After reaping the first slew of benefits in Kael's plan.
Both Dean McKenzie and the Strong Grass Alliance were willing to cooperate.
The next day, the Strong Grass Alliance mobilized an army of tens of thousands, preparing to set off towards the Golden Plain.
Kael looked at the massive army with a sinking heart.
To his shock, there wasn't a single seven-turn among the army of tens of thousands.
What's the use of such an army?
Beyond revealing their forces, Kael couldn't perceive any positive impact it would have.
So, he politely refused this so-called army, and asked for a guide instead.
Kael initially just wanted a guide familiar with the terrain, but to his surprise, Strong Grass herself volunteered, claiming that no one in the Alliance knew the Golden Plain better than she did.
Considering her leadership over an alliance with millions of members, Kael was rather flattered having Strong Grass as a guide.
