“The 12th Garrison?” Adam asked, his expression one of deep thought, “How were

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

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.

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

control but…” Greyson trailed off and licked his lips, a haunted look in his eyes as he
