[Timeline: Day 4 Post-Invasion]
[Location: The Dwarven Kingdom – King Durin's War Room]
The holographic map hovering above the obsidian table was bathed in red light.
"Fuck! What is going on in the world!"
"This is worse than a manhunt," King Durin grumbled, slamming his fist onto the table. "It's a downright invasion."
The Dwarven King looked tired. He hadn't slept since the portal opened in his forge.
Around the table stood the remnants of Zero's faction: Prince Hephaestus, Alfred, the Valkyries, and the students of Class F.
Durin pointed to the map. Massive red arrows were sweeping out from the Central Empire, pushing into the neutral territories.
"The Emperor is using Zero's attack as a Casus Belli," Durin explained.
"He claims the Academy was a breeding ground for non-human terrorism. He has mobilised ancient Titan Legions, similar to the ones we're building here."
"He intends to occupy the Beast Lands and the Silver Woods under the guise of 'security'."
