As for the ten thousand troops in the castle, some chose to lay down their arms and return to their fields, while others chose to follow the Holy Daughter and joined the Salvation Army.
Among these ten thousand troops, three thousand are the Lord's standing army, professional soldiers, and seven thousand are conscripted peasants, including serfs and freemen.
Apart from those fighters, the castle also holds more than twenty thousand soldiers' families, the clergy of the Church, and various people of miscellaneous identities.
Although these people are not warriors, at the critical moment of life and death, each one can become a soldier.
It is foreseeable that if a battle truly breaks out, the Salvation Army might eventually win, but it certainly wouldn't be an easy victory.
After settling the surrendered soldiers and their families in the castle, Brennan came to the Lord's Hall.
