Bab 1417: Dire Situation [3]

Damien's current destination was the border principality, Aeria. The Aeria Principality was one of the first to fall into a state of chaos when the Divine Order started openly moving against Void Palace.

It was a point of interest, so they focused many of their forces there and slowly took territory after territory until Aeria was surrounded by enemy forces on all sides.

There was a reason 12 Elders were stationed there.

Aeria was the location of one of the Southern Region's greatest traveler's hubs. It was a place most people would pass through if they were entering the south from the west, including members of Void Palace.

The timing was terrible.

Originally, there were only three elders stationed in Aeria. They were heads of commerce and had been staying in the city to facilitate trade agreements between Void Palace, the Dragon Clan, and the Holy Empire.

However, in recent times, a few more had gone to join them.
