War breaks out in the far north, as the Empire's oppression of the mountain people results in a terrifying backlash. With the one competent leader in the Northern Garrison assassinated, the ignorant garrison commander flings the troops headlong into a highly defended, mountainous position, with disastrous results.

but we're not people they would keep waiting.

a quienes hacer esperar.
pero no somos personas
a quienes hacer esperar.

che farebbero aspettare.

 ждать не заставляют.
