The dwarf said it would take three days to gather the army and complete the mobilization preparations, and this is really not an exaggeration.
With the prosperity and expansion of Hesse Territory, the troops within the territory have been deployed to various locations. Aside from an elite force at Heisen Castle, the remaining troops are stationed in a ring at key defensive positions, outposts, and farmsteads.
For example, the dwarf troops are largely deployed around the outposts, mines, and various water facilities near Jinke Mine. Almost one-tenth of their forces are stationed at the Iron Mine outpost tower alone.
There's no choice in this dark era where demons run rampant; if humans were to retreat into cities and castles, then farms and villages outside would surely be destroyed by various raiders.
As troops gather everywhere in Heisen Castle, a large number of fully armed soldiers leave the barracks and march in formation towards Heisen Castle.
