Laine had ceased its offensive against the mountainous orc tribes. Although no news had spread, all who were concerned about the war's progress guessed the reason.
That dreadful Silvermoon Knight had finally died.
Without the Empire's strongest Paladin, the extremely arrogant Laine had no choice but to halt its invasion. Upon learning this, the orcs launched a full counterattack. The result was that four of the five cities Laine had occupied were retaken by the orcs, leaving only the City of Fangs firmly in the hands of the Laine People.
After several assaults by the orcs, which left behind the bodies of thousands of orc warriors, they could only temporarily abandon their efforts.
Laine had taken the City of Fangs, the gateway to the mountains, but they had lost a Silvermoon Knight. Whether this was a loss or a gain was unclear.
But Amberser had recently come into some fortune.
After waiting by Naomi's side for two days, Naomi finally awoke from the dreamscape.
