Emperor Valdek pushed through the gathered soldiers and advisors who were speaking in hushed, panicked tones, and took his seat at the head of the long wooden table inside the command tent.
His presence silenced the low murmurs, all eyes turning toward their enraged leader.
"Speak how did this happen?" Valdek commanded, his voice low and dangerous. Hw released his aura in his fury, the weight of it pressing upon everyone present with no exception.
"I want details. How did this happen, and who is responsible for leaking our plans?" The Emperor asked again, his eyes scanning the list of people present in the tent.
Another soldier, a captain who had delivered the grim news to the board of officials forced himself to stand up under the immense pressure he was currently feeling from the emperor, straightening his spine as he began to recount the events. "Your Majesty, approximately forty-five minutes ago, an enemy force appeared seemingly from nowhere."
