Salute To The General

With that, Max turned to regard his allies and subordinates with a riotous roar, "Who is there amongst you with the guts to step into the fray and kill this fool for me?"

"Left General to Lord Ashuras of Xyperia, Soma."

"Right General to Lord Ashuras of Xyperia, Kali."

"We shall challenge you at the same time."

Soma and Kali trained under the same master in their youth and, later on, signed on with the military together. When they served under the banner of Xyperia, they had always gone into battle side by side.

Hence, the duo had developed tremendous chemistry over time, enhancing each other's fighting prowess whenever they joined forces.

While denizens of Eurasia considered themselves the descendants of the Dragon, those of Xyperia thought themselves the descendants of the Elephant.

Xyperia, as a nation, had always regarded Eurasia as a hated rival, and this sentiment was especially prevalent among members of the former's military; each and every one of them dreamt of the day that they may represent their country in the defeat of Eurasia.
