After leaving the dungeons of Archers, Leon and his two companions did not learn much about the situation in the East from the Kantadar prisoners of war.
The few minor lords from Glade County were originally under the command of Count Mamor and in constant battle with the large army of Trosa when Orland first attacked Kantadar; they had learned of King Aviut's withdrawal from the Eastern campaign through messengers that returned to the army after failing to seek reinforcements.
These northern nobles of Kantadar, who had recently left Mamor's forces to rush back to Glade County, knew very little about the actual situation on the eastern border.
With some regret, Leon bid farewell to Balfe, who had also been recently knighted as a baron, leading everyone on the journey home from Glade County.
"Shouldn't we take a detour to check out our fiefs in Glade?" Even though it had been two days since the ennoblement ceremony, Lokhak was still visibly excited.
