Get the men moving

Getting the men back into their armor and in formation takes about five minutes. All the men (including you) are a little embarassed at how little control they had. These are not barbarians from the north who can barely stay in formation let alone follow orders, this squad was picked because of their ability to do the impossible. You are the best men in the combined armies of Hellopolis and you never fail to complete a mission.

The only good thing about this is that the thick foliage of the garden kept the Riders from seeing precisely what had happened. Everyone of your men looks ready for action.

"What about them?" Asks one of them gesturing to the naked women staring at you with dazed looks on their faces.

"We'll have to leave them. No time to tie them up, and even if we did some other men could find them before we get back." Its a shame really, in addition to the beautiful young slaves the mother and daughter would have been worth quite a bit on the **** block, either redeemed by their family or bought by men who delight in knowing that their lastest bed **** was once a proud noblewoman from the once arrogant city of Athenapolis."

"Lets find that tower men. If we are quick, we can try to find our way back and claim this as our base." Several of the men nod in agreement and then you add" Of course this neighborhood is full of rich prizes, we may do just as well by climbing some other wall." Every one grins at that thought and you head out the gate looking for a way to the south tower.

As you step out into a narrow street you look up and wave at three Riders who are circling above the estate. When they see your wave they all turn in formation and fly off slowly ahead of you.

"Looks like the bastards want us to follow them Captain" says your squad sargent, and you have to agree with him.
