The auction was drawing near, and Hudson prepared five hundred elite troops for departure early.
Although officially they were on a mission to buy war horses, in reality, it was a trading expedition.
For these types of big deals, everyone is afraid of being taken advantage of, so selecting a third-party territory is often the best choice.

Who would be more credible: a person of unknown origins who suspects he belongs to the Clergy, or a powerhouse noble from the Kingdom? The answer is self-evident.
