Tristan had just won his first battle against the elves, and he couldn't help but feel good about that. It was such a good experience for him, as he ultimately had an opportunity to fight a group of elite fighters and strong magicians and even came out on top of them as the winner.
Unfortunately, Tristan's forces didn't succeed unscathed as there were several losses from his side as well.
From the more than a hundred orcs that he brought for this endeavor, he was left with 48 grunts and 22 champions. In addition, some of those who survived suffered severe injuries and fatal wounds.
In this one battle, more than 50 orcs breathed their last and would never be seen again. However, considering the 50 elves they defeated, Tristan should still count this as a win.
