Compared to the Kingdom's other fronts, the Eastern Front wasn't the main battlefield, so the Kingdom Government had no intention of investing excessive resources there.
This put the nobles on the Eastern Front in a tough spot, as they had to scramble to procure their own grain and manpower for the war.
The march was consequently delayed, and it wasn't until early February that the army finally arrived outside Fengman City.
Valentino, however, returned to Fengman City first with Robson.
Valentino and Robson had previously discussed the internal affairs of the Fengman Clan.
Although Valentino had externally secured her position as Count, like many heirs, she still had a nest of parasites within the clan to deal with.
Robson's presence was a godsend.
