The grand hall of the Kokoro Heart Federation buzzed with tension as the high councils of Kokoro Heart Federation and Yuki no Mura Capital City convened. The agenda was clear: dispatch groups of warriors to neighboring regions, not only to offer aid but also to spread word of our good deeds. By doing so, we aimed to secure new alliances, expand our influence, and protect vulnerable lands.
Seated around the ornate table were the influential members of the high council, alongside Kokoro, Grandma Haruko, Kazuki, and myself. As the commander of the elite warriors, my responsibility extended beyond our federation's borders, encompassing the protection of our capital and allied territories. Yet, a pressing concern loomed over the meeting: two strategically vital regions required immediate intervention.
