"You know he's only gone and recalled every last mercenary and soldier?"

"Why?

"Not a damn clue, but our roads are the safest they've ever been, the island is garrisoned, and the Inns are making money hand over fist, he's paying them over the odds! Of course they'd choose this over fighting in some foreign war!"

"It will take a while Minister… might take weeks, to a couple of months for all contracts to be voided, or completed."

"Nevertheless, the moment those contracts are complete or voided, they fall under the employ of the Free City State of Four Corners. I've no idea why though…"

"Winter is coming?"

"M'love!"

"Darling! You're home!"

"And not before time, no effin' idea why though… but seems a good many Kingdoms are going to have to fight their own wars for once. I bet they bugger the whole thing up. Not our problem though… the Chancellor wants to pay us to stay home, I'm gonna enjoy every last coin!"

And indeed, Kingdoms soon began to feel the pinch…

Their borders stretched thin. Assignments unfinished, and reinforcements non-existent. The soldiers are simply melting away to better pay, and safer terms.
