You leave the wood and make your way across open fields to a farm at the edge of the town. Here, among the outbuildings of this deserted property, you make a shocking discovery. The burnt remains of men, women, and children are heaped in small mounds all over the farmyard. Open trenches, containing fire-blackened bones and skulls, have been dug in lines behind the farmhouse, and cattle carcasses fill the ditches which border the muddy road into the town. You detect no life at all; not even a bird or lowly farm animal wanders freely here.
