After discussing the situation with Duke Lancelot for quite a while longer and exchanging a few final words regarding the current state of the war, Ethan finally prepared to depart alongside the troops under his command.
The Duke personally accompanied him toward one of the large military teleportation facilities that had been established within the duchy many years ago, and because the Empire was currently facing a national crisis, the entire area had become heavily fortified while hundreds of soldiers stood stationed around the perimeter and several powerful mages continuously monitored the formations to ensure everything operated smoothly.
The enormous teleportation gate glowed brightly with a deep blue light while countless ancient runes rotated slowly across its surface, and waves of magical energy spread from it continuously.
Duke Lancelot stood beside Ethan with his arms folded across his chest while observing the preparations calmly.
