Karl blinked his eyes as he saw the Lizard host turn around and simply walk away from the battle. Confused, he kept staring at them as they walked away from the badly damaged empire army. It was only when his men came riding to him that he managed to recover himself. Franz rode at the head of the knights.
"Karl, good to see you made it through alive. We all thought you had been destroyed by those foul magics the Slann worked on you. By Ulric, I'm glad to see you alive."
"Those magics weren't from the Slann. They were made by one of our own. The wizard there tried to get me close enough to that Slann to kill him. Unfortunatly, we didn't know about the kroxigor that was guarding that toad. Nearly got me killed, you know."

"I'll never reject such an offer. Last one to get to the camp is a sigmarite!"
With these words, Karl mounted the horse his men had brought for him and started to gallop back towards the camp...

Then he suddenly saw something green moving through the mass of troops on the battlefield. When he looked better, he could see that there were five hunters moving towards him. Only five, he corrected himself....

Erik opened his eyes as the sound of battle suddenly ceased around him. When he listened better, he could still hear people speaking the tongue of the empire, but he could also hear the presence of Lizardmen around him. As he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a vision of destruction. The entire valley was littered with dead bodies, both lizard and men. There was no one still standing anywhere near him, only corpses and wounded men. Fear gripped Erik when he noticed that there were many more human corpses than lizard bodies. This must mean they had lost the battle...
