In the northern part of Castel, about 120 kilometers away from North Port, lay a forest.
Underneath the large trees, Violet Soldiers in various attire were grouped in clusters, resting against the tree trunks.
They numbered around five hundred, the vast majority of whom were conscripted peasant soldiers, but there were also a few elite armored men; at the edge of the forest, several hundred horses of different colors were tethered, most of which they had plundered from various places in Castel these past days.
Not far from them, there were over two hundred soldiers, dressed distinctly in the style of the Northern Land, wearing the attire of Isaac's Cavalry, and they formed a somewhat detached small circle with the Violet Soldiers.
The soldiers of Isaac clearly did not get along well with the Violet Soldiers, each one with fierce eyes, looking like untamed hunting wolves.
