It took a full day to gather eighty thousand heavy armored soldiers, fifty thousand Sacred Knights, six hundred magicians from two Mage Guilds, three thousand high-level priests from the Church, and top experts from all forces at the Rotten Dragon Territory.

The leaders of all forces and Ah Dai had also adjusted their conditions to the best. As night fell, the Pope summoned the leaders of all forces along with the four Sword Saints.
