Alfred Granious bellowed orders that rang out and they were hastily followed. They had won a battle not the war, and even that was disputable considering the grievous losses they'd sustained. He had been in the front lines of the invasion into province 13. They were supposed to flank the enemy army under illusions and end the battle in moments. Instead nearly all of his royal guard had been slaughtered by the sudden appearance of the heavy cavalry, only his personal unit surviving the encounter, causing the fight to instead be a terrible drawn out battle to the death with those zealots. Somehow the cavalry had slipped past the war magi with powerful magics of their own. The holy empire would be eliminated, Alfred would personally guarantee it.

Ariana signed off on the last of the orders for the day. Armies were needed to reinforce their newfound land and the lands of Dagrenas needed to be dealt with. If they were in the same disarray they were when diplomats had been sent they would simply be easy prey for the Great Shadow. Allies or Enemies, in-between was rapidly vanishing as an option. At least Duringis had been more than willing to ally with them, combine with their other friends a powerful alliance was quickly forming. However, if Dagrenas could not control their lands and wouldn't join the alliance someone would have to do it for them. Reports were the Pualirian Empire were almost overwhelmed by the Great Shadow already and would doubtless be planning one last ditch attack. Tempting as it would be to attack back, the fourth province would almost certainly be overwhelmed in the coming season and no invasion force could secure it in time. Already the Great Shadow was within striking range of the kingdom of Andinon and they weren't ready yet.
