My leg swung at paced intervals as I joined the others in idling around, the comfort of our temporary encampment only growing with each time we got to practice setting it up and making improvements to it.
A week had passed since we had visited Hajar, and upon the return to the capital we were immediately sent back out to quell the invasion happening at another city; this one had been a war of attrition instead of one against another set of elites.
The city was thoroughly in the grasp of the invading Fingers, and the reason it had taken us a handful of days to to reconquer was entirely due to the fact that we needed to keep the citizens alive - for obvious reasons.
They had been turned into hostages and meat shields, and casualties were sadly unavoidable in a situation like that, but we had tried our best to have as few of them as possible as we slowly reclaimed that city for the Sultanate.
