The wounded knight answer.
"After our continuous victory and advancing to take over the whole Arcania as we are nearing their Capital city when some unknown wyvern flying around the Arcanian Gate, They call themselves as Pilipins (Philippines) after that a loud explotions erupts to our forces out of nowhere the hole legionnaires has been wiped out even our Wyvern attack forces didn't even stand a chance against the super speed and loud rawr of their iron wyverns of the Pilipins."
The King is a bit disappointed and cannot believed on what he hears about the story of the wounded knight.
"Hahaha! That's totally absurd story you got on me! So you're telling me that for over fifty thousand soldiers we have in the Arcanian capital we already lost in an instant? That is totally absurd story! This Arcanians are just low creatures and cannot even unmatched with our modern Army!. And what with this Pilipins all about?
The knight explain the situation
"Let me explain the situation your Majesty, First of all after all the battle we have in arcania and we are nearing to capture Arcania's capital city when some unknown flying iron pegasus speaks in front of their capital city and they call itself as from the government of the pilipins and suddenly a few moments later it rain hell of large explosions out of nowhere that eliminated 80 percent of our legions.

The unidentified enemies just came from the middle of the ocean and start firing their magical wand and they even have iron tortoise that can't even be penetrated by our ballista and arrows from our archers."
The King is annoyed and starting to get mad about the news.
"So you're telling me that 400 thousand armies we deployed in Arcania we already lost 100 thousand men? Or you just making this kind of excuse for the failure you all made in Arcania? Bullshit Arcanian's are just a lowly creatures and you all defeated in an instant?"
The Knight feels nervous while he speaks to the king.
"No your Majesty our new enemy is much more stronger and they are a monsters in human flesh."
The King orders one of the royal guard to call his generals about the situation about their invasion in Arcania.
"Hey you! tell all the generals we have a meeting about our campaign in Arcania!"
"Hai!"
The King walks away and tell the knight that their conversation must not be spread to anyone.
"Hey you!"
"Yes your Majesty?"
"After what we've talk earlier I need you to shut your mouth and don't ever talk to anyone about this thing you got it?"

Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere...
