The next territory turned out to also belong to the Redflames. But Atticus had taken Magnus' advice to heart and had only stopped to kill the territory lord.
He left for the next territory almost immediately.
As time passed, Atticus visited different territories only to discover each of them led by Redflames. Killing their lord, he turned into a streak and left for the next.
During this time, the Redflame army only grew in size and might. The remnants of the Redflames in each territory joined the main army led by Emberion and Prya.
Their pursuit of Atticus was relentless, raining down fiery attacks the moment they sighted him.
Only ashes and devastation were left in the wake of their march, yet they did not pause.
On the back lines of the Redflame army, Emberion and Prya stood in front of a large map displaying the entire region.
Other viscounts stood a distance away, wanting to be nowhere near the impending clash between siblings.
