Chương 613: The march

(Leo's POV)

The sight of 22,000 men marching out of the Barony was one to behold.

Columns of soldiers, disciplined and dressed in uniform, snaked through the town streets and out toward the horizon.

The rhythmic thud of boots hitting the cobblestones echoed through the town like the heartbeat of a great beast, which sounded steady and unyielding.

The townspeople, commoners who knew many of these brave warriors marching today, gathered along the streets to bid them farewell.

Some stood in awe, eyes wide as they took in the spectacle of such a vast force, while others whispered among themselves, no doubt wondering what battles lay ahead for their lord's army?

The direction that the army marched in today was not the Eastern Boundary where the Demon War was currently ongoing, but rather the opposite direction towards the West, which confused the commoners as to what was going on?
