64: War Begins

Chapter 64: War Begins

As the divisions gathered in the war room, the atmosphere was tense. Maps of the battlefield were spread out across the table, with captains discussing strategies and preparing their troops for the coming battle. The stakes were high, and everyone knew the odds were against them.

Princess **Akane** approached **Captain Elara** quietly but with a firm resolve.

**Akane**: (determined) "I want to be at the front of the army. I can't just sit back and watch while everyone else fights."

Elara frowned, knowing the risks. She understood Akane's courage, but the princess was too important to lose in such a reckless manner.

**Elara**: (serious) "Akane, you know I can't let you do that. It's too dangerous. You're needed here."

But Elara also knew Akane too well. If she rejected the request outright, the princess would still go to the front lines. Elara sighed and finally turned to her trusted lieutenant.

**Elara**: (softly) "Synoh, I need you to look after her. Make sure she doesn't do anything too reckless."

Synoh, ever loyal and composed, nodded without hesitation.

**Synoh**: "I'll make sure she stays safe."

As the preparations continued, the doors to the war room opened, and **Mynstar**, the renowned spear prodigy and the "New Hero of Spear," entered with confidence. His presence alone commanded respect, and he spoke with the authority of someone who had earned his place in battle.

**Mynstar**: (boldly) "I will lead the Lathunia army into battle. Our forces may be outnumbered, but with the right strategy, we can hold them off. Trust me."

The captains exchanged looks, and the room filled with murmurs of agreement. Mynstar had proven his worth in previous skirmishes, and his leadership was exactly what they needed to rally the soldiers.

However, the challenge before them was daunting. The first wave of the demon army vastly outnumbered their forces—by tenfold. And worse, this wave was led by the **Death Knight**, one of the most feared commanders in the Undead King's army. His mere presence sent chills through even the bravest of soldiers.

The captains knew what they were up against. With the Death Knight leading the charge, the battlefield would be a bloodbath. But there was no turning back now.

**Captain Elara**: (confidently) "We stand strong. Lathunia will not fall today."

With that, all of the divisions solidified their plans and prepared to march. As the sun began to rise on the day of the battle, the army of Lathunia gathered behind their captains. The soldiers looked towards Mynstar, their new hero, and the division leaders who stood tall despite the overwhelming odds.

At the front of the army, Princess Akane took her place beside Synoh. Elara's eyes were on them from a distance, ensuring that her promise to protect Akane would be fulfilled. Behind them, the knights of Division 10 were ready, their armor gleaming in the morning light.

As the first wave of demons appeared on the horizon, the sound of clashing steel and roars echoed across the battlefield. The war for Lathunia had begun, and the odds were against them. But with Mynstar leading the charge and the divisions united, hope remained alive amidst the chaos.
