No no I mean the whole country road event that makes the road. During the first point "Sleep until morning" you receive a letter from Bernard stating that some man are at a worksite in the forest path. Korg is not at home the "sleep until morning" option doesent trigger anything.
The fact that he thought how to progress the war quest without Korg and not the country road quest makes me think he simply forgot about this possibility: I mean, Korg is cited only two times and at the end when he meets Ste for the first time, so he's not relevant to the story like in the orc's war.
