After a week of invading and capturing the harbors along the northern coast, Hrothgar and Sebastian were making preparations for the two incoming armies.
They didn't know how, but a nearby kingdom had learned about the invasion, prompting them to alert the empires and other kingdoms. Obviously, the empires didn't care much as they were only concerned about protecting the harbors that prevent demons from invading.
"Sebastian! This may be too much to ask, but are you willing to flank the enemy from behind? You're the only one I can count on to complete this task." Hrothgar said.
"Do you realize what you're saying? I mean, I could do it but that depends on the ranks within the army. There are certain limits that even I can't surpass." Sebastian replied.
"How about an A-Rank crystal? That should be able to get you to C-Rank, if not Mid C-Rank." Hrothgar said, pulling out high quality A-Rank crystals from behind his back.
