Reorganizing troops in the face of a universal threat was no easy endeavor, and the same went for arranging a meeting among existences that defied reason.
Luckily for Rodney, he was a new General with relatively limited power. His force only accounted for the few criminals he had managed to gather and arm on the spot, and many had also died when the experimental fuel ultimately lost to the True Chaos.
Moreover, Rodney wasn't the only General on the scene. His feats during the battle had been exemplary, but the news had yet to spread, so his peers and superiors took care of the more time-consuming matters, freeing him earlier than expected.
Of course, a person in Rodney's position was never truly free. His many machinations, both political and not, could keep him busy for years. Even if the interspecies meeting had yet to happen, he could prepare for countless situations, but something else ended up claiming his thoughts.
