The Cornflower Witch

Vol 2 Chapter 156 Ceremony of Loyalty - The Peacock Oath

It was war, Sylutia thought as she rode her horse, watching the battle lines gradually advance in the distance. Yet, she still didn't feel much of a sense of reality.

The war she had imagined should have been the coordinated effort of countless units and logistical departments, a total mobilization involving every aspect and field. But that was likely a scene only from a post-industrial era. The wars of this current world were still stuck at a relatively primitive stage, lacking even a well-established system of military strategy and tactics.

Over the past two months, what she had done was lead a group of people, rush to a location, and then the enemy forces there would quickly surrender. She would then leave some people behind to take over before continuing on to the next place. Scenes that truly required combat were extremely rare. So-called victories were as simple as drinking water.

It wasn't until arriving beneath the walls of White Cliff City today that she finally sensed something different. The army of the Kingdom of Ante had finally assembled, forming neat battle formations.

There were roughly forty knights on the opposing side. This should be the entirety of the Anty Kingdom's knightly combat power within Regas's territory. The rest would need to stay behind in Anty's homeland to fight against the Winter Kingdom.

As for Sylutia's side, aside from herself, there were only sixteen knights, all newly promoted. No one knew exactly how much combat strength they possessed.

However, the young girl didn't place too much hope in them. Currently, the 'Castle' Aspect power coalesced by New Regas was mostly concentrated on her. Even Princess Mursa didn't have as much as she did. Given time to accumulate, Sylutia advancing to the 'Fifth Tier - Castle' wouldn't be a problem.

But if that were the case, the wait would be too long.
