"Marshal, although you were defeated, the Empire has not fallen."
At that moment, the voice of the Beak Doctor reached his ears.
Monroe opened his eyes and looked at the Beak Doctor standing before him. This mysterious physician was an elder figure of the Empire, whose age and time of survival were unknown. As for his strength... no one knew the doctor's true power. However, anyone who entered the Sanctuary of Healing, no matter how severe their injuries, would be fully restored by the Beak Doctor's abilities.
Although Monroe had barely saved his life before, his foundation had been severely damaged. Even the Secret Rune inscribed within him had become fragmented. But now... aside from feeling a bit weak, there were no visible wounds!
"A defeat or two cannot shake the foundation of the Empire," the Beak Doctor continued. "This is a letter from the Emperor, and as one of the three great Marshals of the Empire, you hold the right to choose."
