“My lads should be able to take it from here, Vikstone. Valiance Keep is built to take a beating far worse than this. I worry about our farmlands and mine in Farshire, however. We sent a full detachment to protect our mining operations right before the invasion – they should be able to defend the civilians. Gerald Green’s in charge of the villagers there.
There’s a passage out of the northern wall out of Valiance Keep; it’ll take you straight to him. See what you can do to help them.”

protect the mining operations right before the invasion. They should be able to defend the civilians. Gerald Green’s in charge of the villagers. See what you can do to help them.”
The passage through the northern wall opened onto farmland. Fields. A mine, the kind of quiet place that wars consume first.
Gerald Green met me at the edge of the village, relief plain on his weathered face. “You’re here to help? You’re just in time then.”
Just in time. Those words never meant anything good.
Green’s relief lasted about as long as his first sentence, and then he started listing what had gone wrong, beginning with Military? What Military?
