Still, this place was different than the other two islands; the trees here were more varied, and the land was open and flatter. And from the look of it, densely populated, at least in comparison to the other two islands.
Nevertheless, you wasted no time moving the army further inland. From there, you would need to decide how to proceed further.
The first thing you were made aware of was that there was a sizeable army of Svengalians in the south, who would most certainly be marching north to drive you from their shores.
There were a few things you could do; you could march upon the castle that screened the north from the south. It would be confrontational and quite the gamble, for it would mean coming close to the army down south.
The other option was to sweep north, secure the villages and other settlements there, and buy time to get yourself into a favourable position by the time the enemy arrived.
The last option would be to stay put, dig in, and let the enemy come towards you; the grassland you were currently marching over would offer the cavalry good opportunities for operations.
