A line of torches orderly crossed a pontoon bridge wide enough for only three people to walk side by side. Although night had already fallen, the orders were strictly enforced, leaving no hesitation in their movements. If one stopped to tie their shoelaces, a single life would be extinguished for that delay. All of the Kilghina soldiers crossing now all understood this.
On the far side of the river, lights rivaling those on this side could be seen, but they were faint and narrow. Unlike the bonfires here, the flames on the other side were torches. A massive army of the Papal States was present, still engaging the rearguard of the Kilghina soldiers. Most of the army had already completed their crossing, and now they only waited for the rearguard to finish.
I moved through the Kilghina forces that had finished crossing, heading for the main camp where Gin was stationed. The moment the encampment transitioned from the waiting royal guards to the Kilghina army, the smell of blood filled the air. This wasn’t the scent of pristine soldiers in unblemished uniforms, but the stench of men who had just survived a blood-soaked battle. The men sighed in relief, glad to have made it here. The uninjured collapsed onto the ground, while the wounded sought medical treatment. Those with severe injuries seemed to have been gathered elsewhere, as I didn’t see any here.
