First Task Assigned

"Captain Valen, Unit 3 shall remain here and help the villagers travel to the inner lands, then reconvene here or here..." Valoris pointed to two spots on the map. "We'll be setting up a temporary camp to reassess the situation ahead. It seems most of the land from here is lost to the enemy. We'll have to find a way to reach our forces without being attacked..." Valoris issued his orders to the gathered captains, all standing around the table with a detailed map of the forest laid out before them.

Sam and Einar stood a little distance away but heard everything Captain Valoris said clearly. It wasn't a secretive meeting; it was just for the captains. Their unit had been tasked with keeping the village they had found after last night traveling inland from where they were initially ambushed safe.
