Once I was finished with my business at the church, it had already become dark.
I had been able to convince a few of the apprentices to come with me, but the rest of them still seemed to be on the fence about coming.
In the end, I would just let them decide over the next period of time since it was best to let them think it over. After all, those that were forced onto the battlefield would always have hesitation and hesitation would lead to death.
Not to mention, I didn't want to put any pressure on them to come since I agreed with the priest that we shouldn't force anyone to come.
I was their lord, so I could at least protect my territory and my people without having to rely on forced conscription.
So that was where I had left things for the day.
After all, there was an even harder battle that was waiting for me at home.
When I arrived, the servants all looked at me with awkward looks before turning to ignore me.
