บท 289: Vanguard ( Part 2 )

In truth, although Ace had a hunch that the incoming asteroid was just camouflage, he was still hoping that it was just a normal celestial body. 

He didn't hope that it was truly an army sent by the empire. After all, he still has a lot of things to do. He was even unaware of Wallace's current situation on the northern continent. 

Sigh~

"I have to deal with this alone... I can't coordinate with the magicians here yet... It's too early."

Ace didn't think that the incoming troops were from the Federation as it was not their style to use an asteroid as a cover. He was sure that it was from the enemy. 

Luckily, considering the size of the celestial body, the army that has been sent were surely few in numbers. 

Normally these vanguards being sent for an away mission would have 5-10 years before sending their reports back to the empire. 

"But if they have sent a vanguard here... It's definitely not a coincidence. Did they found another Cube of Paradox?"
