Upon receiving the orders, the soldiers began to retreat while still engaging in combat.
Using the wagons as shields, they tangled with the goblins.
Gradually, the situation on the battlefield shifted again.
After cutting down a goblin, the leading knight took a breath.
The once dense crowd of goblins had noticeably thinned.
The battle was nearing its end - or so the knight thought.
Suddenly, a piercing horn echoed from the forest behind them.
"Honk, honk, honk!"
Above the forest, a shadow as dark as a cloud appeared, accompanied by a chaotic shouting.
This black cloud swooped down from the sky, launching an attack on the Empire's soldiers.
"Bats... It's the bats!" Some soldiers couldn't help but cry out.
Meanwhile, a massive army of Orcs swarmed up from the ground, ripping a hole through the ranks of the Empire's troops almost instantly.
