81. The Place Cedric Wanted

When Carlos went back to Ironroot again, he looked around and found it smaller as compared to Glasswood Basin.

But knew that was not true. The walls were still high. The guard towers still watched the empty plain beyond them. The fields still held the work of every person who had stayed while he chased a district larger than his territory.

But after seeing forty Lords build a camp around a forest, he understood how far Ironroot still had to go.

Cedric stopped the moment he crossed the portal. His eyes moved from the iron reinforced walls to the guard towers, then to the fields and the buildings placed between them.

His own territory had one wooden wall, two small houses, and a storehouse was still yet to be fully made. His Axemen slept close to the gate because there had never been enough space to build them a proper barrack.
