This command has made Laine smell something different. Normally, after an army faces chaos creatures in battle, it cannot enter a city immediately; it typically needs time to rest and observe the effects.
But Laine still sensed something different.
As the army approached Atuo Castle, the scene before them made Laine widen his eyes.
An army was already waiting for them.
No, not one army.
Two armies.
Under the towering Atuo Castle, two elite Kingdom Knights Corps were awaiting their arrival.
On the left, the family banner of the Red Fire Dragon swayed in the wind, the golden tassels beneath it dancing in the autumn breeze.
Beneath the great banner, the fiery red Bastogne Kingdom Knights fully armored, stood ready. Their shields were uniformly engraved with yellow-red dragon emblems. Dozens of Kingdom Knights stood in a perfectly orderly formation.
Golden helmets, silver armor, and majestic feathers.
