As the two squad leaders arrived at the gates of Vermont Academy, their eyes widened in astonishment and concern.
Before them, a group of floating Arcanists hovered ominously in the air, their numbers reaching a staggering three hundred or even more. The sight was deeply unsettling as the squad leaders realized the magnitude of the threat they faced.
But the danger extended far beyond the academy grounds. Casting their gaze toward the town and the dockyard, the squad leaders were met with a horrifying sight. The enemy forces had launched a coordinated attack, with over a thousand adversaries converging upon the vulnerable areas.
The town nearby was already on fire. The dockyard was also under attack and was currently being defended by another squad of the Order of the Evanescent Vessels. The steel factories and other buildings outside the Academy were also being broken down by the enemies.
