Chapter 7: A Test of Leadership
Kael's growing army celebrated their recent victories, but the young leader knew the true battle was only beginning. In the war council, Theron mapped out their next target: the Riverlands, a fertile region that supplied much of Malric's grain.
"We need their resources," Theron explained. "But Malric will not give them up easily."
Kael nodded. "If we win the Riverlands, we cut off a vital supply line for Malric's army. But we must tread carefully. The people there are terrified of retaliation."
Aria added, "We can't just take the Riverlands by force. We need to convince the people to stand with us."
With this in mind, Kael and his companions set out to the Riverlands.
