At the tail end of April, Colin led his army back to Ice Rock City.
By this time, spring was in full bloom in the North Territory, with misty greens visible everywhere along the road.
Rich, green grass swayed in the spring breeze, stretching with a comfortable pride that blanketed the earth in layers of green.
What gratified Colin even more, however, were the fields of wheat that had already been mostly cultivated.
Even though the other parts of the North Territory were in chaos, the land belonging to the Angler family was peaceful. The presence of the thirty thousand Silver Moon Guards, the ample supply of food reserves, and the geographical location far from the center of the storm, all kept the war from easily spreading to this territory.
Occasional sporadic slave revolts and invading marauders were swiftly suppressed, so this year's spring planting was not greatly affected.
