Opening Act - Part 4

By all the Gods, they were finally ready. It would have been a lie to say that he didn't feel the slightest shred of fear. Even after all the experience Northman had gathered, fear would always come when there were tough battles to be fought. And here was the toughest battle that he'd likely ever faced, in terms of the odds. Skullic was ever careful to ensure his troops were not placed in situations where the chances of victory were so slim.
