The Order of Eternal Blade spent the next three days carrying out the mission of clearing the remaining enemy forces scattered throughout the occupied territories before finally receiving orders to return toward the main army camp, and during those three days they continuously searched villages, forests, abandoned settlements, and hidden routes while capturing enemy soldiers who had become separated from their main forces.
Behind them marched the prisoners they had captured throughout the operation.
The enemy soldiers had all been disarmed and stripped of every piece of military equipment they possessed, and in order to prevent any confusion or possible escape attempts, they had been made to wear simple commoner clothing before being placed under constant guard.
Under the watchful eyes of the knights, the prisoners quietly marched behind the formation while keeping their heads lowered.
