Chapter 207
Whoooosh.
A desolate wind swept through the rugged mountain range where, only a few hours before, Balkanian banners had been flying.
"......"
The Mekerel soldiers who arrived there witnessed something deeply strange. Every one of them held their breath and stared at the scene before them.
"What on earth happened here?"
"It looks like... like a ghost swept through."
The garrison's communication lines, ammunition stores, weapons, and food warehouses, along with all the other military supplies and equipment, had been left perfectly intact. Only the enemy soldiers had been turned into corpses, scattered across the road.
There was no need for confusion, though. The orders that had come down from Mekerel high command were brief.
"Occupy the garrison and capture the remaining weapons to build a defensive line. Maintain absolute silence regarding what you have witnessed."
