章 598: Situation in the west

Two weeks later, we arrived at the western border of the kingdom.

Before we even arrived, we could see that the situation in this place wasn't going well.

There had been many refugees making their way out of the western part of the kingdom, showing that the fighting wasn't going our way here.

When I had General Killock bring some of the refugees to see me, I learned even more things about the situation here in the west.

Though it was a bit hard for me to get them to calm down at first.

They thought that we were the enemies that had invaded that captured them, so they had been filled with terror. It took a long time before we were able to convince them that we were an army of the kingdom that was here as reinforcements.

It seemed that the enemies had been pushing hard and the nobles here had been hiding inside of their own territories. The only safe places were the cities and towns that the nobles protected with their armies.
