The Order of the Flaming Rose didn't just attack the Royal Academy; they'd also attacked the other academies and several key locations throughout the entire Vermilion Kingdom.
Awakened were slaughtered and crushed like ants, their blood splattering the streets of the Vermilion Kingdom. Fortunately for the citizens, the king placed his revenge plans on hold and quickly deployed the kingdom's military to fight against the intruders.
Even the nobles, who normally relished their rivalries and power struggles, knew that without a kingdom, their wealth and status meant nothing. They mobilized their personal forces, sending knights, mercenaries, and even some of their own family members into battle. But no matter how many reinforcements they sent, the Order of the Flaming Rose was like an unstoppable storm.
