King? (2)

            The atmosphere was weird, and while Zaos was wounded, he could fight for as long as needed, but instead of that, the inhabitants fell on their knees, and the mercenaries did the same. However, with only their left knee. That was the stance when the king declares someone as a proper knight. While offering their weapons toward Zaos, they presented their lives and services to him.

            A few hours later, Aleni, Nakin, and the others headed toward the town once they saw the whole armies raising their camps around it. Naturally, the town couldn't fit fifteen thousand mercenaries, so ten thousand of them would camp outside the city while they waited for further orders.
