The next day, at the crack of dawn, Bain and Leon began directing the serfs in the distribution of land and houses.
All the prisoners were bound, unable to escape, left only to suffer.
Bain and Leon's army established a temporary military administration on Mace's territory and began managing the land.
They first converted Mace's manor into a temporary command post. Then, they began a detailed survey of his territory to assess its resources.
They discovered that while Mace's territory wasn't large, the land was fertile and perfectly suited for agricultural development. 'Had Mace been given another two years, he might have truly solidified his position.'
Bain and Leon decided to distribute the land to the serfs and tenant farmers who had followed them, allowing them to settle down and start a new life here.
The prisoners were kept under strict guard by the soldiers to prevent them from escaping or causing trouble.
