Chapter 117: Eager Supporters

"My Lord… I welcome you to Watcher's Retreat."

Laris knelt on one knee and bowed before the imposing form of Richard von Petra, the general placed in command over the fort. Though Laris was not from Lord Petra's lands, he knew well of his battle prowess and ingenuity.

Laris was but a child fumbling in the dark when it came to the art of battle, especially when compared to the likes of Richard von Petra.

"Rise, Laris. I appreciate your consistent and thorough reports. You have done as well as could be expected with the lackluster troops you possessed. For now, I would like the current list of all remaining Marked Ones and their abilities. We shall incorporate them into my troops and attempt to match them with the platoons that suit them best."
