Hal was naturally surprised and a bit angry that Ennya had been assigned to such a dangerous mission.
He could accept the assignment for himself, as this was a chance to earn Chaos Points.
Ennya, on the other hand, could train a bit more before being sent to such missions, no?
Hal couldn't help but worry for the not-so-bright midget.
In the end, he could only accept the arrangement, remembering it was the emperor's will.
He asked for more details, like why the empire doesn't just send a majority of the Magnas to wipe out the threat in the east and southeast once and for all.
As it turned out, the Imperium's hands were full in the northern seas, holding off the main Fellkin Legion.
Six of the Magna Novem were apparently tasked to fight there, and the oldest among them had been there for more than a decade now.
It appeared that the empire's show of might, stability, and peace was but an illusion portrayed to prevent panic.
