Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Setting Out

On the day of the expedition, the streets of Red Tide Territory were bustling with people.The townspeople gathered spontaneously on both sides of the road to send off the knights and soldiers about to embark.Louis rode at the forefront, draped in a black and red cloak, with Calvin's family crest embroidered on his shoulder.Behind him were the ready and armed knights and soldiers, including eight Elite Knights, twenty-five Official Knights, sixty Apprentice Knights, and two hundred infantrymen.Everyone was fully armed and prepared.In the Northern Territory, this was a highly elite force ready to engage in battle at any moment.This expedition saw Louis taking away more than half of Red Tide Territory's combat forces.First, Red Tide Territory was located in a relatively safe southern area of the Northern Territory, so even if they were short-staffed, there wouldn't be much of a threat.Second, he had the Daily Intelligence System to learn about dangers in advance and avoid being ambushed and annihilated.In this case, he must bring enough forces to earn more military exploits.This would not only solidify Red Tide Territory's status but also help him establish a foothold among the old nobility of the Northern Territory.His goal for this campaign was to make a name for Red Tide Territory.In the midst of the farewell crowd, Weir stood at the front, his eyes full of envy.As an Apprentice Knight, though he had awakened his Fighting Energy, he was too young and not yet skilled in Knight Skills, so he was left in the territory to continue training.As Weir watched the imposing knights surround Louis, he was filled with longing.He also wished to become such a person, able to follow the great Lord into battle."Alright, that's enough of a send-off."
