Chapter 274- Training

[Six months later]

The preparations for war were in full swing.

At first, sorting through thousands of troops had been a daunting task, but Bellarine managed to pick out the most capable fighters and organize them into proper units.

The forces of Crimson Claw and Crimson Clan were spread across the region, along with the division from the Asian Alliance that Richard had brought under his command. From such a massive pool of soldiers, it was no easy task to select those who were truly fit for the first wave of battle.

As Richard had insisted, they wouldn't take weak soldiers just to be thrown away as cannon fodder. He valued quality over quantity, and as his mother, Bellarine took it upon herself to ensure only the best warriors would support her son.
