บท 211: Erle Part III

As the first light of dawn painted the sky with hues of gold, the army stationed in the south of Erle Island assembled. Their armour gleamed in the gentle morning glow, and the rhythmic sound of marching feet echoed as they move eastward. 

The villages along the way, once bustling with the activities of daily life, now stood eerily silent. Doors were shut tight, windows boarded up, and abandoned belongings scattered in the wind. Signs of hasty departures were evident throughout the villages in the east.

No resistance or retaliation was encountered by Ryntum in the region. 

With no one to oppose them, Ryntum simply planted their flag in every village and region they passed, a visual symbol of their dominance and control over the land.

Also, they didn't forget to leave some troops to consolidate their holding.
