On the fifth day after Baschurten was occupied, the three days of plunder came to an end and things settled down to some degree. The citizens, who had endured immense losses, were relieved that this hell was finally over.
"Return to your livelihoods! There will be no more looting!"
"Your right to make a living is guaranteed in the name of Altringen!"
The crown prince released the large stores of food our forces had secured, taking measures to keep the citizens, who had been stripped of everything, from starving. The carrot after the stick? Still, it was a necessary measure.
In a sense, the crime of treason had been paid for by the three days of plunder. With no further price for the citizens to pay, the crown prince officially issued a pardon to Baschurten.
Now the mercenaries could no longer lay a hand on the citizens of Baschurten. Maintaining public order fell to the Offenburg Knights and the Gale Knights, who had never once taken part in the plunder.
