One by one, the somewhat bewildered Darama soldiers appeared within the ranks. Regardless of whether they originally wore armor or had mounts, they were now fully armored, with the same equipment as the Red Falcon Knights—blood-red plate armor, two-handed greatswords, and heavy knightly spears, all of quality +1 magic equipment.
Whether or not they originally possessed the ability to wield these weapons, they now did, having at least reached a transcendent level.
Beneath them now was a majestic red warhorse.
Similarly, no matter whether they originally knew how to ride or fight on horseback, they did now, also at a transcendent level.
This was the reward they received as Heroic Spirit warriors for heeding the call to war by the Goddess of Strategy—this was their deity aiding them through divine power, shaping it for them.
This divine power was readily available.
It came from the ceaseless prayers of Darama's hundred thousand soldiers and civilians.
