Rost Layton executed the prisoners with wooden stakes that nightfall, Winters attended a secret meeting in the camp.
The secret meeting took place inside the legion's treasury, which, like the headquarters, was located in the center of the field camp and was one of the most important buildings. It had a semi-underground structure with the best sound insulation, which was why it was chosen for the meeting.
There were no clerks, no orderlies, not even guards— they were arranged to stand more than five meters away.
Aside from the two legion commanders, the attendees all held dual roles: they were both the most trusted officers of Antonio and Layton, as well as senior spellcasters.
Technically, Winters didn't qualify to participate in such a high-level meeting — at least the others were majors, and he was just a junior warrant officer.
But he had to be there. Because... he was the key party involved, the eyewitness, and the witness.
