"Where will the Themisphere army move out to?" Aldryth asked.
"Before that. Let us hear how many troops everyone can mobilize," John said.
"I only have the 500,000 soldiers that follow me out from Hydrurond," Aldryth said. "I'm not in a position to recruit any additional troops in my current situation. Some deserters and adventurers from Hydrurond joined my force but they were not many."
"I thought I would have the fewest troops. I can spare 600,000 troops for the campaign," Thelgrun said with a wide grin.
Aldryth gave the dwarf a side-eye. This was not a competition.
"Let it be known. If I move my troops, it will be into Hyrdurond," Aldryth stated. "I won't move my troops anywhere else while my country is still under conquest."
"We respect that," Jack said.
John gave Jack a gaze that said, 'Are you the strategist or me?'
