A few days later, beneath a mountain outside Codera. House Silversword and their subordinate houses had temporarily set up camp to wait for the promised military support and provisions.
They had been waiting here since yesterday so everyone was bored out of their minds.
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground tremble so they quickly assembled and prepared for the incoming forces.
"Are those people the crown prince's troops?" Alaric asked as he squinted his eyes.
Standing next to him, Lucas revealed a look of surprise. "No. I think they are Her Highness' private soldiers."
Alaric couldn't believe his words. "Are you saying that Irish has a private army of more than one thousand soldiers?"
Approaching them was an army of almost the same number as they had. Furthermore, the people leading them didn't seem to be some random slouch either.
Using his Appraisal, Alaric discovered two Transcendent Knights and one 3-Ringed Beast Soul Master on their side!
