(Desmond POV)
Four days had passed since the invasion day, a tribute to the dead that became a festival of death and mourning. The invading forces of Kormat bathed the city's streets in blood, bringing with them a trail of pain that would take too long to fade.
From what I hear, Kormat did not get the lightning victory they expected, all due to the decisive intervention of the church in the fighting inside the city. However, the royal knights also played an important role.
I hated to admit it, but the church was more capable than I thought. At least they played their cards very well during the previous conflict and burned a massive amount of funds on the war effort, something unexpected but well received by the royal family.
You cunning bastards, I was pretty sure the church had something to do with how Kormat's army so easily infiltrated the city. Still, given the church's dazzling role during the invasion, it was unlikely anyone would ever suspect them.
