Surprise

 Zaos couldn't believe his ears, and he blinked several times. Maybe that was all just a dream since that was way too weird. First, he had to fight and kill some creepy guys last night who used the bones of his fallen comrades to craft weapons. Now he had to protect and fight for a city under siege? That was insane…

"Sir, did I hear wrong?" Zaos asked.

"... Go to the armory and stop wasting time," Elius furrowed his eyebrows.

 The soldiers were quickly entering the armory, getting what they wanted and leaving, so Zaos squad's turn quickly came, so they did the same, and after that, they headed to the southern entrance. Upon reaching there, Zaos found most of all other squads of rookies. Meanwhile, the few veterans that still were on the base were heading West with horses. After ten minutes, all the new squads were there. So, Elius decided to give a proper explanation.
