The forces of Miliim burst from Mlinzjia and conquered the ill-prepared D'Casta within the hour. Conquering the city, though, proved easier than holding it against assailing forces. After fifteen days of siege, Murtay Mhiina gave the order to retreat through the tunnels. To cover this retreat, he had his dragon Dhahbuaes unleash torrents of acid upon the sieging armies and reduce the city walls to corroded rubble. The dragon could only safely complete one pass, as archers and ballistae sought to bring Dhahbuaes down. One sweep was all it took to buy time for a retreat, however, and Miliim began the long march back to Suorr through Mlinzjia, killing any who attempted to follow them. It was unfortunate that they could not hold the ground they'd taken, but they'd made sure it wasn't ground worth the enemy's resources in the process of departing.
