Charlotte Meklen had crossed into the Fars Empire, seeking only to become a civil servant in a different continent. She wasn't a combatant... But who would have thought that even clerical staff would end up on the battlefield!
On the tenth day of Charles's occupation of Dubrovnik, a proper Beastman army appeared outside the city.
The army was led by an Elephant Man who was extremely irritable, growling lowly. His troops were mostly Elephant People, with some other Beastmen. Oddly, these were not aggressive Beastmen; they looked timid and were dressed in tattered clothes.
The Elephant Man stood below the city walls, bellowing loudly, "I am Argon! The sovereign of the Elephant People. Give us food, we want to return to the Southern Continent."
Charles glanced at the Beastmen and feeling puzzled, shouted loudly, "Are you not cannibals?"
Argon roared, shouting, "I am not a cannibal; I am tired of war. I want to return to the Southern Continent."
Charles waved his hand and shouted, "Enter the city!"
