Under the dark sky, amidst the jagged, battle-scarred landscape of Zaar, the 7th Division stood over the broken body of the Black Sun's knight leader.
To newer division members, Baines' brutal interrogation was shocking, but to the old members who had seen it previously, it was better than the last. At least he gave up early.
His tortured confessions revealed two critical leads: the third city, Sunscorch, and the second was on a merchant company named Millers.
With no more to offer, Baines left the knight leader to bleed out, his death a silent testament to his ruthlessness and brutality.
No one commented on Baines' actions, though the weight of his brutality hung heavy, but they were faced with a pivotal decision.
In a situation like this, where there was a cascading turn of events, the division leader could decide whether to continue or return.
