After a long silence, the Empire's soldiers erupted in fervent cheers, while the soldiers stationed at Esengard felt a ringing in their ears, terrified.
"Oh god..."
"By Amanata, how, how is this possible?"
"Count Hain was eaten? He, he was favored by the Sun God, how could this happen!"
"Is that evil dragon— the Ashen Emperor? God, I've seen that image, it's really him!"
They looked up at the giant dragon that blotted out the sun, watching the sky suddenly darken, feeling an unprecedented despair.
Though the Ashen Empire's army was overwhelmingly strong, it was still one that mortals could defeat, as long as they had enough courage and made enough sacrifices.
But what about the giant dragon in the sky?
It swallowed Count Hain, who had received Amanata's blessing, swallowed their common sun, and devoured their last hope!
