"How long do you think they'll last?"
A silver-haired knight, clad in gleaming silver armor that matched his composed expression, responded calmly. His aura suggested he was far from ordinary.
"Judging by their zeal… I'd wager they're worse than the emperor's palace guards. I'd say three hours, tops."
Another warrior, a towering man with a muscular physique and deep scars etched into his face, retorted in a booming voice. His appearance alone spoke volumes of his lifetime spent in fierce battles.
"Three hours? You're being generous. I'd say they won't last even half of that."
"Don't forget they're wielding holy swords," the silver knight countered. "Have you spent so much time wandering the plains that you've lost your sense for quality?"
"Hah! What good is a tool in the hands of amateurs like them? Holy sword or not, I'd give it two hours at most," the towering warrior scoffed.
