A news that shocked a Major

After their travel, they would reach the outpost in 3 days but the march was not a long straight march. Artirian gave them 3 hours of rest every 5 miles of their march. It was already midday when they reached the outpost. Once they reached the outpost the Major and his Lieutenant was shocked to see Artirian Platoon in one piece.

"How are they alive? Did you say that the force that was in that village was around 80 Barbarians?" then the lieutenant would reply "Yes, Sir.". They have already assumed that when Artirians platoon attacked one of those villages, Artirians platoon would be annihilated by the Barbarians but because of Artirian prowess and intelligence they survived.
