Vanity
After the recovery, Sam marched forward to the forest along with the troops, and later, he crossed the forest and went to the city gates that are a kilometer away from the forest.
He only stopped until he reached the city lord's office.
He successfully took over the city and he kept on sending the pigeons until the next day night and the last message has only one line.
"It is hard to maintain the city with just the soldiers."
Back in the military camp when they heard the news and watched the reports that were sent to them, they became ecstatic.
Sam really did the impossible.
This battlefield always ends up in a draw. Both sides could win and both sides didn't want to risk the lives of so many people and would order retreat sooner or later. This was the situation for many years.
There will always be one or two battles that any could win, but no party could take over the other party's city.
