Though Aldric remained silent, the man could feel the gazes of all the nearby soldiers within earshot turn towards him.

"You are soldiers obligated to defend your nation, and you have orders to do so as well. I understand that.

The man spoke with a wry smile and hearing that last line, Governor Doulton remembered the GEE Emperor's speech where he had stated that they had the support of current generation Heroes.

'Those Heroes are all just children! What do they know about war!'

'I wonder what is it that he has to discuss with His Majesty?'
