Leon received the knight from Deyatuk County and, after conversing with the envoy sent by the Border Marquis, realized the situation was not as he had imagined.
"...You said, how many troops came from the Holy Court Kingdom?"
Leon confirmed again.
"An elite army numbering over a thousand." The Marquis's envoy answered honestly.
Leon frowned; the situation had exceeded his expectations.
It wasn't a conflict between the Ranger Knights and the Lord of Deyatuk, but rather the presence of such a large, unknown foreign army. No lord would easily approve of their passage.
Thanks to this age, national borders couldn't be controlled as tightly as in modern times. This thousand-strong army had actually traveled across the Garsom Domain and reached the eastern Deyatuk County within the Klonia Kingdom before being intercepted at the fortress pass of the Border Marquis.
