This campaign ends with a victory in Mulek, and then, rather than continue the conflict, Moroni concentrates on defensive positions, and the very important task of making sure that there was food available. One the typical problems of war, depending upon the season, was that it could easily lead to famine if the fields were trodden down, or if there were insufficient men available for either planting or harvest. In this case, it appears that this may have been earlier in the year, and therefore planting season.
