Casualties were mounting on both sides. Kace looked around to better judge the situation. They were outnumbered and fighting on two fronts. The initial strike of the monsters had lost its momentum on this side of the mountain path. Some of the heroes specialising in defence had retreated to the mages, protecting them from his tribe's assassinations.
As more Orcs fell gloriously on the battlefield, the heroes were becoming free to deal with the smaller goblin pests. The situation was beginning to look bleak, but they had to reach the gate to have a chance of escaping. The only thing that he could think of was annihilating the forces on this side so that they focus their assault on Phillip and the other heroes on that side of the mountain.
