As the sun was setting, the Sky Citadel started to retreat, and so did the army of Inevir and its allies.
The golems were the last to withdraw. They stood facing Norvaegard's army while the soldiers of Inevir carried their wounded between them.
Above the battlefield, Thelwin watched the Elder Mages retreat with the Sky Citadel before he, too, descended.
On Norvaegard's side, they did not pursue the enemy, nor did they continue firing at them. The two sides simply stopped attacking one another.
With the cannons silent, the calls for stretchers could be heard from the firing line. Some of Norvaegard's soldiers went out to collect the wounded while others remained at their posts, watching the retreating golems.
Lucen returned to Thornefang and saw Harlik helping someone and using the salve. That was when he spotted Lucen.
"Hey, leader! Where did you suddenly run off to?"
"I had a talk with a few people from the Rocton Empire."
