His gaze is fixed on the papers, his mind consumed with thoughts of the ongoing preparations in the Milea Kingdom. He knows that staying informed is crucial, and he has a powerful ally at his disposal to gather the information he seeks.


    Fein closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, focusing his thoughts on the shadow realm. With a flick of his wrist, a dark portal materializes in the air before him. From within the portal, a menacing figure emerges—a Chimera ant, the shadow lord that Fein has summoned.

    The Chimera ant''s voice is a sinister whisper, its wordsced with an otherworldly resonance. "The walls of the Milea Kingdom have been fortified under General Qin Mo''smand," it reveals, its voice dripping with an air of knowledge. "The soldiers have undergone rigorous training, focusing on closebat techniques and adapting to unpredictable scenarios."

    Fein nods, acknowledging the effectiveness of General Qin Mo''s training methods. He understands the importance of a well-prepared army in the face of impending danger.


    "Are there any weaknesses or vulnerabilities that the demons can exploit?" Fein asks, his voice filled with a cunning edge.

"The soldiers'' adaptability ismendable, but their reliance on traditional tactics and formations may leave them vulnerable to unconventional strategies," it responds, its tone analytical.

    With a slight bow, the Chimera ant retreats back into the shadow realm, vanishing as if it were never there. The office returns to its silent stillness, and Fein is left alone with his thoughts and the stack of papers on his desk.
