"Yes!"
Alex, one hand pinching her breast, now firmly pressed the confirm button.
Originally, Alex planned to wait until Sophie had crafted the equipment and sold it for magic crystals before upgrading her castle and then performing the summoning. But now it was midnight, and there was still no response from Sophie, which probably meant a long wait.
Alex didn't want to waste time and decided to go ahead with the summoning herself so she could head to bed afterward.
The Barracks crystal emitted a green glow, and twenty figures began to coalesce in the light.
Another tall figure appeared, about ten feet tall, similar in size to a gargoyle but humanoid and wingless.
Alex was sure this was a troop she had never seen before.
"A rare troop has appeared!" Alex exclaimed as a figure wearing a crown and heavy armor, wielding a broadsword, materialized.
