"Yes, but this time I can guarantee that there are no structures about the area you are clearing. If you DO find structures, they weren't there when I did a quick flyover of the area. And even better, you should be done and back within two weeks."<br/><br/>Since the only person he could send that had any real chance of finding random armies in the area was his silver, and he was not sending her into hostile territory on her own, he wasn't surprised that they didn't find anything. The patrol itself was more to remind Pitax that he existed and would contest them if needed. The trade surge was nice, but the fact that they managed to conceal WHERE the trade town was going was reassuring.<br/><br/>Still, with the rumors being what they were, he did authorize a fort to be built almost due west of Numestown, officially to ensure the security of the Pitax-Enigma trade route, and later to be the base of its own town. In reality, it was to serve of as a check against possible aggression, and as a jumping off point if they ever needed to attack Pitax for whatever reason. Sadly, his plan for a more northern fort for the same official and unofficial reasons would have to wait until spring, when Jubilost headed back out to finish mapping the area.
