"Our team has been dispatched to Stardale, located in the east," the emerald-eyed young lady began. "It's a stronghold city bordering the Murky Mountains and is currently under attack from the beast tide."

"What about the orcs?" Adam asked solemnly.

If the magical beasts which already numbered in the tens of thousands were the first wave, then what would happen when the orcs' main army joined the war? Just based on this, they could tell that the war would go on for a long time and it would be brutal.
