In a magical world equipped with communication devices, news spreads instantly.
Some newspapers in the human territory reported how the imperial army had successfully thwarted a surprise attack by two enemy military units, which were easily repelled, inflicting heavy casualties on the army of the Presial Kingdom.
It was daytime at the Imperial military camp; the previous night, the Superior Commander had taken it upon himself to inform Minister of State Gerard Retriev of what had happened.
By that time, nearly 5,000 soldiers led by 10 Golden Paladins had already set out from the Imperial capital.
The Temple of the Endless Sky had also sent nearly 500 priests to provide whatever support was needed to the troops wounded in the previous battle.
...
"Your Majesty, we have already sent ten paladins to cover the retreat of those affected by that demon's spell," Minister Gerard told the Emperor.
