As the first snowflake of winter fell on the land of the Bratis Continent, Conley, Allister, and Claudio finally met again.
And this time, it wasn't just the three of them; they were accompanied by their armies. Conley had sixty thousand soldiers, Allister brought forty thousand, and Claudio had thirty thousand — all elite troops.
Besides that, both Allister and Claudio lent Conley forty thousand golden lions, at least enabling Conley to cover the war expenses for this campaign.
The mood was complex as the three met again; none of them had anticipated becoming allies fighting side by side someday.
Moreover, if they successfully defeated Ireya, the three would still have to face each other in a decisive battle, leading to prolonged arguments when discussing the choice of the army's commander in Shorttail Town earlier, with no conclusion.
