On the day Zaos and his unit were supposed to arrive at the Western base, he noticed something. He didn't find a single soldier in the villages and towns along the way. He couldn't believe that those places had been abandoned or the soldiers who were supposed to protect those had deserted. It wouldn't be weird to hear about desertion, but he was almost sure the commander had called everyone to protect the western base. After all, once they lose that, they wouldn't be able to recover anytime soon, and a good part of that region was as good as the enemies.
Around noon, Zaos and his unity finally could see the western base, and it was weird how much the place looked like the base in the north. It was basically a copy… Zaos never got that interested in the history of those places, but now he was pretty sure that they had been built in the same period and, most likely, by the same king.
