BACHUÉ:
Yes, we had won, for the time being. The southern alliance deployed to the abandoned town and burned all the houses. It was horrible. A wall of smoke and ash rose on the horizon.
No house was left standing.
The invaders' fury was matched only by their cruelty.
Duke Soto and his advisers stated that now the soldiers of the southern alliance would rest and rethink their strategy to take the Kristala. Especially now that Prince Huescar had been seriously wounded in combat.
Everyone wondered if Lord Huescar had survived. We would soon find out.
That gave us time to evaluate all our options as well.
The faces of the refugee commoners said it all. They were worried, afraid, angry. They had been forced to leave their homes and now the entire town had been reduced to ashes.
It certainly wasn't fair to them.
