Warm sunlight cascaded down, shining upon the Divine Blessing Legion by the river's edge, also illuminating their somber faces. Gold, silver, wooden, bone, and stone sun amulets twinkled around the Samurai's necks, as if the Sun God's protection was always with them.
Xiulote and Natali prayed together for a few moments, then allowed each other to lead the Samurai away to rest. The youthful Priest closely observed the passing Divine Blessing Legion, nodding slowly but firmly.
The final batch of reinforcements to land at the river was the disorderly Chichimeca Canine Descendants. Dozens of chieftains from the Canine Descendants Tribes shouted loudly, calling warriors of varying numbers to gather into groups of different sizes. Then, under the guidance of General Osellor's Envoy, the chieftains approached in disarray, paying their respects one by one to His Highness.
Xiulote bore a commanding presence as he received the loyalty of the Canine Descendants chieftains.
