Chapter 74: How many
They were standing on the battlements, looking at the armies that spread below them.
Beside Vacuse were Harkon and Lyra and some of the New Dawn and Dragon Guards.
Lyra frowned. "There’s about two thousand of them, but their numbers are constantly swelling. Seems the first wave was pulled together hastily while others joined."
The atmosphere was tense.
The outpost they were in is known as the Last Tooth Fortress, and it marked the real ending and starting point of the Vorrakyn’s territory.
It was built specifically for that reason.
Already, armies in red had filled the space in front of the fortress, the Dragon flag flapping in the air.
One thing Drenvar invested heavily in was the army, and it showed in the way they stood in neat rows. Soulbearers at the front while the regulars stood at the back.
With the Wing Brigade brought over, and the soldiers already stationed in the fortress, and the others joining them, they had already pulled close to four thousand.

Each Commander’s men stood in their place, quietly watching. Waiting.
Vacuse frowned. "How are we able to bring this number of men together on such short notice?"
