The Blood and Iron Brigade was an army that comprised exclusively of the most battle-hardened veterans and stone-faced warriors.
They underwent a uncompromising training regime that stripped away all mortal weakness, molding them into cold, perfectly disciplined killing machines.
The moment the Brigade was stationed at the mines, the losses stopped completely.
It was as if an impenetrable, blood-soaked iron wall had been erected around the mountain range.
Bandits who attempted to sneak into the valley were captured, tortured for information, and impaled along the mountain passes as warning markers.
Mercenary strike teams sent by foreign nobles vanished into the mist.
Internal corruption was purged with merciless efficiency with corrupt overseers executed on the spot.
The once-treacherous mountain range had been transformed into an absolute dead-man's zone.
To step onto the Holyfield mining grounds without explicit authorization was not a crime; it was an act of suicide.
