The person arranging the tactical deployment turned out to be Katherine, who had just arrived at the Conqueror Army. It wasn't that she was overshadowing others, but under such circumstances, the person ranked right after Gaven was Veranika. Normally, in the absence of Gaven, it should have been her calling such a wartime emergency meeting. However, her dual identity dictated that when the Lady Strategy, the first of the Chosen, was present, her opinions were to be heeded.
And once Katherine spoke up, there was no chance for anyone else to pitch in. Everyone wholeheartedly accepted her arrangements, for she was thoroughly familiar with the strengths and abilities of these officers in the Conqueror Army. The tasks she arranged were meticulous and comprehensive; they just needed to follow the plan.
"Lord, you're back. What just happened?"
"Where is Arms? Lord, did you finish him off completely?"
"Was that Arms' trap just now? Pulled the Lord into the Shadow Plane?"
