The summer dusk descended, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminating the blood-red earth, and the resonant sound of a horn denoted a pause in the ongoing battle.
In the midst of the horn sounding a retreat, the already chaotic Orc Army became even more disordered.
Orc soldiers from different species and tribes began fiercely fighting over the remaining wealth, weapons, and even the corpses of their comrades left on the battlefield.
If the defensive forces chose to attack at this moment, they could surely achieve remarkable results. Unfortunately, the afraid soldiers in the castle had become skittish.
The preceding significant defeat had stripped everyone of their confidence to engage in field battles. Now, they were simply hoping to survive their service period and return home.
This demoralized army could endure until now due to factors like castle defense, but the most important reason was that they had no way to retreat.
