Four days after being sent by Lucien, his messengers began to arrive in the vassal kingdoms of Portgreen.
Lucien also sent a thousand mercenaries to each of the four main cities and smaller groups of mercenaries to the villages as a sign that he and Cassidy would protect all of the people under Portgreens rule, just as Cassidy's father intended and as she did before.
The mercenaries followed Lucien and Cassidy's orders and were also being paid well for it. Lucien had access to not only the wealth of Scarlett and the other mercenary leaders but also the Guild's at his disposal.
Lucien also wanted to start using adventurers to defend the Kingdom, but they still needed to be disciplined, and of course, they still didn't have the black mark when Lucien sent the messengers.
The first group arrived at Bluewind and was very well received by Ron. The messenger made it clear that Lucien wanted his presence in Portgreen city not only as Bluewind's ruler but also as his friend.
