As the final stage of the Illusion Realm Trial approached, the hundred-thousand-strong army stationed around the Capital had mostly been cleared out. There was no longer any point for those who had been eliminated to remain here, so they had withdrawn alongside the commanders of their respective divisions.
This also freed up a considerable amount of space both inside and outside the Capital. At present, the number of soldiers remaining in the city waiting to take part in the next phase of the trial was down to twelve thousand four hundred.
This figure was somewhat lower than Su Yu’s initial estimate. However, as far as the final quota was concerned, whether it was ten thousand or fifteen thousand made little difference—it was simply a choice of one out of two, or one out of three.
