Gunner watched it all occur silently, noting how effective these suicide troops were. He decided that if any army were to surrender to him in the future, he would use their troops in the same manner for the next empire.
What was that? 'Human life', 'innocent', 'just obeying orders'?
Gunner cared nothing for any that. He didn't even care about the civilians living behind those walls, who had nothing to do with their leaders' decisions. Neither did Darius.
You see, what they needed wasn't even the kingdom itself, merely the land. That's right, they were interested in the entire land of Fallon, so that Darius could expand Safemoon and build his own towns and cities across the entire continent with ease.
As for people?
Couldn't he create his own that would slowly reproduce and fill the place up? It was surely better than trying to integrate these fellows who had their own beliefs, political system, and religions.
