"Earl Fishbone... his entire army was annihilated?"
"Not just that, even Stuttgart has become a Ghost City, not a single soul survived."
In Falcon Castle, the Nobles who were attending the family meeting fell silent.
Some were struggling to digest this sudden and unexpected news, while many more had plunged into a state of complete bewilderment and disarray, their minds a blank.
At first, when everyone learned that Lutlingen and Meqinggen had been occupied, there was a collective sigh of relief.
After all, Hexingen Town was way too close to Falcon Castle. Having the warfront set up here felt like having Swords hung over their necks, which was unbearably uncomfortable.
The occupation of the two towns gave the Falcon Family their first sufficient strategic depth, no longer needing to worry about the looming threat of Earl Fishbone's army launching a "bombing the headquarters" assault.
