Chapter 596 - Phantoms

Conquering a city was nowhere near as simple as the villages.  While it had fallen in less than a night, the true logistical nightmare had just begun.

Once the slaves were freed, they had smashed their pens and started a slaughter while the Two Rivers invaded.  Their forces also included many freed slaves.  Lind did not approve of cruelty but he had no mercy for the wholly corrupted natives of Dar.

Still, he was glad to see that babies and very small children were spared if very frightened.  Briel and Benny were put in charge of those as they were the first true children they had come across since they invaded months ago.

The one plus of taking the city was the resources they badly needed for their ever growing army.

Those that chose not to fight, or could not, had been sent back on a safe path to the Two Rivers Empire.  The remaining Minister Council was running the empire in his absence.
