Four-thousand men and horses continued on their journey. There was a special presence in the company, a grade-6 mage, who was under constant protection by two black metal grand swordmasters. This mage wore a magic robe with three rows of symbols and a clan badge. This was a mage from a noble family and he carried himself with composure and arrogance.
Aside from the two black metal grand swordmasters, there was also a large group of soldiers within the regiment designated to protect this mage. It was clear that this mage was of a very high status as he was being protected in the same way as a sorcerer.
