19th July 1574
"Everyone, ready your weapons, but refrain from shooting unless I order otherwise!"
After leaving the furious officer behind us, I lead the entire group and our horses to the river itself, before signalling for my steam paddlers to approach us. With my forces in the city still prepared to resume fighting at any given time, I didn't need to worry about the enemies assaulting us at all.
In the end, despite how cocky the Ostros appointed officer was, he couldn't change the reality of the battlefield. To be frank, after I witnessed the tragedy that transpired for so many people on my own soil, rather than turning mute to their desperate screams, I pushed one of my escorts to notify the city. Rather than turning around to the human's suffering, I ordered them to provide as much medical care as they were capable off!
