Kalliope sniffed the air. Other than blood and dust, there wasn't much else around the area of interest. The blood was from their battle with a supply group that was trying to provide relief to Alorek forces outside Fort Sella.
A few weeks had passed since Alorek initiated their attack on the kingdom of Eroa and the human kingdoms simultaneously. Their forces were at least five to even ten times higher than was estimated thanks to their tactic of replacing a whole city of people with soldiers in plain clothes.
However, Fort Sella's walls were strong and the forces of the Gray Wolf Clan that manned it were both tough and tenacious. The first attack was quick and unexpected and they lost a large number of men and many of their scouting and vanguard forces.
