Sara stepped forward, her gaze moving from the lowest-ranking officers to the Elite divisions, then toward Shadow Crow and finally the five captains standing at the front. Thousands of people waited for her to explain why nearly every important division of the Liebus Agency had suddenly been gathered inside a hall that hadn't been opened for years.

"The demonic army has crossed our border."
For several seconds, nobody reacted.

Then the War Hall erupted into confusion.
"What?"
"An army?!"
"How is that possible?"
"Since when?!"
