It was a simple gesture, but as soon as the forces of the Canvas Stronghold saw it, they immediately turned around and marched back to the stronghold. Through Overlord's regiment training and Grand Marshal Anglius's guidance, the battalion's minds and instincts had been finely tuned to react to those signs and commands.
Once all the soldiers had marched back to Canvas Stronghold, Grand Marshal Anglius walked forward and performed a deep bow as he saluted the young man and the small yellow cat. "Xaos King, Lord Jormungandr."
Vlad showed an awakened smile as, even after bowing, Grand Marshal Anglius stood towering above him. Of course, he did not really care about it and signaled the man to straighten up and follow him.
