The knights cheered victory. These knights from Jisoleox Duchy had proudly formed ranks, eager to enter the fortress and display their might, intending to warn those peasants that betrayal would face the most terrifying punishment.
However, upon truly entering the fortress, the scene before them left the knights agape.
The fortress was filled with corpses, peasants' corpses, those rebellious peasants lay dead, strewn carelessly, covering the ground within the fortress, slain, starved, frozen, visible everywhere.
