312.2Kareteon Halloween was a brash warrior at heart, but he at times had a significant bout of scholarly curiosity. While King Dexius was communing with the generals for the next plan of action, Kareteon had some Arghilean court-wizards test the properties of the "purified" crystal deposits- the anomaly eked out from the strange Paladins that worked for the chaos adhering Red Court, or at least what the court scribes had told him so when he arrived with the pressing sitrep concerning the region.
To be truthful, the only reason why he was doing this was because of that mysterious force that spoke out to the entire army after they had finished beating back part of the Red Court. Dexius dismissed it as some sort illusion by the Red Court and the sitting generals of both Steamland and Zalalastan agreed. Kareteon however suspected much more. The portal in the area acquired by the human kingdoms was cordoned off. While it had seemed to have changed entirely from its more dark nebula into one of light, it wasn't trusted at all.
His court-wizards would study the Crystal of Light fields for months, until one particular court-wizard fines something eureka inducing - the crystals, of light and not of chaos, had the exactly same affects of curing the Purple Leaf Disease when tested into contact with a skin sample marred by the disease! Not only that when moved to live subjects, of which a small amount of soldiers in the crusade force was ill with a moderate stage of the Purple Leaf Disease, it had seemed to possessed amplified effectiveness than its chaos derived counterpart - without any of the unwanted side-effects of regular vision dust that gives the receiving hallucinations and a addicted need for it afterward.
When Kareteon brought news of this, the entire crusade force is in an uproar of revelry and merriment. Of the most happy was Dexius Consortia who was relieved that now the Black Qhaganate didn't have to be deal with at all and now he can enact his plans of enterprise independent of the putrid Slugmen. Now all they had to do was hold out until the Crusade "officially ends" and he'll have the greatest influence of choosing the human Warden-Monarch of the lands they have under their control. He doubted Kareteon, as young as he is cares much of politics - which is good for King Consortia. Entire battle plans now outdated are thrown to the campfires and the command of the humans begin restrategizing.
The Great Diplomatic army will have its engineers
begin constructing advanced archery emplacements, small fortresses, and the beginnings of a
wall. It was started at the south-east part of the Crusader occupied territory to they can't be flanked from the held fort of the Qhaganate. Mages from Zalalastan, as sorcery was the most advanced in Zalalastan out of the human kingdoms, muster out
fire runes to supplement the defenses of the engineers are building.
While the Diplomatic army digs in, Arghila and Karhan simply begin
acquisitioning more equipment and mobilizing more men from their Kingdoms to the held position. The newly minted Sky-Ship of Steamland greatly ups the supply threshold of what is realistically possible do to its speed compared to land based caravans.
Amidst all this the Vipers will act as an overwatch for both forces.
They will preemptively intervene against any force that tries to attack the human armies.
While this being done back in the desert region, a commission of doctors and court-wizards affiliated with the discovery of the cure the Light Crystals possess go to Thairmir
in a bid to to completely or if by some, wipe out the Purple Leaf Disease from that realm. It is the most badly effected of the human realms despite the purge inacted by a team of Inquisitors a few years ago throughout the human Kingdoms.
