The new arrivals did, indeed, turn out to be one of the splinter groups of the Erebus Field survivors. There were many more people in their caravan than in Sunny's caravan, but none of the soldiers held a higher military rank than him, the most senior officer among them being an Awakened lieutenant named Carin.
Needless to say, there were no Masters among them, either.
So… ironically, he ended up being in charge again.
Sunny had been responsible for six Awakened and two civilians after leaving Lo49, which suited him fine. Then, more than three hundred refugees and several dozens of mundane soldiers joined them.
Those numbers seemed like a joke now.
