After the meeting, Robson and the other nobles rested for a day before starting their journey north.
Count Sriphine returned to Auric Province. The southern nobles of Ehrlichland went directly to their new fiefs, and Knight Commander Elon led the Fengman Knight Order back to Fengman City to report on his mission.
Robson, Earl Uman, and the nobles from the two northern counties of Ehrlichland headed for Bai Ma Ferry.
The Largus River marked the dividing line between the northern and southern parts of Ehrlichland's three counties.
Ehrlichland was situated at the junction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the Frankish Great Plains, a region with a dramatic drop in elevation. Consequently, the Largus River flowed with torrential currents, and the only place to cross was Bai Ma Ferry.
Count Sriphine's timely dispatch of troops to seize Bai Ma Ferry had saved Robson a great deal of trouble.
Upon arriving at Bai Ma Ferry, however, Robson didn't cross immediately.
