All the other participants of this virtual meeting stared at him even as Professor Adams stared back at them. "If you recall, I said earlier in the meeting that I spoke with the king".
"He gave me updates on the war situation and it is not looking pretty".
"We already had 6 months to prepare but our days are now numbered".
"The Teodor army is already mobilizing".
"In a month, at most 2 months, the King expects their massively scaled army to arrive at our doorsteps beating the drums of war".
"And this time, you all already heard wisps and rumors of how much bigger and more powerful their army would be". Professor Adams' face was serious. "This is why we need to accelerate our plans".
"This is why we need to choose favorites among the cadets with the best potential to focus on and increase their chances of embracing the extraordinary".
