“Generally we track the progress from the 11th garrison at the receiving end through

“As soon as the lookout at the Garrison reported it, we mobilized a force to intercept

and conduct reconnaissance in the area. We knew that it meant nothing good as there

was no trace of the guards or the convoy that they were supposed to be attached to,

in concern.

“Yes, Sir. Although they couldn’t proceed too far in the air into the ravine because of

the winds, they swept the area closest to them. We a*s*sumed that at least one side

would be able to recapture any escapees or a*s*sist in bringing things back under
