The dragons left!
Even the three dragons that had been wounded took to the skies with the help of their companions. They disappeared on the horizon without even looking back.
None of the dragons turned to explain the situation to the witcher-knights and naturally none of them tried to help the knights retreat.
The resolve of the witcher-knights instantly crumbled when they saw the dragons take to the sky and leave. Be it the two abandoned dragon knights, or the numerous wounded witcher-knights, all they could do was stare wide-eyed as the cruel reality unfolded before them.
Their past glory and valor was now scattered to the winds, never to be regained!
A deep and rumbling horn rang out, signaling the surviving knights to finally start their retreat!
For a moment the entire forest was filled with the frantic witcher-knights, fleeing like hounds that had lost their homes.
