"Haha, Look! They are running! They are running!"
"Damn right they are! They were idiots to try father in the first place, hahaha."
"It seems their commander finally realized the stupidity of his action. Tsk took them long enough."
"Yeah, what a waste of so many good lives. What were they even thinking trying such a thing in broad daylight? I am surprised the men even held on for so long."
"Fools! Utter fools! Just because they are a few more than us they must have thought they could simply charge blind and we would be overwhelmed! Heh!"
"Mmm! As if we are not that weak!"
