"Does this mean you will take me as an apprentice?" Eldrian asked, hoping that the process would be easy.
"Yes, since you said you only need guidance. That will make it far easier for me." Old Sword replied. They then spent some time figuring out what this mentor-apprentice relationship will contain. During which the army also started moving, Eldrian following along with Old Sword. Both of them on horses in the middle of the entire division.
From the added height given by the horse, Eldrian was able to sometimes see the perimeter of the division. Where fights would break out every now and then. These fights weren't serious, with only a couple of beasts. Normally less than a hundred, being in the direction the army was heading.
A group of soldiers would quickly split off to kill the beasts, the bodies harvested for food and resources as soon as they fell.
After quite a short time Eldrian and Old Sword had already agreed on the oath they will swear.
