Karl led Dana to the far wall of the city as the team spread out, replacing the guards, who were eagerly awaiting their relief teams, though they all looked half dead.
Sometimes in the literal sense.
They had been healed, but Karl saw that many had damaged auras, marking damage to their life force or possibly their minds after the battle.
They were mostly Overlords and Totems, so a prolonged fight against monsters above their rank had been more than they could take, and now all that they wanted was to hide in bed for a week and forget it had ever happened.
That was perfect for Karl and Dana, as it let them send out the Dark Elven Kings to patrol the wall, while the lesser Golems and the Epic Guards assisted.
There was nobody else along that side of town until a few more dragons arrived to settle in for a rest, so they could spend a bit of quality time together, just relaxing with nothing to do but wait, and laugh at Rae's mental narrative as she hunted Crocolisks.
