After the last victory, the royal army was fully motivated. Although the news that the king had been rejected by the gods was still everywhere, the impact was not as strong.
The stalemate went on for a while, as both the royal army and Lord Aureline's forces needed to recuperate.
The battle in the sixth region was a lot easier. First, the third prince was illegitimate, so he did not have many noble lords backing him. Once a skilled general took over the battle, his forces began to lose strength.
Moreover, the Duke of Ironhaven had led his men to ensure they stayed trapped.
After a few weeks, Lord Aureline's side became restless. After all, they had limited access to resources.
Lord Aureline went to see the seer.
"What are the gods saying? In two days or less there might be a battle."
The young seer looked at Lord Aureline and began to consult the gods.
"You will not die in the next battle. Prepare well," the seer said after a while.
