Chapter 114

The two knights fell silent under Maxi's fierce glare. With a final look, she spurred Rem forward across the vast grounds, and Ulyseon dutifully followed suit.

When at last they reached the basilica, the Temple Knights halted the march. The wagons filled with loot were directed to the depository in the courtyard while the Osiriyan soldiers carried out orders. The knights dismounted and made their way to the guest accommodations. Some, however, rode off toward the west entrance. Since the basilica could only accommodate four thousand, the rest of the army had opted to stay in the city's inns.

Maxi slid off Rem and observed the soldiers moving with precise coordination like a colony of ants. Following Anton's instructions, she joined the mages heading for the university. Much like their previous visit, the mages had been assigned the university's dormitory for their lodging.
