596 What You Think

Kieran saw another squad of soldiers around the street corner.

They looked quite different from the city guards though as they looked sharper not only in terms of arsenal but also spirit. At least when the squad of soldiers saw him, they didn't forget their duties even though they were afraid and nervous.

"The remaining troops from Lightning Fortress and the imperial guards of the palace?" Kieran wondered.

Lightning Fortress had a total of 3,000 soldiers stationed there all the time and Kieran didn't kill all of them when he first charged through the fortress. The imperial guards were obviously the soldiers that were loyal to James VIII.

Regardless of how Jeanne used her powerful forces to seize Riverdale single-handedly when she was still alive, a handful of them were still loyal to James VIII.

Still, it was a rare, good piece of news for Kieran.
