"So you're taking dispatches to King Swyddned of the celts," he said. "I assume you're invoking the mutual defense treaty that Duncan signed with him some years ago?" Gilan nodded, sipping appreciatively at the fragrant coffee. "The King feels we're going to need all the troops we can muster." pg #- 13
This passage means that there is a big war coming up and Gilan needs to make his way to Celtica and find all the troops he can get, this is very important because if Gilan doesn't get the troops for the war against Morgarath his kingdom (Araluen) will fall into the hands of an evil man. Morgarath's army is as powerful as it can get and they have thousands of wargals and 500 troops of Skandians. The only way to survive now is for Gilan to get more troops. The kingdom of Araluen is counting on him, it's they're only chance of survival.
