Rounding up

"Report?"

The soldier was on one knee, currently shocked by Eloise's appearance.

Her face was covered in blood, and she had an expression that was beyond cold. Whatever had just transpired must have been truly horrifying.

"General, some villagers escaped and there's no way to bring them back as they've already fled into the forest. However, we still managed to round up 800 of them. As for the enemy soldiers, they've all been dealt with. I'm also happy to report that we suffered no casualties"

Eloise's hard stance softened, truly happy about this news.

This was one of the most dreadful thing any general had to face during their careers, but today, she had successfully avoided it.

Still, she knew that such luck wouldn't last long, but she was grateful for this reprieve.
