It was a few hours until midnight and the battle between Rowan's soldiers and the monster had just ended — quite fortunately, to be honest.
At this moment, the survivor soldiers were seated on the ground of the bloodied battlefield with tired expressions while breathing fast to catch their breath.
Most of the soldiers could be seen sitting beside their dead colleagues, crying. While a few sat alone with traumatized expressions.
Those who came so close to death could not believe their eyes and kept replaying the scene in their head over and over again.
Thoughts like — what if I couldn't move, what if I lost balance and fell down, what if my sword wasn't fast enough to counterattack? — ran through their mind every seconds.
While the soldiers were busy contemplating, Rowan and the captains who were badly injured stood and observed the battlefield with calm but troubled expressions.
