When the rebel army's decrees were being implemented everywhere, bringing joy and laughter throughout the temporary camp, there was only one place that remained quiet.
This place was located on the western side of the camp, facing the direction of the Alde Tribe, between the inner and outer camps, surrounded by a moat and wooden fence, and sandwiched between the Inner Camp Guard's tent area, the outer camp's First Legion, and the new recruits' rest area.
Inside lived the four thousand captured Pannonian warriors, who were escorted daily to construct the camp, working from dawn until nightfall, exhausted to near death. Upon their return, the food they received was not enough to fill them, forcing them to lie down early to rest to avoid excessive exhaustion.
But they had no tents to rest in; the rebel army merely marked areas on the ground, with ten people lying on a piece of bare land, covered with dry straw, lying down in their clothes, surprisingly soft.
