(One week later, Planet Tithia, Leo's POV)
Time seemed to move faster for Leo ever since his breakthrough into the Transcendent tier, as days blurred into nights filled with drills, briefings, and preparations, until at last the moment arrived for him to depart alongside Veyr and the Dragon Army to begin their campaign for Planet Nemo.
The news of the Su Clan's collapse had by now seeped into every corner of Cult territory, igniting a feverish anticipation among the common soldiers, who whispered eagerly of plunder and conquest as they sharpened their blades and polished their armor.
To them, this was not merely another military maneuver but an opportunity to claim a piece of the Su legacy for themselves, to take in blood and fire what once belonged to one of the greatest families in the righteous alliance.
Like Veyr, most of the Dragon Army viewed the battle ahead as little more than a formality, i.e. an easy march rather than a war, with casualties expected to be minimal.
