Chapter 381: The Reinforcement Army has Arrived

Soon, the army of the Cromwell Family arrived and all the armies of the five noble families had finally gathered.

The commanders sent by each family held a meeting before they departed. Everyone unanimously agreed to let Kenneth Suliman take charge since he was also the one appointed by the five family heads. Though some people were unconvinced by this decision, no one voiced any complaints since the family heads and the commanders had already agreed.

Kenneth Suliman ordered the reinforcement army to march without rest. This was because he received news that the rebels had already made their move. According to the information he received, the rebel forces had already taken three major districts in Warmridge.

At first, the other commanders were dissatisfied with his order, but when they learned the truth from him, they all decided to put down their dissatisfaction. The situation in Warmridge was getting out of hand and they needed to be there as soon as possible.

With the non-stop march of the army, it only took them a few days to arrive at the neighboring city. Upon their arrival, they noticed that the guards of the city were very aggressive and they were more strict in handling the entry of the residents. This was probably because of the war against the rebel force. The leaders of Warmridge put more effort into investigating the identities of the rebels.

This led to the current situation.

"Halt!" The gate guards pointed their bows and crossbows at the reinforcement army. They had been alert in the past few days because of the repeated attacks by the rebels.

The soldiers of the reinforcement army were enraged by this, but Kenneth immediately raised his hand and stopped them from grabbing their weapons.

Kenneth raised his head. His gaze stopped at one of the guards standing on top of the wall. He could sense that this person's aura was the strongest among the guards so guessed that he was their captain. "I am Kenneth Suliman, the commander of the reinforcement army!

"Then we need to support them as soon as possible. Please inform your personnel about our arrival to prevent misunderstandings on your side. We don't our allies to point their weapons at us." Kenneth muttered with a stern look.

Hearing this, the captain was embarrassed, but he still nodded his head. "Leave this to me."

"Thank you. In that case, we will take our leave." Kenneth raised his hand and gave the command to march.

Meanwhile, the captain of the gate guards didn't remain idle. He immediately told his men to send the news that the reinforcements had arrived.

Two hours later, the reinforcement army led by Kenneth finally found the district targeted by the rebel force. They discovered that the rebel army and the army led by Charles Featherkind were still engaged in battle. The fierce collision between both sides echoed in the area.

"You must be Sir Kenneth from the Suliman Family of Northern Trance. I'm Charles Featherkind. Thank you for extending your support to our city. We won't forget this kindness." Charles was a middle-aged man with short black hair. He was wearing a battle uniform stained with blood. Even the armor of his mount was also stained with blood.

Kenneth shook hands with Charles. "It's good to know that we aren't late." The former said.

"We are still in battle so I will make this quick. The rebel forces have already taken control of half of this district. We were about to abandon this area, but your arrival changed my mind. I need your help to reclaim this place." Charles muttered in a cold voice. His hatred towards the rebel force was palpable based on his facial expression.

Kenneth nodded without hesitation. "What do you want us to do?" He asked.

"The rebel army is already tired. We have been fighting them for almost a week now so they are not in their best shape. I suggest that you attack them from behind while they are still busy engaging my troops." Charles had lost many of his men in the past few days so he wanted nothing more than to avenge them.
