Upon news of the return of the army just a day after they had departed, the streets were packed with silent onlookers, everyone waited with baited breath, nobility and commoners alike stood at the sides of every street watching as the General lead the battered army through the front gates, the celebrations of a day before were nothing more than a memory as the evening sun brought nothing but a sense of doom and defeat.
"What happened to them?"
"Have they already faced demons?"
"What about the heroes, aren't they supposed to be our saviours?"
The questions slowly grew into a respective protest, even in warring times the queen still demanded tax from her Argomites to fund the demon subjugation army, but was this what the advance amounted to?
Defeat after a single day?
