War came to the steppe, and apparently they aren’t planning to leave. A nasty, unexpected defeat has made the enemy cautious. The aggressors aren’t rushing anywhere—they’re taking over the captured territory and building up strength for a new strike. To win, the rulers of the invaders are ready for anything. They even release bitter enemies from prisons if those are useful in battle.
Well then, if the enemy isn’t in a hurry to come at us, we’ll go to them.
And our methods won’t please the southerners. Bold sabotage, raids on supply convoys, mass raids of entire herds, targeted elimination of officers.
And of course, secret theft of material valuables. Our staff of not-so-law-abiding specialists has just increased.
