The eyes of Grand Marshal Anglius and Chief Counselor Alonz sharpened as they heard their king's words. Without hesitation, they offered deep, respectful nods.
The Xaos King had earned their loyalty—not through bloodlines or empty titles, but through countless acts of bravery, wisdom, and selflessness. He had always fought for the good of the people, placing their survival and progress above all else. For both men, any lingering doubts vanished. If the Xaos King said war was necessary to protect Terra, they would follow him without question.
"Our first step should be to rally our troops and gather the best of the best," said Grand Marshal Anglius, his voice steady and confident. "I believe we can achieve this through strategic war games. Each dukedom can field its finest warriors, and from the data we gather, we'll select the elite soldiers and generals who will spearhead the invasion."
The idea immediately earned nods from both Vlad and Overlord.
