Synopsis

The chapter opens with the main character returning, welcomed by the group. A general from the Ignoble Clan, Cha Sungtae, is introduced and attempts to claim a higher position, which is denied. A battle plan is formed involving a siege defense rather than a charge, and assignments are given. Some characters are tasked with escorting civilians, while others are placed in vanguard, rearguard, and scouting roles.
