Three weeks passed in a flash. As soon as he woke, Ash would train with the knights for a little over an hour and then begin working on the walls with Gabe. While he was working, Allice helped the fort commander. Thanks to the training she had received, Jorin found her service invaluable allowing him to spend less time in his cramped quarters.

It took less than a week for Ash to get a letter from Emelia. Thankfully she didn’t seem mad at him, but she was going to limit the rest of his actions within the war. Ash wanted to complain, but after having an army chasing him for days and nearly dying, he found himself with very little ground to stand on.

The letter had mostly just talked about what had been happening during the current war. There had been a number of small engagements along the border, but recently there had been reports of a larger force being sighted. At the same time, the king and other nobles had sent letters to Emelia to use Ash as a scapegoat to escape the fall of her territory, but from Emelia’s own words she had no plan to do such a thing. The last part of her letter left Ash speechless. It seemed that she was with a child. There was only one small line at the end to tell him as if it was only an afterthought.

When Ash had read the last line of the letter he had wanted to run out of the tent and return to the capital. Thankfully his mind returned and he was able to stop before he had made it that far. For two days after that, Ash had walked around mostly in a daze with his mind never truly on the tasks at hand. But as the days passed, he found it easier and easier to return to his normal routine.

Everything seemed to be returning to normal until reports started coming in that a large force had already destroyed two of the small forts and was most likely headed in their direction. Dispatch riders were sent not only to the capital but to the other forces within the duchy. It would be insanely idiotic to march straight toward the capital without first trying to destroy the other forces, otherwise the attacking force would be caught between the wall of the city and the knights who would rush to protect it. The only reason they would try such a thing was if they were sure they could breach the city walls before the defenders could be mobilized.

When the news reached Jorin, he doubled the watch and ordered that at least five scouts were to be out patrolling at all times. The pressure to get the walls finished increased and Ash and Gabe started to work until their MP was completely exhausted each day.

The days passed with no signs of any enemies, then one of the scouts returned with the news that a force of more than forty thousand was marching toward the fort.
