CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

They stocked up on provisions. After breakfast and their conference, they had managed to formulate a plan to at least stall the enemies from advancing further. Leo, Valen and a few Illuvian and Gildan warriors will move onwards to Hildegard to assist the mages if they are really going to practice their newfound abilities on the remnants of Hildegard. They may either turn them into creatures like themselves so Leo must do everything in his power to prevent that.

Aidan will remain in Gildan to facilitate the defense of the kingdom. If they were planning to attack and kidnap the prince and his siblings, then there should be someone to make sure that they were safe. Only a few of the Illuvian knights would remain with him. The rest will join Auria as they will make their way to the village.
