There's no way to predict war, especially one fought while shrouded in never settling dust with no way to recognize your fellow man of the same side. The good thing was that Dhairgi were just too distinct from humans, so identification was not a problem. However, the battlefield had quickly extended to cover grounds even out the outpost ground.
