Chapter 314: Lucas Reveals His Power
A few days later, the loud war drums suddenly reverberated, awakening the soldiers who were still sleeping.
Everyone hurriedly got up to put on their armor and to prepare their equipment.
At this moment, Alaric had already assembled his troops with the rest of the battalions.
It is about time.
Alaric thought as he looked at Lucas who was standing in front of the gathered soldiers.
After everyone had gathered, the expressionless Lucas jumped onto his mount and shouted in a booming voice. "Let us depart at once!"
"Yes, my lord!" The soldiers responded sonorously.
With more than four thousand troops marching, the ground shook vigorously. Their intimidating presence scared monsters and humans alike, allowing the army a peaceful journey with no obstacles in their path.
The Grand Duke’s estate was located in a vast territory sitting next to the capital, Grateja. Due to its abundant resources and large population, it could already rival the major cities in the empire. However, unlike other cities which were jointly controlled by a few noble houses, Grateja was solely controlled by the Grand Duke!
Greteja was just a small village that was once part of Codera, but it had grown into a massive territory with considerable wealth and power! The person who had made this possible was the Grand Duke, Lloyd Astania!
After almost half a day of marching, the army finally saw the towering walls of Grateja.
