CH802: Weight of Responsibility
**
'Only the dead see the end of war.'

The militia retreated back to the hill.
The damage it received was considerable. From a cursory glance, it looked like the group had reduced by about a third.
The Alphas were gravely concerned about the massive losses incurred in just the first battle in this civil war.
They found it infuriating that this casualties could've been minimised, if not avoided, had the militia leaders not been hasty in charging at the enemy.
The Alphas certainly wanted to give them a piece of their minds, but that wasn't the priority at the moment. It was helping the injured.
The Alphas, Fatima and Korede especially, joined the few militia members who had any grain of medical knowledge to try to help the injured.
