Ansgar's Road to the Kingdom of Athlone 2/2

A few days later and after having burned all the corpses of that castle, Ansgar advanced towards the barony of Adragh, which was the next place before reaching the kingdom of Athlone.

The road was quite calm and free of any kind of danger, so it did not take long to reach the barony of Adragh.

Upon entering that territory, the army lookouts could find traces of a human presence, so they quickly prepared their weapons and notified the main army.

When Ansgar walked the trails of human presence, he ordered everyone to be prepared for combat, as he did not want to be ambushed.

After advancing for a few hours, they reached the first town where they could see people. The vanguard, not knowing what to do, simply circled the town silently waiting for the arrival of the main army.

When the army arrived, Ansgar sent a representative to the village to find out how those people had survived the famine.
