"But five thousand is a bit too much… we are extremely lacking compared to out competition and you want to take away five thousand?" Mathew asked with a frown on his face.
Keith looked up at him and pointed a finger at his face, "Look at those dark circles, jeez. Get some sleep."
"Also, I never said that I'm taking your soldiers away and giving them to others you know?" Keith continued before he turned to look at Leora, "It's an investment. I'm going to make them extremely strong, but I don't want my efforts to go to waste, so I want them with me even after the war."
He then grabbed a small cookie from a plate in front of him and popped it into his mouth, "Once the war starts, I'll have five thousand men who are almost ten times as strong as a royal knight. Don't you guys want that?"
