The time had already reached around seven in the evening.
Outside the main tent, hurried footsteps approached before Wulfric entered and greeted respectfully.
"Your Majesty. No cracks have appeared on the pillar yet."
"And there is still no sign of that flying artifact."
Alexander Phoenix immediately turned toward Magnus Phoenix.
"General Magnus?"
The Second Prince replied calmly. "Ten minutes ago, Kiara informed me through the communication talisman that she entered Prucell Province."
"She should arrive shortly."
The private communication talisman between them had originally been created merely to simplify weapon orders and logistics between the Imperial Palace and Nexus Weapon Store.
Yet now—
It had become the direct line connecting an Emperor's ambitions to a dangerous battlefield.
Alexander Phoenix nodded slowly before giving another order.
"Prepare to receive Kiara. And inform the Clan Leaders that I wish to discuss the next phase personally."
"Understood."
