The scene was chaotic, with soldiers calling out names and searching for relatives among the ranks.
Michael opposed this slapdash organization, but he had no authority over soldiers from other domains.
Even within the alliance, such interference would be overstepping his bounds.
This was still an era of feudal governance, where each lord managed their own domain.
Thus, the fourth legion ended up with only six companies—barely half of its original strength.

Among the four legions, the fourth was undoubtedly the weakest.
The first legion, led by Count Charles, included the elite court knights, totaling nearly 100. They even had heavy cavalry.
The second legion was equally formidable, boasting 70 knights.
The third legion had a similar number of soldiers to the fourth but included 50 knights.
