"My lord, we received a message from…"
Ignatius' face turned grave upon hearing their words.
"If Atarkan has fallen, our people on Mount Tirad might have already perished…"
He had the same guess as they.
"We need to act immediately. If what you said is true, Harune's half a million troops should be heading towards Midgard."
"Yes, my lord. We will gather all the available troops and tell them to get ready."
Giovanni nodded solemnly and was about to leave when Ignatius suddenly stopped him.
"Hold on."
"Is there something else, my lord?" Giovanni furrowed his eyebrows.
"The warriors and aristocrats of Midgard might sense that something is going on if we do something this big. It's also possible that they are already aware of the situation." Ignatius spoke with a frown.
At this moment, more than a fourth of their warriors were still recovering from the recent battle so the troops weren't in their full force.
