Chapitre 119: Surprise Battle

Kalliope could not hide the skip in her step as they approached the gates of Fort Sella. The trip back took a bit longer than they expected because they had to skirt around a few extra miles to avoid being caught by enemy patrols.

It seemed there had been a few more skirmishes and the Alorek army had gained another two miles of land since she had set out on her task, but it looked to be extremely hard fought. It made her wonder if it was really worth it.

Sure, it was a surprise when they attacked with much stronger forces than anticipated, but compared to all the anxiety surrounding the war leading up to it, Kalliope could not help but feel that it was… underwhelming.

Over the last few weeks though, things had been pretty easy, so she was also aware that her viewpoint might be colored. The reason for that ease? Lucius.
