After journeying to the point that Audrey's mouth felt like sawdust, the carriage finally stopped moving. This time, she didn't wait for Damien to help her down. As soon as Damien got down from the carriage, Audrey followed behind, steadying her feet so as not to fall.
She could also see Mia and the crown prince coming down with the commanders, also using the other carriages. After the monster attack, it seemed no one was comfortable waiting in the carriage while they were still in the monsters' territory.
"We are almost out of the monsters' territory. We can't just keep going without paying respect to the dead and treating the injured." Damien explained.
Audrey nodded.
The soldiers started digging the ground to bury the dead.
There were five dead soldiers, but some of the soldiers burst into tears in respect for their colleagues, while the women who had followed were not allowed anywhere close to the dead.
The injured soldiers were placed in the opposite direction.
