After disposing of the elderly bishop, the king rounded up his troops and conquered Long River Town.
There was no more resistance from the town’s side. The townsfolk all saw the castle in the sky and were overwhelmed by Benjamin’s magical power. They believed that with this mage here, foreign soldiers could not hurt them, so they were happy to be occupied by his forces.
The mayor, however, was rather unlucky. He was frail and died from the impact after getting thrown from the sky b the bishop, despite the fact that somebody had caught him. The only management left in Long River Town was the head guard, treasurer… you know, low-ranked people.
The king gathered them at the governing hall and they all pledged their loyalty to the king. Thus, they kept their positions and there was no huge change to the town’s governing circle.
"I... have finally returned."
