Chapter 376 The Forge Of Unity

• With the new alliance solidified, Ariella, Kaelen, and their growing army set out toward the northern reaches of Elandor, where the loyalists had gathered. The journey was long and fraught with danger, as Daemon’s forces patrolled the land, seeking out any sign of rebellion. Every step they took brought them closer to the heart of the kingdom, but it also drew them further into the heart of the enemy’s territory.
• As they crossed barren lands and desolate villages, Ariella felt the weight of the kingdom’s suffering. Every broken town, every abandoned home was a reminder of the price the people had paid for Daemon’s tyranny. But she also felt the glimmer of hope that came with their new alliance. The people were not completely defeated—they still had the will to fight. It was that spirit, that stubbornness, that they would need to rekindle if they were to reclaim their kingdom.
