Storm King Regnar XI

"Looks like your secret's about to come out."

The moment Ethan stepped aboard the Tidebreaker Paxton, a Tier-4 battleship, Paxton's voice rang in his ears.

Ethan's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced toward the ship's command deck. "Oh? And why's that?"

Paxton gave a small chuckle before continuing. "Leopold's dead, sure, and yeah, it'll take some time for him to resurrect. But the regular units? They don't need nearly as long. Once Storm Kingdom brings them back, they'll spill everything they know."

Ethan paused for a beat, then shrugged, his tone casual. "You think they'll rat me out?"
