At the same time—
after that long, brutal chain of campaigns, Emerald Castle's overall strength had risen by more than a single level compared to the beginning. But the real change wasn't just an increase in raw military power.
Emerald Castle was no longer a simple, monotonous Castle.
It had gradually grown into a true multi-Plane World hub.
There was a passage to the Nether Sea here. It held the gateway into Nexaris. It had even opened a path that led straight into the Infernal realms.
Power, resources, troop types, energy, and even the underlying origin-structures of different planes were steadily flowing toward this central point.
And with those powerful worlds supporting it—
Emerald Castle now had a continuous energy supply.
It could summon armies without pause. It could keep strengthening itself, expanding its territory, and empowering every core combat unit under its banner.
