"What? Pyke died?" Minos asked in shock, not expecting that one of his oldest and strongest soldiers had died while he was traveling through the region.
Abby nodded to him, still holding one of his hands. "Yes. Shortly before the Cohen family troops arrived in Yellow City, that post suffered a massive attack from our enemies."
"That day, Lieutenant Pyke fell on the battlefield while fighting for the Black Plain."
Upon hearing this, Minos closed his eyes, remembering the day he had met Pyke. "So, that's what happened..." He lamented in a low voice, feeling bad that this person who had been by his side for so many years had died so suddenly.
Many soldiers of the Black Plain Army had died since the beginning of the war of independence. However, as much as Minos mourned these losses, most of these individuals were people he barely knew.
