Such a unit should be at least Rank Six, shouldn't it? But Brando immediately shook his head and rejected the thought. Valhalla was still a beginner territory. Even if they were the most legendary kind, being able to recruit Rank Six troops was simply too absurd.

In fact, the Wind Archers, as the first unit produced by Valhalla, already possessed strength approaching Rank Four, which was extraordinary. If they exceeded Rank Six, that would seriously disrupt the balance in The Amber Sword. This world should still follow the rules of the game.
