Bab 69: Hamilcar's Expedition 1

The Southern Army, the dumping ground of the Eclipse Empire's military, where the weakest, most cowardly soldiers are discarded, where the most incompetent officers whose sole qualifications are their parent's names were shipped off to. Where the most lazy, corrupt and inept generals were abandoned.

That was the army that would form the bulk of the invading force of Hamilcar's campaign south of the Hadrian Mountains. An utterly unacceptable fact for the ancient demon, who finally after a near millennium of torturous peace, has the chance to truly sink his teethe into and savor a long and bloody war.

But nothing, in his many eons of existence could have prepared him for what he saw when he first reached the Broken Gate Fortress, the home base of the Southern Army, as well as the greatest military structure in the south of the empire.
