After having his meeting with Diane and Sylphie, he immediately returned to work. The news he received was absolutely phenomenal and left him with many questions, the biggest being why Diane was insistent on telling Hinotori and not Sylphie herself.

“General, the south is about to collapse.”, a shadow rat delivered the news to Reiman from behind.
“General, Ulva and Arisu encountered a group of assailants on their way back from the mission you gave them.”
“General, the Tyrant of the South, Zana is requesting back up. The North has been relentlessly attacking them.”
What? What did they mean by the North had been relentlessly attacking them? Sure, Reiman had his suspicions that the North didn’t attack the West with all their power, but for the North and East to tag team against the South? That wasn’t in his calculations.
