"Why? They're free labor, at least!" Yu Lin Bloodhawk asked in astonishment.
"That good, are they? I've got a bunch too. If you want them, you can have the lot," the Farstriders Commander said with a laugh.
"Oh, forget it, then! Keep them yourself!" Yu Lin Bloodhawk said helplessly. "How did you deal with prisoners of war before?"
"We used to send them all to Gloomlight Mine to dig ore, but we can't anymore. It's full, with nowhere left to put them. We can only keep them under guard in the prisons at our respective camps. Back when you were conducting your tests, I wanted to send a batch over, but Alleria beat me to it," the Farstriders Commander said.
"Doesn't Quel'Thalas have any mines besides Gloomlight Mine?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk asked.
"No! That's the biggest mine in Quel'Thalas, and our main mining site," the Farstriders Commander said.
"Then where am I supposed to put these prisoners?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk asked.
"That's for you to arrange. You're the one who captured them," the Farstriders Commander said with a laugh.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk was troubled. Over six hundred of them. What am I supposed to do? Where do I put them? I've already got over a hundred human bandits on my island that nobody's ransomed. Add another six hundred trolls, and even a mountain of gold would eventually get eaten away. Damn it! I'll have to assign guards too! If I'd known, I wouldn't have taken prisoners. Killing them all would've been so much easier! Then I wouldn't have any of these headaches.
*I'll write a report when I get back and see what the Military Department says. Let them feed the prisoners. Isn't taking prisoners normal in a war? If any of our people get captured, we could keep these
