Conquest's prelude

It took two weeks to settle everything in Frostwave Bay. Henry decided to leave twenty infantry to keep the city safe, with Benjamin also staying behind to handle the city's paperwork and do all administrative work to report back.

On top of his horse, Henry took a last look at the bay, seeing the silvery water and people watching him from afar, fishing tools already in hand, but taking their time to say goodbye to him - "On our way to the East, I'll stop by the capital to gather workers and materials for building. It should arrive in the next two months" - he said, turning to Benjamin, who stood respectfully before the infantry.

Benjamin bowed - "Understood, my liege." - His job was to obey the king and even though he wanted to follow him, he was the fittest to this mission.
