Synopsis

The chapter begins with a discussion about Joshua's violent punishment and the second flagbearer's acquisition of a legendary black metal armor. This armor becomes a symbolic representation of the patriarch's expectations and a warning about using Yona for negotiations. The patriarch's true focus is revealed to be the second flagbearer, using the situation as a warning and a command, with him needing to return the armor as battle-worn, before being summoned, and also tasked with relaying this message to the youngest flagbearer. It ends with the second flagbearer being threatened with losing his rank if the patriarch is not satisfied.
