The old Saurfang became increasingly alarmed as he fought; how were these human warriors getting fiercer the longer the battle went on? Initially, he could rely on his strength and experience to dominate these young Princes of humanity. They managed to contend with him only by outnumbering him, but now, as the aura of the human warriors was growing stronger, he found himself gradually unable to parry effectively.
The key issue was that his health was running low. Even as a level ninety Epic Hero, his health was barely over ten thousand. Being worn down by six or seven Princes taking turns to attack him, he inevitably got hit several times, and his health bar had dropped to half.
His Wolf Riders wanted to charge in to reinforce him but were blocked by the human soldiers.
Many Adventurers also began to gather, looking to join the fray.
