The main forces had pulled back and Frostvele had been left in the hands of Leo.
It was not an assignment anyone took lightly and Leo had not taken it lightly either.
He had settled into the position with the steady and practical focus that defined most of what he did and had spent the days since going over defensive arrangements, patrol rotations, and supply lines until he knew the layout of Frostvele's defenses the way most people knew the inside of their own homes.
Wales was with him and that helped. The man had put together a monster garrison that was genuinely impressive in both scale and coordination, constructed units working in layered formations across the outer perimeter and key chokepoints throughout the town. It was not a small operation and Wales had not treated it like one.
