The Army of The Republic, not four miles from Sarna, and The First United Army.

Ansted buttoned his jacket, Walson you've been a fair man, thus far. Don't think I didn't notice those soldiers helping my wounded. You have a fine Army, you should be proud, Sir. Ansted we know when an Army is beat, we carry no grudges against any soldier, only those that break the rules of War Sir. Well, Ansted, my horse is just ahead, I need to ride on ahead. Only about three more miles. I'll see you at Garden City Walson.

Walson rode through a few detachments of Carolina and Virginia soldiers and Rangers. Sarna and her Command sat waiting. Walson nodded then pointed they are only but, two miles away.
We had no problems this morning or along the way. Sarna smiled, great General, please we have a chair for you. Sit while we wait. Feels good to sit, I walked some with them, this Ansted seems like a real leader. Ben said yes, he is a true soldier. That is mine and Sarna's thinking. Sarna looked around at her Leaders, only I shall stand when they arrive.
This I want, not out of disrespect but, they also must know all of them, they surrendered.

Sarna stood she could see them coming, thinking still an orderly group. Moving like soldiers. Let's hope we get decent information from them. General Ansted, you believe out of the other two,
thought you were beaten? No, the other two didn't want to admit it. Sarna, Commanders of all Armies present, I surrender to you myself and my command! Very well, General my Commanders Jacob Parson, Commander of Army of Carolina and Virginia, you've met Louse, Colonel Garret, Elder Lana, Ranger Captain Chad of Ohio, of course, General, Walson. I expect my troops will be treated properly, as for myself, if you propose charges, I accept them. Charges no, General I plan no such thing. All I ask is for you to answer a few questions.

You do have the right to give only name rank unit and what army. The same goes for your troops. You and the rest will be transferred to Bama, where you will be held in the Wetlands.
The Seminoles will teach you how to farm and convert the land to be dry. It is not forced labor but, away to feed and care for yourselves. Be grateful Sir, we have no other way to feed you.
When this war is over, they have said you can stay on become part of the Land of Bama and the Seminoles.

This is far more than I hoped, my men and I will work to provide for ourselves and those that help.
Have your men, move to those tents to our left.
They will be looked over, fed allowed rest. We won't be moving until tomorrow. General, I'll be sending for you later today, think you'll recognize some of the people you'll see. Thank you good day.
Sarna walked away.

What is a Republic? They call themselves The Republic, are they truly a Republic? Will giving them an opportunity to farm stay on and live, keep them from wanting to escape? Are they a Republic? They do have the right to elect the Assembly and Senate,
To make Laws and Govern. Would a true Republic kill innocent civilians or not take prisoners of war.
Have a Chosen, entitled, and food chain.

I know a very short chapter, I didn't want to leave you hanging. One last thought why will Sarna send for Ansted later? Vote comment thanks for reading.
