Zaos frowned since he was about to take a nap, but then he suddenly heard the sound of horses again. He thought the first surprise attack failed because he chose his best archers and used Light in the Darkness on them, but it seemed that the mercenaries didn't learn their lesson. Surprise attacks were useless against Zaos because of that spell. Still, he didn't want to demonstrate to the enemies yet that he could see clearly at night. He wanted to make the enemies think that his soldiers were much better than the mercenaries and make them lose their morale.
When Zaos was about to move with the archers, he noticed that another unit was approaching and that one was heading in their direction. It seemed a bit too soon for that, but since it was a whole unit, Zaos didn't hesitate.
"Retreat!" Zaos shouted.
