Falco's Reign - Part 71While Argyle returned to Grimkeep, Duncan led his army in forced marches towards the Lear. The large ford, also known as the Big Wade, was located at the spot where the Lear left the Karg forest and entered the fertile Leklis valley, which ran all the way from Kalhan, over Brugar to Griffnar. The little ford, also known as the Little Wade, where Coronado had set up camp was further up stream.
Somewhat to his relief, he noticed there already were several thousand men present. Apparently some of the companies that were spread all over the Skallagrim Domain had arrived.
“Captain!” he yelled as he dismounted his horse. “How many have arrived already? And do you have any idea where the others are?”
