Chapter 868. War Planning

"Five… Five hundred thousand?" Jack stammered. That was way more than the participants during the civil war.

"What about the native army that is heading to the front line? What's their number?" Jack asked.

"We have arrived. You will hear the details in the meeting," Jeanny said.

Two soldiers who guarded the large door to the throne room opened the door for them. Jack and Jeanny entered a hall full of people. Despite the stunning number of people, everyone lined up nicely. On the throne at the far side, Prince Alonzo was sitting there, and beside him were John, royal advisor Mason, and Duchess Isabelle.

"Is Alonzo crowned king already?" Jack asked Jeanny in a whisper.

"No. Originally, the coronation was supposed to be carried out this week, but Verremor's invasion has put the ceremony on hold. It will be carried out after the invasion is repelled," Jeanny answered. She took Jack to the front where John was waiting.
