At the time of the beginning of the war between the Melki Empire and Broteforge, there were 500,000 F-Class Adventurers, 100,000 E-Class, 20,000 D-Class, and from that the level difference got even more, with there being 3,000 C-Class, only 1,000 B-Class, and 134 S-Class Adventurers.
However, there were still two types of people with power above the S-Class, who were not necessarily Adventurers. These people were the Sense Class Mages, mages so powerful that they can use spells even more powerful than Gene Skills of the highest level, and there were also the Seculars, people so talented that their talent appeared only once in centuries.
For these fantastic people, the quantity was 7 Sensory-Magicians and 13 Seculars.
At the time of the invasion in Sheltered Halvoy, one of the seven sensory-mages was on the farthest floor of the city dungeon, but he returned to the surface in a snap of his fingers. He saw the monsters attacking people, but ignored this, after all it was only a few monsters and the local Adventurers could handle it. What really caught his attention were the dozens of ships that lay on the shore of the city. These ships bore the crest of the Melki Empire, which made the man confused.
Still, these ships could not do anything against the Imperial Capital. Why? The answer is simple, it was because a sensory magician was present. With his release and control of electricity, Hazard energized the water particles in the region's atmosphere and they quickly turned into ordinary clouds, which evolved into Nimbostratus-type clouds.
A storm began, which forced the ships to retreat to a more distant part of the sea. Hazard preferred to do this rather than actually destroy the ships, but his efforts to avoid a conflict were unnecessary, because one had already begun.
Amelia discovered that the attack on the Imperial Palace was only a distraction, or rather a warning. Many miles away, Parato Island was taken with extreme ease and speed, which was a critical blow to Broteforge right from the start. Everything was happening too fast and the incoming information was confusing.

However, one thing was clear: there was no resistance from the Smakusa Navy, otherwise Emperor Callant and the other Commanders of the Noble Families should have found out beforehand what was going to happen, so they could react, even if it meant sacrificing Parato Island. However, they didn't even have that option.
If things continued to progress in this way, Oukiwa would be taken within a few days, which should not happen anyway. To this end, Callant called an emergency meeting with the main people of the Broteforge Empire.
There were twenty-two people gathered in all, and all very powerful, which made Luke think:
'What the hell am I doing sitting here?'
The half-wolf only agreed to go to this meeting because Ayumi Yamazaki and Alexis Dmitry asked, but he didn't expect that both Seculars and Sense-Magicians would be present.
On his right side was Ayumi, but on his left was a Sensory-Magician of intimidating aura and genius. She was Shin, an Elf with white hair just like Nathalia's.
Also, on the other side of the gigantic round table were a blond man with black wings; a girl with golden, semi-transparent horns; an old man in white clothes and gray hair who didn't even seem to be feeling the strain of war; and Mikaela ?kerman, a woman with golden hair and a gentle countenance.
Also present were the Seculars Barret and Baptist, the Cardinal Church Pontiff, the Jernmagiker brothers, Hollorius, and other powerful Clan commanders.

Normally, most Adventurers would choose not to get involved in a War, after all, most followed the philosophy that it made no sense to die for something like this, and since there was no Martial Law in the Broteforge Empire, choosing not to go to war was a real option. However, the situation was different this time, because Emperor Callant decided to spread the word to every last person of his people that the Melki Empire was being controlled by evil demons, which is why they decided to attack after so long of peace and parity.
On the other side of the continent, the First Servant was extremely irritated by this action, because this should have happened a few months ago, not at the beginning of the war. Why was this so bad for the Melki Empire? Well, with the information that the Broteforge Empire would have to protect its lands against demons and monsters, the Adventurers finally got involved.
The choice for most was easy and didn't weigh much in the balance: go into cramped caves to fight monsters, or protect a nation and have the chance to become a war hero? Even the youngest enlisted for the Emperor's military service, whose promised pay was even higher than that of ordinary Adventurers. Everyone was a winner.
Still, not everything was going so well for Emperor Callant as the troop buildup. Of the five of the seven Sensory-Magicians who had answered Rebeca's summons, only one had made himself available to the Emperor for battle. All the others said they were neutral for the time being, which confused everyone, but no one dared to question their decision.
This one Magus-Sensor was called Jiyo, and he was the man with black wings.
To make up for the absence of the most powerful warriors of the Cardinal Realm, the Emperor already had a plan. He ordered the founding of three special squadrons:
The Fire Ray Squadron was the first to be founded, and would be headed personally by Jiyo. This squadron would be the elite force of the Broteforge Empire, and would study the right moments to enter the battles, with the objective of being the trump cards for great victories. Jiyo had full authority to summon any member of the Broteforge Army to join his special forces.
The second squad to be founded was the Domain Order, whose responsibility was to fill most of the gaps in the regular army. In other words, this squadron was responsible for managing supplies, defending cities far from the front line, and spreading information.
The last squadron to be founded was the Shadows. Its members were to gather crucial and deterministic information about the Melki Empire, acting under the cover of darkness. By the way, everyone was surprised when Callant asked Luke Lange to command this squadron.
