(Yes to Septimus' question. As for your question: Because the Knight-General ordered all forts to send their forces to mobilize and fall under his command. Only Fort Bergamot has replied to that order so far. I will have the army arrive in White Haven after the stuff in Fort Storig is done.)

"My father had likely tried, but to get all the evidence we need to convince Perien we'd need to capture Shornhelm anyway." Rob replied.

Sir Matthias revealed himself to the guards at the gate and ordered them to lead him to King Julien. Even if he was not in his intimidating armor, the big Knight was a scary sight. The guards obeyed without a second thought. Once at the castle in Evermore he met with the King in the throne room.

"So, now you show yourself. I had sent three letters to you the past two weeks." Julien said, angrily.

"I was captured by vampires over a month ago." Matthias replied. "They seemingly replaced me with an imposter and continued the bandit attacks."

"So that is why the Silver Bear was unresponsive...he wasn't you?" The king asked.

Matthias nodded. "Aye, sir. I may not always follow your orders to a 't', but I would never ignore you for so long. My goals are Evermore's goals. I would never forget that." He bowed for his King. "I request a pardon for being away so long, I was not able to escape any sooner from the vampires."

Julien waved his hand. "Very well. Go get suited up, my armies are marching northeast within the week. We are just waiting long enough for Jehanna's army to get further west, making it impossible for them to retaliate against us before we take at least Karthgran Vale."

The Knight stood up and then headed out. His armor was in the barracks of the castle, the intimidating plate armor with the mask that brought fear into most men in Evermore and some beyond.
