When Kyle asked Bruce where the nearest large town was, Bruce didn't even have to think.
"There's a town about half a day's ride south, young master. It's the largest one before the capital, full of merchants, adventurers, and mercenaries."
Bruce answered promptly.
"Perfect. Get ready. It's time we head out and recruit more people for our cause."
Kyle said, a small smile forming on his lips.
Bruce and Melissa both nodded, no hesitation in their movements.
Queen, still perched on Kyle's shoulder in its hawk form, ruffled its feathers slightly but stayed quiet, alert to the world around them.
The journey to the town was uneventful, the roads quiet under the midday sun.
Once inside the bustling town gates, Kyle made straight for the adventurer's guild, with Bruce and Melissa shadowing him.
The guild hall was as lively as expected—adventurers boasted loudly about their hunts, merchants bartered for bodyguards, and bulletin boards were packed with various job postings.
