Chapter nineteen (3)

Commander Gallion looked back at his troupe and the Lord of Westforte castle as he rode into the Flom, and sighed. He had not thought this would be the outcome of waiting for the second wave to arrive. He remembered when he went up to their commander and asked to be reassigned to Northern Lan capital, where the main war was taking place. The commander just raised a brow and told him he is to return home to the capital. His troupe had reacted the same way he thought they would; they were disappointed. They had not had a good war in a while. They were not like other commoners forced out into war, they were soldiers who would gladly die for their kingdom. In haste to leave before he was forced to return home, he told the commander he was to take the lord of Westforte to see Lord Steinhouse; that was their last mission. And like dogs without a master, they were returning to the city of Flom to see Lord Steinhouse. He is the only one that can help them get into the thick of the action.
