Broken Rock Empire.
Southern Province, Blood Raven Castle.
The council hall of the newly conquered castle.
Towering pillars support the vaulted ceiling, and a huge tactical map is spread across the heavy oak long table, with flags of three different colors — red, blue, and gray — inserted in it.
The commander-in-chief of the Broken Rock Empire's coalition forces, lifetime honorary Marquis, Leon Golden Blade stands in front of the map, contentedly observing the battle situation,
"Blood Raven Castle, Stone Spear Valley, Hammer Ridge, and Birch Town have all been captured."
As he spoke, Leon took down the red flags representing places still engaged in battle and replaced them with blue flags.
"The progress is smoother than expected!"
Leon turned his head to look at the side seat of the wooden table.
A man in a black robe sat at the side seat, leisurely sipping a cup of milk.
