With Chris at the helm, Howard was confident there wouldn't be any issues.
Over the past three days, the Frostwolf Mercenaries had impressively expanded their ranks to over a hundred members, each handpicked by Chris for their exceptional skills.
It was safe to say that the most formidable fighters in Tarl City were now under Howard's command.
The first day had brought them six recruits, but by the second day, as their reputation soared, the numbers increased tenfold.
On the third day, they doubled again.
Now, nearly a thousand aspirants were showing up daily.
If Chris hadn't been so stringent in her selection, refusing to settle for mediocrity, their numbers would have been even greater.
This explosive growth was the real reason behind the nobles' fury and unease.
Clearly, Howard's actions posed a threat to their status.
