A dark air and heavy mood covered the town as the soldiers dragged themselves through the gates to safety, their numbers being far less than what they initially set out with.
Every returning solider sported some level of injury, none were left unmarred by the battle. Frost aided Bagua and another member of his squad through the gates, their clothes and armours splintered and covered in blood. Hard to believe any of them came out victorious with their current states.
Only Vaccos who triumphantly arrived from the sky and crushed the second rindar could be seen in a grand light. The mad iron chef who felt the heavy and hopeful stares of the soldiers and adventurers grabbed hold of the rindar's carcass and dragged it behind him as the gates closed shut once more and the small reserve of relief soldiers took over.
