"Twenty-one Soulbearers can go," Iron Knight said.
Vacuse stared at him with unblinking eyes. "Twenty-one?"
"Yes."
That was... that was simply too low. Even Eloryna shifted subtly beside him, her gaze going sharp like a blade, and Vacuse understood her. If twenty-one was divided between the two of them, one of them would have to go with one less person than the other.
And a single Soulbearer could change the dynamics of power. It could literally mean the difference between life and death.
Vacuse groaned silently to himself. He thought he would be going with at least a hundred warriors. But eleven? That was too low!
"So how are we going to share it?" Eloryna asked, her eyes on Iron Knight and the small tree in front of him.
Iron Knight shrugged, a slight smile on his lips as if he was enjoying how things were going. "How do you want to do it? Only one person can have ten members while the other would have to settle for eleven."
