Looking For A Fight

A similar situation happened in each of the great alliance's capitals, as they had to pull back their troops to prepare for the Inter-Alliance Military Exercises. The only one unaffected by this was Stellar Woodlands.

Their very limited military machine meant they kept to themselves a lot, aside from the few times Leon took some of them on mercenary jobs over the last ten years.

So, their interactions with most kingdoms were through their limited number of diplomats.

This made for a simple preparation for the exercises, as no one relied on them for defence. Point in case was also that the lands around their kingdom and into the Elven forests were mostly devoid of threat, given how many adventurers stayed in Bastion City.

Khalor had made sure the worse of the breaches was sealed before they even left for the update. This move alone had saved the eastern part of the continent of light thousands of lives.
