After half a month away from the Holy City of Jerusalem, the aura of impending war was becoming increasingly apparent.
The soldiers of the Templar Order, carrying water drop shields and kite shields, clad in white cloaks with red crosses, marched in groups along the streets.
Those idlers and the most unruly elements of Jerusalem were now detained by the soldiers of the Knight Order, prepared to serve as recruited peasants.
The temporarily expanded blacksmith shop had already extended to the roadside, and the sound of the hammer striking the iron ingots was incessant amidst the roaring furnaces.
Teutonic Knights also rarely appeared within the Holy City. They wore black surcoats with white crosses as they escorted a noble leader to the Royal Palace.
"Brother, do you know who the current Grand Master of the Teutonic Order is?"
Losa inquired.
"Brother" is a simplification of "Christ Brother," which can be used between any Christian believers to express closeness.
