Control

Derrick's plan had been simple : send his army and conquer.

The risks had been high due to the presence of vicious beasts, but he believed they could be handled with their new gear.

On top of this, Eloise's training regimen had been merciless, with the soldiers' cowardice now a thing of the past. They were fundamentally different from three months ago, with their discipline not paling anymore when compared to the Empires' armies.

The risks had also been mitigated by the presence of Thomas, a Berserker who had polished his skills and improved his control.

With Derrick's guidance, he became able to transform at will while focusing his aggression.

On top of all these layers of caution, the necromancer had also inspected the surroundings before coming to the conclusion that nothing was dangerous enough to make him personally engage.
