The Falan were still planning to use the Salvation Army as their agent, but the Salvation Army was already swamped with tasks.
After all, Horn had fought a swift battle, advancing from Black Mountain Castle to Xiaochi City, and then to Rapids City, without time to wrap things up.
Capturing the major cities did not mean taking control of the entire county.
For instance, the northwest part of Kasha County was still under church influence, while two towns in northern Lower Reif County remained in church hands.
The Salvation Army did not press forward but chose to recuperate instead.
Firstly, the few northern towns in Lower Reif County were densely populated with castles. If the Knights decided to hold their ground, elite infantry like Horn's wouldn't endure prolonged consumption.
Moreover, the supply of Dragon's Breath for siege warfare was nearly depleted; Horn had just over a dozen left, and with the remnants in the Rapids City warehouse, there were only slightly over twenty.
