He took out his communicator and called Gaelgar. After two rings, Gaelgar answered, but what he said struck Alfonso like a bolt from the blue.

This is the time to farm equipment; no one would be willing to join a war now. And there are still the Gods Cavalry Regiment and Liu Jie in the central region and the north."
