PS: There will be another update today. This is the first.
PS2: There will be a plan for make-up updates later. Tianzi has always remembered that he owes a full ten updates, but there is no need to trouble Lady Mazu over something like this. Tianzi swears to Jin Yuan Emperor Chen Rui that he will make them up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A string of fireworks shot into the sky. Though nothing could be seen through the thick fog, their sound reached Eleanor, Countess of Aquitaine and supreme commander of the left flank, loud and clear.
Miss Cleric was only halfway through her meal. She always ate politely, taking small bites. At the signal, Eleanor calmly tossed her buttered bread onto the ground, drew her Tears of Selûne warhammer, and cried, "Justice will prevail! Followers of the righteous gods of the Realms, today we crush the Church of the Dark Sun! The time has come to end the Zhentarim!"
"Ooooooh!" Countless church troops and vast numbers of black-clad Bedine knights on the Western Army's left flank rose in response, answering Eleanor's order with thunderous cheers.
The churches taking part in the Battle of Teshwave that day included almost every church of the good and neutral gods of the Realms. They were far from united; many were rivals or even enemies. Yet when Aaron issued his call, they had still come to fight without hesitation. Even their longstanding grudges were set aside wherever possible. Those who truly could not tolerate one another simply pretended the other side did not exist and kept their distance.
With her long experience managing religious affairs, Eleanor handled these arrangements with ease. The religious troops were assigned clearly defined sectors, preventing excessive infighting, and the occasional minor dispute was quickly stopped.
There was no helping it.
