Lind faced several more weeks in the Icy Path before the hordes moved on. It was one facet he could not quite grasp. Victory or defeat did not enter into it.
After a certain amount of time, the soulless would just migrate. He had a few records on that but thus far he had no pattern. With the enemy now baiting him, they seemed to make even more random choices.
Intelligence was still a must so he was forced to interact with information brokers such as they were. Any Immortal fighting on the frontlines was not denied service but Lind kept everyone at arm's length.
In many respects, his life had become simpler. His cave was very spartan but even his day to day was no longer as ascetic as it had once been. He was neck deep in battle and the rest of his time was spent in cultivation.
The rarity became going to a town or village for news. Now that the hordes had moved again, he would have to find them. It would not be difficult.
