The northern provinces buzzed with tension. Rival princes had finally escalated from subtle schemes to coordinated attacks—mercenary units, rebel factions, and disloyal governors acted simultaneously, testing Frostwind's defenses on multiple fronts.
Kael reported gravely,
"My lord, this is the most extensive attempt yet. They intend to stretch our forces thin and force mistakes. Provinces may falter if we do not act decisively."
Arin's eyes gleamed with resolve.
"Then we act. Frostwind's strength lies not just in arms, but in loyalty, trust, and coordination. Candidates, lead squads across these fronts. Timing, foresight, and courage will decide this battle."
Elara, Mira, and Seren prepared their squads. Elara focused on northern villages, Mira on central passes and communication lines, and Seren on eastern ridges where morale and enemy interception were critical.
