The holy army had been launching scattered battles across the Southern territories for a while now, and pretty much every lord from the other six duchies of the Kingdom of Dawn, plus the plains around the capital, had been sending aid to the South.
Maybe it was because they were charging a hefty price for that aid, but tons of lords had thrown everything they had into it, leaving their own territories kinda exposed.
Even though the Kingdom of Dawn didn't have a huge following of the God of War—most folks worshipped the God of Light—this whole situation still kicked up a massive storm.
War started spreading across the entire kingdom, and basically every territory got hit hard.
