The leaves on the trees turned brown and started to fall, a new season of autumn was welcomed in Eldoria, it had been two months since Roland left, and a month since the Thorin army was disbanded and their soldiers pulled away from the Eastern boarder.
The excited king that had been more than pleased to swallow the soldiers duke Thorin served up on a silver platter and integrated them into the royal army. He had sent part of the royal army to the Eastern boarder and lately, he was sleeping better at night knowing that he controlled eighty percent of Eldoria.
If the duke of Ravencroft could surrender his armies as well, then he would have full control of the kingdom and rule as he wanted.
Unfortunately for the king, what he did not know the loyalty of these soldiers remained with the Thorin family, this was because the duke gave them all a handsome retirement package before letting them go.
