Prelude to the war!
The Radiant Empire had finished their preparations for war. One cloudy morning, the Duke of the Tulip Family led fifty thousand fully equipped Lightning God’s Whip soldiers together with twenty thousand garrison soldiers, who were escorting supplies, to the North.
The North had already been classified as a war zone. A Northern Command Center had been established. Two veteran generals from the Command Center were sent to the front while the Duke of the Tulip Family was appointed as the Supreme Commander of the war zone. At the northern war zone, even the Northern Legion was subject to the command of the Duke of the Tulip Family.
And so, the war began.
As everybody was waiting for the news to arrive from the North, the North was surprisingly quiet.
Although the coalition forces of the dozen kingdoms on the Northern Continent had prepared to cross the ocean, they had not moved.
