Chapter 253: First Skirmish
"The Western Army is marching! Arm yourselves!"
All the soldiers around us began to rush back towards their own tents, going to grab their weapons and armor before filtering westward, where they would group up and prepare to meet the enemy.
As for us, we all entered our tent and began to strap on our armor, all whilst Nirinia waited outside.
Moving with a practiced ease, we all stared at one another for a brief moment, our eyes locking together as we took a collective deep breath before going to join the other soldiers.
Nirinia looked each of us over, her serious face letting us know that she wasn't taking chances with this first engagement of ours.
As we jogged towards the gathering spot, Nirinia spoke to us, her voice cutting over the cacophony of preparing soldiers and other shouts.
