General and the Duke were stunned, then they immediately called for a soldier and verified the information on Sam's battalion and after seeing the hundred soldiers from the Dragon Hawk tribe they understood the situation.
This is one of the dirty secrets of their military. Holding a tribe hostage in the name of giving them 'refugee' and then using their men in the form of meat shields and the cannon fodder.
Even though, they are not extremely proud of it, they don't want to lose this opportunity at all, when they found the tribe and the worst thing is that the tribe only has a population of around three thousand people excluding the five hundred people who are in the army.
Now they understood what happened. The Dragon Hawk tribe members might have requested Sam's assistance.
