DELILAH:
We ride to what used to be a mining town. Now it was a mining and farming town. When the eternal winter was over, the land in the North became arable again. So many people migrated to work the land and extend the crops.
That had given us an advantage. In the past, the North had to rely on the other regions for food supplies.
Now, we were more independent than ever.
My squad was ready. All trained by Yae and me. Our mission was clear: bring justice to the Duchess.
We receive reports of crop burning. The Duchess's enemies were having their way. All hooded, they hid their faces while sowing fear.
They threatened the peasants with messages that said "get out of here or you will pay the consequences."
The only consequences that were going to be paid were those of the traitors who were sowing fear.
When the villagers saw us arrive, they gave us looks of concern and others of hope. They knew the reason for our presence.
