A week later Dathman arrived at the capital. He and the King met in the War Room that was adjacent to the Throne Room. "I saw we sent all our force down to the Rift. We can crush them easily, we have more than twice their force." the general suggested.

"Precisely why we don't need to send more than a bit more than they own. The rest will remain and guard the nation." King Engar said.

"I don't get that, your grace." Dathman said.

"If we march everyone south then we will be vulnerable to attack from either Haafingar and/or Whiterun." Engar said. "I also don't trust Jarl Ygfa to remain loyal when there are no soldiers around her. I say we match 2500 men south and keep the other 2280 to guard the kingdom."

Dathman got what he meant. "I see. Well I will differ to your judgment, your grace. I will leave to get the army ready. It will take a week to get everyone aware of the plan and then we can march south. Will you be joining us?"

"I will be leading the army. I want you to remain and guard my kingdom." Engar ordered.

"Oh, as you wish your grace." Dathman said and left.
