At the Zarethorne Empire's border, the Soldiers of the Velkarin Empire surged out of their hideouts after the various explosions stopped.
"FOR OUR FALLEN EMPRESS!!! FOR OUR EMPIRE!!!"
They surged into the Frontiers and Outposts like ants drawn to sugar, their speed swift and their eyes filled with nothing but pure rage and vengeance. They wanted the Zarethorne Empire to bleed for making a move against their Empress; they wanted the entire Zarethorne Empire wiped out.
Some of the Soldiers were particularly eager. They had been in hiding for an entire month, doing nothing but eating, sleeping, having sex, and then training before repeating the cycle.
These Soldiers were from the Military Force, so they had been trained from the day they joined the Military to die for their Empire, to understand that the Empire stood above everything and everyone.
Their enthusiasm, eagerness, desire for revenge, and bloodlust were simply products of that conditioning.
