Things continued like that for a week until the General Commander suddenly returned to the Red Leaves territory, and he went into a closed-door meeting with both the Dragon Lord and his heir.
The meeting lasted the whole morning and afternoon.
What they talked about was how the men-at-arms of the different Lords, especially those recently displaced, were acting out. Already, two Lords were killed while the men took full control of towns.
The General Commander had already dealt with the situation, but such methods only seemed to breed more of the same. Even the new Dukes were having trouble controlling the men under them as the rebellion of revenge spread throughout the whole Region.
After a lot of back and forth, they decided to go with Vacuse's idea of a war, putting every force under the Region Army. That would also draw a clear line: join the army or you are the Dragon's enemy!
