When the Hell Gate's open

"What do you need of them?" The king asked with a worried face.

"I need Noel to lead the combined army of Furberg and Ourals, Sara will help my wife Marina in managing the resources we have," Cain explained with a straight face.

"A full-on war?"

"Not quite right, our enemies' numbers won't be that high. It's just that the damage to the immediate area would be high. We're facing an immortal black dracolich necromancer who has been sucking power from hell."

"That's quite a long description."

"It wouldn't matter, I'm more of an experienced necromancer than she could ever hope to be." Cain smiled.
