Alexander: "According to collected intelligence, the Dawn Continent, where I am located, has already been occupied by that evil being. This continent is teeming with evil races."
Leonidas: "Dawn Continent? Are you sure it's not Chaos Continent? That name, no matter how you look at it, doesn't match the environment you're describing!"
Alexander: "Chaos Continent is another landmass, dominated by the Emerald Dream Realm's native demigod races."
Alexander: "Leonidas, the situation on your Dusk Continent is relatively better; the evil and native factions each occupy half."
Alexander: "Your invasion of the dark and evil side, with the other side not sending aid, is the best possible scenario."
There was a hint of sourness in Alexander's words. If his and Isabella's start was difficult mode, then Leonidas and Orion's was simple mode.
Different modes would certainly lead to different progress and rewards.
