Half of the demihuman camp was hit by the earthquake and the ravine collapsed, dropping giant boulders under the non-combat demihumans. The rocks crushed hundreds to thousands, raising a cloud of dust that obscured the interior of the ravine.
The demi-humans roared in fury at seeing their families crushed and rushed back to try to help them, but Treevor ordered the skeletons to resume their march.
"Trolls, help the women and children! Goblins and Orcs, don't let these things get close!" An orc larger and more robust than its peers shouted in the demi-human language, causing the defensive army to split. The big trolls were the only ones strong enough to move the rocks, so the defensive army leader's decision was right.
Goblins were physically weak, while Orcs relied on their emotions to enhance their physical prowess. If they were ordered to retreat to help earthquake victims, they would only feel concern or sadness for the victims, rendering their racial ability useless.
