Bab 488: CDLXXXVIII. Atran And Kron

"Of course, Commander. Our men obeyed without objecting, but... we have all wondered the reason behind this choice. I'm sure it has to do with a tactic against our enemies, but when confronted outside the walls of Tungvek, Kron and I both couldn't figure out what it is" Atran replied again, referring to his colleague, who hadn't said a word yet.

"Well, that was exactly the question I expected from you. I knew that you were two very intelligent and insightful men, that's why I summoned you here to introduce you in person to the warrior who will carry out the prophecy." 

"The prophecy?! That prophecy?!" Kron exclaimed, who had been silent until those words.

"Exactly, that of the Crystal of Fire and the other Crystals of the Elements. Dag?" Kranus replied, calling the attention of Dag, who had not lowered his guard for a moment, as soon as he was appointed, detached his axe from his belt and placed it on the table.
