“It won’t happen!” Santiago declared confidently. “With the legendary Dawnbringer holding the line, Chanaea’s soldiers are invincible, capable of overcoming any obstacle!”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be heading to the battlefield right now, Santiago!” Yorick, who was accompanying him to Tocvale, spoke those words beside him.

“Haha, you say you wouldn’t go, yet here you are, marching alongside me!” Santiago laughed heartily.

“I’m not like you!” Yorick replied seriously. “I’m going to the battlefield because I refuse to live as a lowly nobody. I want to make a name for myself–I want to achieve glory and fame! And I want to support my boss in becoming president so the entire nation will know my name!”

“President? Haha… Santiago laughed, clapping Yorick on the shoulder. “Alright then, no matter what your goals are, since we share the same dream right now, let’s see which one of us can achieve fame first and carry on the Dawnbringer’s banner!”

Everyone knew that when the Dawnbringer slew the Ten Saints several years ago, although he emerged victorious, he suffered severe internal injuries that had yet to fully heal. Moreover, age was catching up to him, and Chanaea needed a new generation to step forward, take up his mantle, and uphold the nation’s status as a global power.

What neither Santiago nor Yorick expected was that the war that year would later be known as the Chanaea- Vanara Reprisal. Though Chanaea ultimately defended its homeland, the cost was steep. During one pivotal battle, the Dawnbringer fell into an ambush and was attacked by a mysterious master. By the time the main forces arrived to reinforce him, it was too late to save him.
