War commenced at the sound of the horn.
It was like a replica of the previous battle at Raven City, with rapidly constructed catapults sending alchemical bombs streaking across the sky, and wizards applying multiple enchantments to allow the wind to carry the bombs even higher and farther.
The Scarlet Lady, Lena, stood amidst the undead army, the scene before her leaving her breathless and focused.
The long journey of the expedition had been arduous, and if it weren't for the daily tasks providing her with opportunities to exchange military merits, she believed she couldn't have persevered until now.
Even she felt a strange sensation about completing tasks and then using military merits to acquire the things she desired. This "shopping" feeling was addictive.
Sometimes she even bought things she didn't need, simply thinking that they might be useful one day, and she couldn't resist purchasing them.
Later, she would be tormented by regret for her wasteful behavior.
