Early the next morning, the Noble Alliance Army, which was stationed north of Giant Stone Territory, formed up and set out after breakfast.
Although each noble's contingent had its own leader, problems arose with the march as soon as all these men and horses converged to advance on Giant Stone City at the same time.
After all, there was only one road. With everyone trying to use it, congestion was inevitable. It wouldn't be surprising if a contingent got split up, with a few men here and a few over there.
Ronin had originally planned to worry about organizing the troops after they reached Giant Stone City, but faced with this situation, he knew he had to do something as the Commander.
First, he had Ridder, Macken, and the others order all contingents to halt and stand by. With the Knight Squad from Wubei Territory maintaining order, one noble's contingent would set out completely before the next one followed.
