The leaders of Dimartino gather in front of a crowd nearly twenty thousand strong - the people of Dimartino are gathered together to fight in a way that Barns never thought possible.
Many of them are Adventurers - those skilled in the Secret or Martial Arts that can hold their own in battle. Thanks to the Daily and Weekly Quests provided by Zelia, most of them have B or A rank equipment.
They are the vanguard - the fighting force that has protected Dimartino all this time.
Underhill is also present with his 'Royal Police Force'. While they serve a different purpose than the Adventurers, they are also each battle-hardened and ready to meet the challenge of the day.
But what surprises Barns most are the thousands and thousands of volunteers who have no power whatsoever - who are willing to sacrifice their very existence in order to fight.
Osmond stands before the ground of twenty thousand, pacing back and forth. There are so many he can't see them all.
