The last breath of fighting didn't take anywhere as long as the massacre that preceded it. With the mercenaries heralded by Hubert pushing right into the messy crowd, cutting out the corridor took only a few moments.
From that point on, the most tedious yet relatively easy part of the entire mission started. One by one, the few relatively healthy victims of wizard's oppression started carrying those who were still unable to walk completely on their own.
Even though it went slightly against my principles, I couldn't bear to be a monster that would be willing to leave those poor people right in the sight of safety to their own devices. And since I already brought them so far, I ultimately didn't mind lending my hand to those few who sustained the worst injuries over the long time they were tortured.
