"Your country is no longer completely overrun. There are some Dark Empire soldiers left, but thousands were killed by some rock trolls persuaded by the prince, who also killed many. There were a lot of them gathered around a burnt out house with the wizard Scorch as a prisoner, almost all of them are dead.
"Basically, you have few soldiers left, the Dark Empire have few soldiers left and the trolls have returned to their home.
"If you wish, our elite unit, which I am currently in command of since the prince is away, can go to your country with you, and maybe the regualar army too, but that might not be immediatley necessary.

"What is your decision?"
