After a while, Zaos had enough mana to make the pain he was feeling in his left shoulder decrease by using Heal. Despite that, it would take a few days before he can take away the bandage and move his left arm properly. And that was an excellent outcome, considering the wound he received.
Unfortunately, Zaos and the other recruits only discovered what Elius meant by that when two groups of three hundred soldiers sandwiched the mercenaries from two fronts. They didn't notice because they arrived just a few minutes before they crossed the gate, but they were his reinforcements. Because they didn't know that the reinforcements would arrive at such a time, they managed to fool and trap all the mercenaries that could pose a problem inside the town. As for the others, they were too wounded to fight and retreated once and for all from the battlefield once they realized that another force completely rested arrived on the battlefield.
