The battlefield slowly calmed as the order to retreat spread, and although the fighting did not stop completely, the forces of Frostvale began pulling back in a controlled manner while covering each other's movements.
Ray stepped back first, and his sword still carried traces of blood while his eyes scanned the battlefield one last time, and then he turned and moved toward the rear without hesitation.
Herion followed beside him, and his posture returned to that same lazy stance, although his gaze remained alert while watching for any sudden attacks. Leon came last, and even while retreating, he did not forget to grab one last enemy and slam him aside before stepping back.
The Wyvern riders above also adjusted their formation, and instead of pressing forward, they shifted to cover the retreat while maintaining pressure from the sky.
