Chapter Summary: “This is Just an Adult Trial”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Arthur deploys five newly formed recruit legions—nearly 500,000 hunters, lumberjacks, and street toughs—as a forward force while keeping his expensive elite legions in reserve.
• The recruits are organized according to their backgrounds:
  • Hunters become highly skilled archers.
  • Lumberjacks serve as heavily armored shield-and-saber troops.
  • Street toughs use varied weapons and improvised tactics, including quicklime powder capable of disabling large groups of enemies.
• Arthur’s massive army struggles to form an orderly battle line. Some officers attempt to place archers on hills and assemble defensive formations, while many street-tough recruits openly discuss how to flee.
• The demon castle suddenly opens all four gates and releases 40,000 ghoul cavalry—far more than Arthur’s scouts expected.
• Mounted on enormous, venomous demon lizards, the ghouls use immense speed, heavy curved blades, low-tier magic, and coordinated charges to tear through the recruit legions.
