Unlike Chris, Art had put up a decent resistance to the Hungry Hog's beating. But in the end, it still hadn't been enough. At least his effort had been admirable, so his corpse was treated with a little more dignity as the Rider carried it to the side before returning to his mount.
But with Art's defeat, only Micah, Rego, and Ystris remained as viable fighters that could object to the Hungry Hogs Corps procession. Kairon and the others had been covered in the corpse recovery mist that brought humans back to the afterlife, but they weren't back on their feet yet. They couldn't return for another round.
Well, Baldas was also there, and since he could fly, he might be able to distract the Rider chose to be his opponent for quite a while. But the Hungry Hogs might deem Baldas' aerial advantage unfair. They might refuse to accept the duel or even let the Rider use long-range weapons.
