The commotion woke the last few remaining soldiers, who were just as shocked as Hal to find that they, too, had rested quite well.
Unbeknownst to them, they've been allowed to sleep for a little over nine hours.
The older men realized that everyone had woken as well, and since it was about time for them to move anyway, Cedar stood up and took the chance to announce:
"Medics, come and prepare the rations, we shall eat and rehydrate before returning to the sealed entrance," the middle-aged man instructed, his voice carried by the stale wind to every Imperial Army Wizard.
Hal, meanwhile, returned to Ennya's side.
His help would apparently only be needed for the next meal. He shall stay with his platoon for now.
There wasn't much preparation to be done, so everyone merely waited for the meals and drinks to be distributed.
A few minutes later, the medics started handing out packets of nutritious and filling pastes with a bit of meat.
