Chapter 55: Military

The sun had already gone down when the military escort finally arrived in Losla, carrying torches and orbs, which formed a small worm of light moving through the forest. Many of them were weary from the journey. Some soldiers brought poor attitudes with them as they were behind schedule after having to fight a treant hectopede in the forest. It wasn’t necessarily a hard creature to kill; it was more that it was hard to catch.

The military escort was quite small, as they had only stopped at two other villages before coming to Losla, though the soldiers with them were enough to deal with things in the forests.

Currently, the escort was made up of ten soldiers being regularly hounded by two officers, and following them like lost sheep were all the adventurers who joined them from the previous two villages.

There were about twenty of the new recruits so far, most of them looking weary from the journey, too.
