I imagine that now that Irene managed to piss of the king, he might FINALLY get around to sending his freakin' army into the fray.

I doubt Fiore has anywhere near a million soldiers, but it'll still help to even the numbers a bit.

I hope the other countries on the continent will show up too to deal with the fodder. That Alvarez already dealt with Bosco should show the other countries won't be safe either, so they have a vested interest in joining forces before the enemy achieves whatever objective they have in Fiore, since even without knowing the details they ought to realize it'd be bad news for them if Alvarez get's what they are after.
