The war had actually never ceased. As the fifth layer of the Abyss closest to Solam's Triple Realm, the Great Abyss had suffered terrible luck these past few years, practically being ground into the dirt by Solam's armies every day.

Solam needed training grounds, but he also needed a stable supply of high-quality soldiers. Solam's method of training troops was simply too cruel.
