"Winford? Hmm, then only the armies of Paragon and Kakasong haven't arrived. What are they doing, don't they know this is one of the most important wars in recent years? We're about to strike directly at Ten Thousand Demon Rock!" Marquis Angxi said impatiently.
No wonder the marquis was impatient. He had arrived here in early August, hoping that he finally had a chance to make a big move to catch the Lady's attention, but ended up being shackled by some delayed armies, having waited ten days in vain.
"Our messenger has already contacted the Kakasong army. They should be able to arrive in a few days. As for the Duke of Paragon's forces, we still haven't received any news," the knight continued.
"Then let's prepare to set off once the Kakasong army arrives. We won't wait for Paragon's," the marquis immediately decided. "If we wait any longer, we'll run out of food."
"Yes!"
Marquis Angxi suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask if the Marquis Surya had arrived. Thinking of the beautiful figure of the lady knight, he felt some regret. After failing to form a marriage contract, he couldn't rightly visit and disturb her anymore.
No matter, as long as he fought this Knightly War beautifully, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. If Surya didn't work out, there were many other choices for him.
The marquis began to study the map. After more than a month of pondering, he and his courtiers had formulated an effective strategic plan, one he considered flawless.
......
Five days later, with the arrival of the Kakasong Duchy's army at Valerim Camp, the Knightly Army formally announced the completion of its assembly.
This army consisted of three hundred Kingdom Knights, more than eighteen hundred Ranger Knights, over three thousand rangers, soldiers, and more than sixteen thousand infantrymen.
Including logistical personnel and various families accompanying the army, the size of this Knightly Army already exceeded forty thousand.
Brittani publicly claimed to have gathered an army of one hundred thousand.
The camp became increasingly crowded, with constant friction between the duchy armies, who had poor relations with each other. The young Ranger Knights began brawling daily, and the experienced Kingdom Knights did not stop them but seemed to enjoy watching the scene.
During these days, Laine stayed within the camp, keeping a low profile. He spent most of his time hiding in his tent reading books and exercising his spiritual energy.
After testing his Spiritual Power Armor, Laine discovered a severe problem.
His power armor was custom-made, lighter, and easier to put on and take off than regular power armor. From the outside, it didn't look much different from standard knight plate armor.
However, as special Spiritual Energy-Driven Armor, like the Goddess of Revenge on his back, wearing this armor consumed a significant amount of his energy and spiritual energy, and if he wore this power armor while using the Goddess of Revenge, it meant double the consumption.
In this state, he couldn't last long.
Laine understood why. The Emperor wanted to train his spiritual energy usage ability, so he specifically ordered the Great Sage not to internalize energy in the power armor.
His son just felt like he was being tricked again.
The baron wanted to test what other functions his power armor had, but Surya pulled open the tent flap: "Lord Laine?"
"Good morning, Miss Surya?"
"Marquis Angxi has notified all of us to attend a military meeting, Lord Laine."
"Alright, I'm coming now."
