A little over a week after we had taken the city of Startown, we received an attack from a group of lesser demons that tried to cross the walls but were quickly taken out and healed by the knights who had been guarding it.
Most of the beastkin soldiers that we cured from their curses had joined our army, which was making our numbers grow by a lot without Zagor knowing it.
Since we had to kill and bring back to life the beastkin when healing their curses, Zagor thought that we were massacring all of the people in the cities and villages. In reality, they were all alive and well, and most of them were going back for revenge.
We were still quite far from the capital, but our objective felt much closer to complete.
When the army occupying the city decided it was time to keep moving, we started to make our way towards the factory of black pearls in the savannah that had been marked by one of the beastkin soldiers we saved.
