The battle, which could only be described as a slaughter, quickly came to an end.
After some post-battle recruitment, Lynch's Personal Guard gained one more wolf-rider Skeleton, four elite goblin Skeletons, and several dozen grunt Skeletons.
His forces had grown once more.
After quickly gathering the loot, Lynch led his army at a steady pace deeper into the Dark Forest.

If not for Lynch's mental link with it, he would have had no idea that it had begun to advance rapidly, acting as a scout.
