In the forest at the southwest corner of the fortress, squads of war monks marched in orderly steps, appearing at the edge of the battlefield.
They wore neatly ironed silver-gray chest plates, held the ends of their long spears, and moved their steps mechanically.
"First Long Spear Master, align with me, close to the right!"
"Fourth Holy Gun Master, spread out to the right by one arm's length."
In the continuous whistles and orders, within almost three minutes, the Black Hat First Corps quickly transformed from marching formation into battle formation.
Three hundred long spearmen arranged in a 50X6 formation in the center, and two hundred holy gunners arranged in two 20X5 horizontal formations on the wings.
At the front of the forest, under Victor's leadership, the Black Hat First Corps had basically completed its preliminary deployment.
However, Rudilo, unable to resist for a moment, fired a volley of guns at the knights and was still trying to manage discipline.
