The Gathering of Forces

In the days that followed, Lena worked tirelessly to ensure every aspect of the upcoming mission was in place. She knew that time was running out, and the Rhytil would soon make their next move.

The Alliance began to mobilize. Fleets of ships, soldiers, and engineers were assigned to prepare for the strike against the Rhytil's stronghold. Lena's role was to coordinate the efforts, keeping an eye on both the big picture and the smallest details.

As the warships gathered in orbit, Lena found herself looking out at the fleet, a mixture of determination and unease tugging at her heart. This was her responsibility—she had promised to lead them through this conflict, to bring the Alliance together. But even with all the preparation, she couldn't shake the feeling that the Rhytil were always one step ahead.
