Third...?

'That's two steps out of the way,' I thought when I finally ran out to what had to be some sort of a rallying spot and now has turned into the no man's land to the side of everyone's forces. 

Just a little bit further away, the main body of my unit was clashing with the rear guards of the human concentration point, while further up ahead the humans continued to furiously repel the desperate charge of Loraz's forces. 

'As long as they keep up split, they have a chance!'

This reasoning was obvious. 

Further ahead, the humans used all the advantages of the reinforced positions that they could. From the height advantage of the nearby towards to shower the attacking protectors of the forest with projectiles and spells, through the embankments that put the defenders above the charging hordes, all the way to the stocked-up supplies of burnable oil, arrows, and spare weapons.
