On the next day, accompanied by a troop of about twenty cavalry, fifty infantry and two scribes, Henry mounted on his horse and treaded on the White Merchant Road, his first destination being the Eastern side of the kingdom.
He was determined on building a solid foundation for his kingdom, one which he had been postponing for the last few years while preparing himself for the war against Aritreia and Luak. Because of that, the army was the first one to begin its remodeling in order to fight for food and against the invaders of the land.
The horse moved steadily, causing Henry to sway with each step - "Aritreia and Luak have suffered significant losses, particularly Aritreia, which lost its king and at least eighty percent of its nobles. This situation gives me the opportunity to stabilize and develop the kingdom before taking action" - Henry reflected, his gaze fixed on the seemingly endless road ahead, winding like a river through a dense forest in search of the sea.
