Rastaban stood overlooking the battlefield, blood-spattered grass and strewn with enemy bodies. Rastaban wanted to behead them and display them on pikes around his camp, but he couldn’t afford to delay.

“We will take our spoils from those she-demons,” Rastaban said. “But first, we must rally more troops.”

“More, sir?”

Rastaban sheathed his sword. “As many as we can get.”
