"Report!" The courier fell on one knee and declared that he had urgent news to report.
Alexander frowned but waved his hand in assent.
"A massive Orc and Undead army sighted outside of the City of Rin! Initial estimates number them at five hundred thousand!" The courier shouted with a trembling voice.
The ministers who were previously gasping in surprise over the news Alexander had broken to them now jumped up almost at the same time.
"What?!" Belroy shouted in shock.
"Silence." Alexander's voice cut through the panic like a hot knife through butter. "Get back to your seats. That army is destroyed."
Like a trained squad, everyone snapped their necks around to look at Alexander. He pointed coldly to their seats, and everyone sat back down obediently.
"Dismissed." Alexander waved the courier away.The courier saluted smartly and left the Royal Court.
