The Sandpeople who were still on the offensive had never expected the situation to change so drastically. Some of them, slower of wits, had not even noticed that something was off yet.
In the back, most of the ritual personnel were wiped out, with only a few Sandpeople who had accompanied the army still alive. The rear was completely sealed off by Griffins and Griffin Knights, and the route was impassable.
On the other hand, there were even more Sand Snakes in the back, not simply blocking the rear but also spreading to surround the front. Some Sandpeople who had noticed the unfavorable circumstances were already trying to flee from the battlefield.
At this moment, a great uproar suddenly erupted from the direction of the forest.
Everyone turned their heads to look, noticing a group of disheveled Sandpeople emerging from the forest. The Sandpeople within the forest had finally realized something was wrong and someone must have issued a retreat signal directly.
