Serres

"What do you think, Khalid?" Abraham took his mask off stopping his horse next to Khalid and asked. 

"We cannot lay siege to the city, it is not a job for us." Khalid replied massaging his horse's manes. "We have done enough for this battle, lets call it a day and head back." 

However, Abraham seems to have some other thoughts feeling that he ought to at least try some thing before he goes, if not it is just a waste of time and effort embarking on such a long distance travel all for nothing but capturing a few Ottoman prisoners. With this in mind he turned back with out saying a word to his troops pulling Khalid along side with him, calling for a commander's meeting while the rest of the troops have a rest eating rations, and the horses having a taste of bitter dried hays.
