Unexpectedly, the other three Gods of Warrior also set out furtively and appeared in the waters of Daragon Island alongside him. Colin has led our troops to battle the Four Gods of Warrior of the Jetroinian Navy successively. While they've cut down a lot of the enemy, they also suffered heavy losses because they're outnumbered. It's said that General Dunne is severely injured, but he's still fighting to the death.
