Unexpected Development Part 1

The inhabitants of the town of Eal were either at home at that hour, or a certain part of them were on duty due to work. Town soldiers, customs soldiers who were at the entrances of each town, blacksmiths who made weapons for the army, and various groups like these worked as morning and night workers.

The war periods had been over for 2 years and the goal of progress had not been set in this short period. The "policy of closing losses" was applied, the main reason for giving it this name was the great losses caused by the inhabited lands. So much so that in the Magdalirus Wars, the army had experienced a loss of about 680 thousand soldiers -which can be recorded. During the pause period before the war, people and other groups were confronted with reasons such as hunger, thirst, medicine. The fact that these situations happened, the different races living in the territory were angry with each other, started attacks to make plunder. Of course, this had shaken the existing order by the roots, because some issues had gone to places from which there was no return.

Not only the wars of different races, but also the sections of the same race were fighting to survive with each other. Those who crossed swords with each other for a piece of bread, for a sip of water, did not feel uncomfortable at all while doing this. Duhlen remembered those days very well. He took his son and son's big brother and set out with his wife towards the people of Belmin. He knew the risks of the trip, but there was no solution, so he called some of his family friends. They had brought their mercenaries who were under their protection with them, about

it was a group of 10-12 soldiers.

Although they were on their way to the region, unfortunately, the plans sometimes did not go as planned. Just like he didn't leave tonight. "How are we going to get past the customs guards, sir?" said the boy who was running with the horse next to him. Duhlen was already thinking how he would get through, but he did not know, probably because he was on guard at the guards. The worst part of the job was that the town guard regiment had to find Nalor before them.

"Mom, what was that sound? Please, nothing happened to my father, please." The woman who was at home with her two daughters was worried about her husband, who was on duty at the forward end this evening, because the sound was not a good omen. "Girls, go to your room and don't go out. I'm gonna go check on your dad, and I'm sure he's fine." The woman took her daughters by the hand, took them to their rooms, put them to bed. "Take care of your sister and don't have a childhood, both of you. I'll be right back." The woman hastily took something on her, and then took the axe that was standing in the house. Outside, the buzzing had started from other houses as well. Florence jumped on her horse, which was standing at the entrance, and Decamped towards the entrance, out of sight among the stares of people who had just poured in at the gates.

Duhlen and the assistant were a few hundred meters away from arriving at customs. When I turned right on the street ahead, customs would be right ahead, so it was time to tell me your decision. "Kid, my plan is this; we have to get out of here anyway. If they force it, leave it to me. If the problem grows, we will kill the obstacles. There is no other way."

The boy, who was almost the same age as Eorwen, had probably never killed anyone in his life, because the color that had been removed from his face the moment Duhlen said this had completely disappeared now. Then he nodded his head out of necessity. They turned the corner and saw the entrance, the military unit had not arrived yet, they were here before them, which was due to the agility of the boy next to him. "Cover your mouth and nose with your clothes, son. The contents of the gas can be a little jarring," he said, and he also covered his mouth with a cloth. As the distance decreased, Duhlen said a single prayer, "Almighty God, do not separate me from my family." said.
