[QUOTE="Jago, post: 6904219, member: 6855130"] Silas, for his part, was eager to hear the news. A new contract meant money, money meant food and more, and that kept the troops happy. Mercenaries were simple creatures, he had found in over five years of service: so long as they received their silver, they would march to the ends of the West and whatever lay beyond that.

In truth, Silas was rather nervous that they had turned down such an offer: Patroklos paid, and paid [I]well[/I]. He was powerful in the East, and a right bastard on top of all of that.

[COLOR=#339966] " Even Garret, if such a thing were possible.

Bitter over the setback, Garret was all too happy to drop his dice game and prepare a patrol around their camp to join Lieutenant Hermias and his men in doing the same. All around, the camp was becoming more lively as the news spread to every unit: A fort to be taken. Gold and glory to be won. A new patron, and a new war. The Wolf began to growl, for it sensed the hunt was closing in. [/QUOTE]
