The emperor's words snapped some of them awake.
Those people followed the emperor into battle.
In the end, four hundred and thirty-one class holders took the field.
The emperor no longer used the title Saintly Order.
It would make the Card Players forget who they really were.
Rats came lunging at them one after another!
Just as everyone was about to use control skills.
