As a reminder signal, the loud horn sounded leisurely from the top of the Observation Tower.
Along the winding road down the hillside, the procession bearing the Thorny Flower banners, greeted by Leon and others, slowly entered Selva.
Although a letter had arrived earlier to prepare them for Baron Eriv's arrival, the scale of the Farolis family's military procession was still much larger than Leon had anticipated.
Several Thorny Flower Knights led a hundred Heavy Cavalry, followed by hundreds of Red Robed Soldiers from Farolis City, wearing pot helmets, nose protectors, and Chain Armor.
The end of the procession was trailed by a long line of civilian supply wagons.
Initially, Leon worried about how Selva could accommodate this formidable force of thousands.
Fortunately, most soldiers and civilians did not stay but continued through the village and onward to the Thorny Flower's eastern supply camps.
