Preparations for Battle

(Regaleon's POV)

After our long journey we have arrived at our destination, the junction in the Deuss River. I have already sent word of my arrival to General Vincent in advance and so he had a small group of his soldiers to meet us.

"Greetings to the sword and shield of the Grandcrest Empire." The soldiers made a formal greeting and bowed.

"Rise." I said with authority. The soldiers obediently followed my words.

"Your majesty, we will escort you to the general's camp." The leader of the group said.

"Mm, lead the way." I said.

The soldiers got back to their horses and led the way to the hidden camp. The ride didn't take too long. We arrived at the hidden camp set up the General Vincent's men. Along the way the soldiers in camp gave their salute to me.

After coming to a stop I alighted from my horse and gave the rein to one of the servant boys on standby.
