[Candaceburg] Attention to Orders

[Alexis Sapientia]

Timestamp: 5 Imperos, Summer in the Second Era of the Regency of Milo L'Evienne

The riders came from Aelyria Prime, the Imperial Minister of War having decided that messages of this nature best be sent by land instead of by Imperial Warbird. Heavily armed, they brought with them more than just mere news, but new orders.

Omri Kyra, Imperatis of the Candaceburg Harvesters recieved the missive with an audible sniff. With a look at his legionaires training ground he gave a nod to the messenger and set his subordinates to work.

Not only did he rally his troops for a 'stealthy' trip to the Sherian, he sent a messenger to the Blades of Carmelya with a request for aid. Wherever the Harvesters went, they always brought a group of the elusive rangers with them. Half a legion and a thousand Blades would descend to the Southern Province in groups of a dozen or so over the next month. A legion by itself could never be secretive.

By the next brightening small groups of men, horses, and equipment were winding their way through the fields of Prime Province in the direction of Taralon.
