When the retreating battalions of Taris Army returned to their temporary headquarters, all they found were bodies lying in the ground, assassinated in cold blood. Most of them were devastated by the current situation but still put on an uncaring face. (or rather, they had learnt to fend for themselves as quickly as possible.) After all, everyone could be resurrected once more but that did not mean that it did not reduce the morale of the troops that were retreating.
They were not aware whether the ambushers were able to catch up on them or the ambushers were merely waiting to see the reaction of the retreated battalion who returned to their headquarters. But the moment the Horned Bear Knights tried to dismount to search for any survivors, explosive arrows were sent flying across the trees and into the headquarters' ground.
