Chapter 217
As the morning sun barely began to rise, Marquis Daniel, accompanied by his bodyguard, headed straight towards the Armenian camp. There, he saw unfamiliar faces unpacking their belongings.
“...Armor made of black iron?”
Marquis Daniel squinted at the sight of their gear. Weapons made of black iron were considered luxury items in the empire, difficult to procure even for the heads of noble families. Yet, these individuals were equipped with not only swords but also full suits of black iron armor.
‘They say the Armenian merchant guild is raking in imperial money, and it seems they’ve really splurged.’
If that money had been used to support high-ranking political nobles, the returns would have been far greater than investing in a mere knight order. It seems Yan, lacking experience, is too straightforward.
Just as Marquis Daniel clicked his tongue and attempted to enter Yan’s tent, the Armenian knights, who were unpacking nearby, drew their swords.
“Who dares block my path?! Do you not know who I am?!”
“Should I?”
“You insolent fool! I am Marquis Daniel. Move aside at once! How dare a mere knight obstruct a noble!”
The knights surrounding him chuckled at his outburst.
“Did you hear that? He called us mere knights.”
