Chapter 456: 456. A Grand Revelation

Sylvester and Felix hastened towards the East gate, drawn by the sound of bells ringing from that direction. Upon their arrival, Sylvester caught sight of the famed army of Sandwall County, equipped and armed to depart from the gates.

They didn't use any horses, nor did they keep any shields on them. Instead, most of them carried a single sword, but some had twin axes or swords. Some were even wearing light leather armor. It was a strange mixture, but at the same time, Sylvester smelled something much more peculiar. 

'Scent of love and lust—Do they really crave violence this much?' Sylvester wondered and followed Felix to fight as well. 

As they emerged outside the gates onto an already bloodied field of sand, Sylvester witnessed the well-ordered and disciplined fury of the army, despite their frenzied appearance. Not one soldier broke ranks, rapidly forming their formation upon reaching the open field.
