The sun rose the next day, and the various armies started to leave the Rockwood castle. One part went with Lord Inquisitor to the Green City. And the other part prepared to move with Sylvester and arrest the Duke of Ironstone Duchy.
Since Inquisitor High Lord's job was to deal with the queen, he couldn't accompany Sylvester. But still, they had some level of information about the strength of the Duke and what armies he had most likely gathered. For that reason alone, the Inquisitor High Lord had left behind Sir Hans, his right-hand man.
Sir Hans was a veteran commander, so his experience was supposed to help Sylvester plan for the upcoming battle. His help was well appreciated as Sylvester was not a jack of all trades. He didn't know about mass warfare, especially how to command a large army in a backward setting.
