Chapter 102 - Sorry for the lack of staff!

The army of 8,000 marched confidently through the green plains, their faces set in determined expressions as they prepared for battle. The vanguard, clad in heavy armor and mounted on horseback, led the way, their banners flying proudly as they trampled along the field.

It was a sight to behold, as the noble army moved forward with confidence and a sense of purpose. (Look at comment to see the state of Italy during the war , alliances and armies' positions)
