The duel was set to take place outside the castle. Once word of the contest between the Marquis and Count Ossen spread, Professional Knights, wealthy merchants, and commoners from Wushan City all began to flock toward the abandoned pasture.
Just after noon, several thousand people had already gathered, and as the appointed time drew nearer, the crowd only continued to grow.
As subjects of the Wushan Territory, most of them had come to witness their Lord's magnificent presence.
"What a crowd."
Ronin arrived at the dueling ground with Blanche, accompanied by Macken, Toru, Kabil, Marvin, and the others. There was still half an hour until the duel was scheduled to begin, but the place was already a sea of people.
"A big crowd is a good thing."
Marvin looked like someone who enjoyed a good spectacle and didn't mind a bit of trouble. "Today, everyone will get to see the power of the Lord of Wushan Territory."
He seemed to have a mysterious, unwavering faith in Lurans.
