When did he first notice that something was wrong?
Was it when, even an hour after the Elven Emperor and the Smith King had promised to send extra troops, no one had arrived? Or was it when one of the patrol squads he sent out began reporting in later than usual?
Whichever one it was, by the time Leoniel realised something was wrong, it was already late.
He tried to contact the Elven Emperor and the Smith King, however, while the calls went through, no one answered.
And it wasn't just them, not a single one of Evan's companions was responding to their calls, which was far from normal, especially considering the current situation.
Leoniel immediately leapt high into the air above the clouds, expanding his perception to scan the entirety of Hauhull and checking whether a barrier had been placed around the area to block communications.
