While Cain's elites fought in Calypso's land, Scarlet Prima Deities and Divine Cultivators had quietly infiltrated the StormForge Continent, a land bordering the Purity Continent and the ruined Radiant Soul, and the southern ocean. By the time the Imperium realized, the Scarlet Formation was already alive there, runes glowing across earth and sky.
The move cut off the Imperium's southern retreat.
Azazel and his ArchDeities found it puzzling. True, StormForge sealed their southern exit, but armies could always march across oceans if necessary. Why expend so much effort for so little gain?
They could not shake the thought: Cain's hand concealed something deeper.
But war allows no time for contemplation.
