One hour later.
In the massive plaza beneath the central council hall of Emerald Castle, every Hero Unit and Ace Unit within the castle had gathered. The lineup was nothing short of jaw-dropping:
Elven Unicorn Knight Elynn,
Her unicorn companion Elyra,
Treant Eldorin,
Treant Bromir,
Bronze Golem Karnak,
Gold Golem Arbachel,
Mana Crystal Dragon Zyraxis,
And the four powerhouse Ace Units:
Ancient Behemoth Balthazar,
Green Dragon Orryn,
Ancient War Tree Oakenmaw,
Gem Dragon Seran.
That wasn't even everyone. Still missing were Seraphina, Cicero, Auremax, Kyros, and others like the Dragonblood Elf Lilith, Tideborn Spirit Thalassa, Merfolk Seer Mareth, and The Tidebreaker Paxton…
Even so, just counting the Hero Units present, Emerald Castle had—what? Fourteen, maybe fifteen of them?
And here's the kicker—
Aside from Treant Bromir, Thalassa, Mareth, and Arbachel, every single one of the Hero Units here was at least an orange-tier Legendary hero.
Let that sink in.
