship with the two kingdoms, we granted their request! We hereby declare war on Baynard and liberate the people from the hands of an evil kingdom!"
