Early the next morning, the army broke camp. Marquis Angxi led an army of more than thirty thousand troops into the Arden Forest from the front, while Winford's army and Bastogne's army joined forces, preparing to enter the Arden Forest along the ring path.
This unit was not large, consisting of around six thousand people, of which about a little over three thousand were combat-ready soldiers, while the rest were accompanying personnel and logistics staff.
Early in the morning, a Kingdom Knight who appeared to be in his thirties approached Laine, wearing a silver gilded cross helmet with a golden Fire Dragon statue on top and a full set of Secret Silver Plate Armor forged by the master craftsmen of Bastogne: "Hello, Holy Grail Knight Lord Laine, I am Gabriel de Bastogne."
"Hello, Lord Gabriel, I am Laine Macado." Laine shook hands with him.
