Overlord Drake silenced a round of incoming questions from the other officers. "Is it possible that some of you might have advanced since you were sent to the battlefield?"
Bob shrugged. "Not me, but I suppose that it's possible one of the clerics might have. The others are all still too new to their advancement, so it seems unlikely that they would have achieved the next rank."
Drake was looking more at Karl than anyone else.
Karl shook his head. "No, while my class is an oddity, and I might count as more than one Commander, I am not at the Royal Rank. Not even close. I was told that when I get close I will feel the bottleneck in my mental spaces, where I will have to adjust my technique, and they still have a long way to go before that."
The others nodded, but Tessa shrugged. "I have gained some favour from the War Goddess for my work, but I'm not certain if it is enough to qualify."
