The River Blockage

They exited with the same feeling they had when they entered. Damian noticed immediately that it was already mid-afternoon. They had probably spent around 13 or 14 hours inside. He was relieved to see that there was no significant time difference between the two locations, another clue that suggested they were somehow connected.

Outside, a couple of soldiers were waiting and approached as soon as they noticed him. No one else was around. Did his soldiers survive? He had told them not to go past the first level, but who knew what they had actually done inside..

"Captain Maximus, Captain Royce has asked for your assistance at the river entrance, sir."

Damian nodded and walked with them back to his camp. He was glad to see that nearly all of the first rankers had returned, busy cleaning themselves. Some were down by the river in the distance. Of course, no one had enough mana to stay out there long without a healer or proper planning.
