Back on the western continent, the last of the northern Kolieans had arrived back at their settlement, the atmosphere though was anything but calm.
"We demand answers! We were so close to victory!"
"What is the meaning of this?! Did our brothers fall for nothing!"
"This is a mistake! Allow us to return to battle!"
One after another, the voices of unhappy male Koliean warriors echoed through the settlement.
One had to understand that their efforts against the scattered beast mongers although short, were brutal and tragic.
Many lives were lost in the campaign to subjugate these scattered Koliean warriors, and now when they were so close, the council demanded they return.
Their rage was understandable, after all, it was the same council that sent the order to start the campaign to unite the entire Koliean population.
