Sword God in a World of Magic

"Welcome, everyone!"

Right now, it was morning, and a group of 20 warriors was gathered near the northwestern border of the Farm Line.

The warriors all wore different outfits.

Some of them wore furs.

Some of them wore armor.

Some of them wore normal clothing.

However, one thing was the same.

All of them were at the Early General Stage.

Except for one.

The person that had just spoken wore an expensive-looking set of green armor and a spear, and while everyone else was at the Early General Stage, he was at the Late General Stage.

The gathered group of warriors only politely smiled at the officer's greeting.

"I'm from the Duke's personal army, and it's my responsibility to get you to the northern border," he announced.

"All of you have signed up for one reason or another."

"Some of you want to make a good impression on the Duke," the man said as his eyes went over a group of men wearing a set of standardized, immaculately cleaned armor.

"Some of you are here to gain experience," the man said as his eyes went over a group of young men wearing uniforms from the Warrior's Academy.

"Some of you are here to make amends," the man said as his eyes went over some people wearing furs and leathery armor.

"And some of you are here only for the reward," the man said as he looked over a group of three people wearing masks.

"However, today, all of you are equals. It doesn't matter why you are here. While you are here, you are one and the same," the officer declared.

"Excuse me?"
