By the end of the next day, things had begun to settle down a little, with the army's wounded mostly treated.
There were casualties from the mission, but not so many that it would raise concerns outside of the immediate chain of command. Most of the units had come across swarms of Goblins, and that had allowed them to move the wounded to the back, and not take fatalities.
Only the units who had encountered larger groups of strong monsters, like the units on the eastern flank who had encountered the Yeti Clans, had really suffered.
Dominic had taken the opportunity to spend the evening in the Manor's new forge with Alexis, a questionably romantic evening of weapon repair and armour polishing spent mostly in silence.
Still, it was a good break, and nobody bothered them as they worked to get their equipment back into top shape.
