"With the help of the Weapon Master, I think these Mages should be able to calm down a bit," Quintus sighed, "Currently, more than thirty Mage Towers have declared closure, and the Mage Association has put a lot of political pressure on my father."
"Relying solely on us Spartans isn't enough," Rudashus stated, "we must recruit more mercenaries."
"Mercenaries are an unstable factor," Quintus said, looking troubled, "not all mercenaries hold honor and discipline in such high regard as the Spartans."
