Hundreds of boots rose and fell, striking the damp ground, splashing up specks of mud.
On the country dirt road formed by fences and fields, a long line of black-clad figures marched with orderly steps.

The three young nobles, eager to advance, even voluntarily sat on the Vanguard Corps' carriage.
