How do you stop Pillage in progress?

I send my army to the location but seem unable to stop the pillaging once starteed. Can you assist? Thanks!

kill the army pillaging the building first,

then you will have to wait for a specified number of turns before it returns back to normal

Gotcha. But I don't physically see any army to kill off. Just the pillage counter. Any ideas?

Thanks much!

It's possible the pillaging army is stealthed or camoflaged. In that case a nearby watchtower, a hero equipped with the detection accessory or having an army next to the pillagers would be needed to reveal the blighters.

I find it's often possible to stop the pillage without killing them by moving up an army that could splat them. The AI often has the sense to run off, which avoids the diplomatic hit if that is a concern.

Understood. Thanks everybody.
