August 1840 CE
The war party had literally burned one city to the ground.
They had taken over three thousand horses and mules, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of other plunder, ranging from silver to cloth and mirrors.
Unfortunately for the war party, the sheer volume of loot had slowed them down, and made them vulnerable to attack from a militia that otherwise would never have caught them.
Equally, the militia had missed an opportunity to destroy the bulk of the raiding party when they concentrated on recovering and dividing the recovered bullion and other plunder.
