092 Sets Out

After several days of preparation, Anning finally set out with his small troop.

Leading the way at the front of the procession was the Cavalry under Christina's command, followed by a battalion of over a thousand infantry, and the Artillery and baggage train at the rear.

Anning rode a tall brown horse and stood on a mound beside the road, watching his troops march past in an impressive display.

— Indeed, judging by the military appearance alone, it did look rather formidable.

Anning thought to himself.

Seven days since departing from Paris, Anning's troop approached the area of rebellion.

That morning, Christina came riding hastily to see Anning: "Andy! Hurry over, our reconnaissance Cavalry discovered something."

Anning: "Don't call me Andy in the troops, call me Captain."

"Alright, Captain, come quickly with me, we found something bad ahead."

Anning nodded: "Lead the way."

Christina turned her horse around and kicked its belly to send it galloping off.
