118 065. New Fate -1 (Part Two)

**

On a night with only a lone moon to illuminate away the darkness.

A group of people were traversing the barren landscape on the backs of camels.

"Dammit, it's still so far away."

"Is that it? The Black Order's headquarters?"

These travellers currently stuck inside the harsh winds of sand were Necromancers covering their faces with balaclavas. When they shifted their gazes, they could see a huge temple in the far-off distance.

These men were spies sent by Aslan's leadership.

In order to invade the Theocratic Empire, Aslan employed a Lich named Nasus. The initial plan was to trap Oscal Baldur by stringing along the Imperial Prince and taking him hostage.

'...The problem is, Nasus's current whereabouts are unknown. Even all contacts to the Black Order have been severed.'

A month after Aslan's great army was dispatched to the border and got utterly annihilated, the Theocratic Empire's own troops began their earnest march on the kingdom's soil.
