Once the shield had fully encompassed the entire fortress, John and Archibald immediately took stock of the casualties.
"A total of over 30 dead, with more than ten bodies completely destroyed beyond the possibility of resurrection. The rest are queued for revival," Archibald reported, his expression turning grim.
This surprise night assault by the monsters had caused significant casualties, presenting a huge challenge for them.
"I suspected there might be something unusual tonight, but I never imagined the monsters would attack at night, and with flying creatures," Archibald said, regret evident in his voice.
If they had prepared in advance, such a high number of casualties could have been avoided!
The surrounding people felt a deep sense of dread.
They had never imagined that death would hit them so close.
In the previous days, they had been cautious and had avoided major losses, but this attack had truly terrified them.
