With most of the nobles having arrived at Wushan Fortress, a grand mobilization meeting officially commenced.
Although Lurans made an appearance, he only greeted everyone briefly before taking his seat at the head of the assembly, leaving the rest to Wiggin, who was in a wheelchair.
Wiggin seemed to be well-versed in handling such mobilization meetings.
He began with a rousing speech. He spoke of the dangers on the border, the tragic death of Hahn and many other Knights, and painted a picture of the enemy's wickedness. Finally, he addressed the objectives of the war.
To put it simply, although the forces would be split in two, the goals were to retake Chishan Town in the southwest and to crush the Black Gold Brotherhood's current troop buildup in the southeast.
He no longer mentioned things like retaking Casier Town or even annihilating the Polante Thief Gang, thus lowering expectations.
