"Oh Lord! The French King is leading forty thousand troops to invade Northern Italy?!..."
"Correct! The French King claims to have fifty thousand troops, but the scouts estimate it's forty thousand. As for the exact number, it's still unclear... but in the previous large mobilization, the French King indeed gathered over a thousand knights! Adding the chamberlains that follow these knights, they can assemble three thousand elite cavalry... As for the infantry, there are roughly ten to twenty thousand conscripts, along with another ten to twenty thousand hired mercenaries..."
"So effortlessly, they gathered an army of thirty to forty thousand. The mighty Kingdom of France is truly enviable!..."
Speaking about the already commenced Italian war and the strength demonstrated by the Kingdom of France, Nuno, the trusted confidant of King Joao and the Court Chief, was genuinely envious!
