Hamen made his way back to the command tent where General Remin was stationed.
The large canvas structure stood apart from the others, marked by the imperial standards that fluttered in the morning breeze.
Two guards flanked the entrance, their postures stiffening as Hamen approached. They recognised him as the Count of Godeylet and stepped aside, allowing him entry without challenge.
He made his wyvern and the rest of the beasts stay aside, a little away from the campsite.
Hamen walked into the tent.
Inside, Remin hunched over a table strewn with maps and reports. His weathered face was drawn with concentration as he assessed the aftermath of the battle. Casualty reports, damage assessments, and strategic considerations all demanded his attention.
The general glanced up briefly as Hamen entered.
"Jolthar has left," Hamen announced without preamble. "The Matriarch of Blue Rose and the Dragon Queen departed with him."
