"Easy."
The Graveknit continued speaking.
"There is another town as well, my lord."
"Oh?"
"To the north. Roughly the same distance."
Aiden raised an eyebrow.
"Another one?"
"Yes, my lord."
The Graveknit lifted its head slightly.
"The second town is called Stoneford. It is larger than Riverfall. Their population should be around eight hundred."
Aiden's eyes sharpened a little.
"And their strength?"
"Roughly two hundred warriors. Nine body tempering practitioners."
Aiden fell silent for a moment.
Two nearby towns.
Both within half a day's travel.
If either of them heard about what happened here, they might become cautious or even send scouts.
That would be troublesome.
After a few seconds, Aiden spoke again.
"So there are two towns close to us."
"Yes, my lord," the Graveknit replied.
Aiden looked toward the town walls in the distance.
The skeleton soldiers were still patrolling. The Carrion Knight stood near the gate like an unmoving statue.
Aiden smiled faintly.
