Chapter 23

Early the next morning, the recruits woke up with the horn. Led by Shawn, they tidied up and set off for the hills in the north of the city accompanying the few veterans Keane Hill had left.

Although they had been training for two months, the gap between recruits and veterans was still obvious. It wasn't so obvious when they walked a quick march in the military camp.

They were all full of confidence and had a high morale.
