Considering the teleportation circle array wasn't done, Devaguea was willing to give Irovetti the first point in the war, even if it didn't truly amount for much. Still, once the city was out of panic mode, he side-graded the commander to logistics for the troops, and shifted up another officer. After that, the group was done healing what they could, and retreated back to Enigma, where Kesten had already been pulling in an army. Already messengers had been dispatched to the kobolds, lizardfolk and centaur allies, informing them of the war and asking for what they could spare to help, especially archers and scouts.<br/><br/>Devaguea made a couple speeches to the population, informing them that war was coming, but they would meet it and overcome it like all the other trials that had assaulted the kingdom. After all, they had all beaten an ancient evil, a magical plague, and a barbarian horde already; what could a war, which humans had been doing for so long it was one of the few constants of their history, do when compared to those threats?<br/><br/>Still, with the war coming, Devaguea looked over the funds of his kingdom, and noted they could probably field a massive army and a smaller support army indefinitely, though very little construction would be done until the war was over after the current batch, just to make sure they could afford the war. Worst to worst, they would have a surplus in the treasury. But first, he needed to get his armies built and marching west. Luckily they had the roads for it, and the current batch of construction was building a highway from Enigma to Numestown.
