The rescuing of the prisoners and getting them back to their own lands involved many months. The Lamanite invasion began in the second month but now it was toward the end of the year.
Now we get a full report on the devastating attack which the Lamanites had made against Ammonihah. It had been a genocidal attack designed to kill every living thing in the city and in the general region. It had been such a strong city with a large population of all those who believed in Nehor's apostate church that the people believed no military force could overthrow it. But it was totally demolished and its Nehor population slaughtered in a single day.
