The battle was over. The marines had claimed the objectives but had suffered heavy casualties in doing so. Luckily for xaphan they had retreated but he knew they would soon be back.
“xaphan my lord we need to hurry further into the mountain
and form a defensive blockade then re-attack the marines"
Xaphan snarled “you failed me! How dare you fail me!”
“sorry sir but...” a blast of flame erupted from xaphans
hand,engulfing the commander. His body dropped to floor as xaphan turned and
left.
Despite the battle not going quite as xaphan intended, his
plan was still in action. Troops were amassing on the other side of the
mountain in force. Him and his remaining troops just needed to get through the
mountain and survive the imminent attack from the pursuing marines.
He could feel the artifacts power and it coursed through him
and his troops. Something was happening to the mortenok forces and it was
slowly spreading. Small bruises,areas of rust and darkened eyes were small but
noticeable changes within his hordes.
Xaphan smiled and muttered to himself
“soon my lord"
