The next day after the Golden Port battle, a group of men was riding their horses through the frozen paddy fields. There were twenty to thirty wooden houses covered in snow. The women and men in the village stepped out of their warm homes to start their day. From the outside, the village looked no different than any other farming village. But this village was something more. It was a place where the Northguard rebels were hiding.
"General Zakari, the winter seemed to have hit this village pretty hard. Don't you think so?" The man who led the group asked General Zakari. Except for the leader, the others were adorned with leather armor with metal plating to protect their chests and shoulders. Six of the seven of them were Soul refining stage warriors. The leader was at the Fusion Stage level 10. He was none other than General Booth. Now, after being offered the duchy of Valeria, he was called Duke Booth by the thusians.
