"A hundred thousand?" Jack was amazed. When they went on the expedition to Temple of the Divine Squall with three thousand soldiers, the army already seemed like a lot.
Duke Alfredo misinterpreted Jack's reaction, thinking that the outworlder thought the number was few. "He was not yet king, so he can only summon a fraction of the country's army. The ones that come to his summon are mostly those under the commanders and nobles who support him."
'A hundred thousand is just a fraction?' Jack thought. He was even more amazed now.
"Therribus must have expected the news of Rhemos' death to be known soon, so it is unlikely he can ambush Alonzo as he did to Rhemos," Mason said. "That's why he is assembling this army. He is planning for a direct battle to deal with Alonzo."
"How many troops does Prince Alonzo bring with him?" Jack asked.
"Including the outworlders that joined, their numbers are around ten thousand," Mason answered.
