The news about Nerva had only recently reached the city of Eclanor, and already the council was preparing for war. Throwing resources at Meimei to create more unique weapons, Melenai was trying to form an army in her kingdom with the help of Maria's group. In terms of battle prowess, even Frazer was being helpful, along with Josare and Kumi, both of whom used to be his travel companions.
And with Hilma joining the ranks as an instructor, the operation to form an army seemed to be going smoothly. Except, of course, Flitza of all people was trying to draw near perfection from what were just until recently mere civilians.
Casting an illusion of horrors, Maria helped with her magic, and Ophelia with her commander-like strategic prowess. Amelia, on the other hand, had busied herself with other political duties alongside Melenai. As for the spirit possessing an automaton, Hayley, she was simply trying to keep the soldiers from dying from Flitza's extreme practices.
