Seden Town is a remote seaside village that has been constantly raided by the Painful Esoteric Sect throughout the years, with scarcely a tenth of its population remaining.
The desolate autumn light covers the broken and ancient streets, where withered leaves rot alongside dead rats in the sewers, and every household's doors are tightly shut.
Theoretically, this town shouldn't have many able-bodied men, nor should it be able to offer much in the way of resources.
Yet, Knight Rosen still managed to assemble a squad of around a hundred men.
With his innate leadership and charisma, along with his status as the head knight of the Church, he delivered an impassioned speech that successfully persuaded the local authorities.
Moreover, he recruited about ten local Second Order saints from the local church.
