The pursuit north consumed the rest of the day, and Sakh'arran did not approve of it.
The commander's objection was not personal. It was arithmetic. An army that pursued beyond its own supply line was an army that had traded one problem for another, and the Horde's logistics train, however well-organized, however carefully stocked before the march, could not sustain a running advance indefinitely.
The supply wagons were crossing the North Bridge as fast as the stone span's width permitted, the drivers pushing their teams hard to close the gap between the main body and the forward warbands. But there was a physics to supply that no amount of discipline could fully overcome, and Sakh'arran had spent enough years studying operational logistics to understand exactly where the edges of that physics lay.
Khao'khen agreed with the logic and pushed anyway.
