"You said half the size," Ares said to Asyllia.
"I did," Asyllia said. "I did not see the rest of them."
"Well… they did come from the other side, I can't blame you." Ares sighed as he looked out to all the beastfolk that had gathered on the other side.
There were thousands more that had joined the enemy. More from each race that had already been there. Ares rubbed his chin as he stared at them all.
"I will accept whatever punishment you give me," Asyllia said.
"There's no need for punishment, you did nothing wrong." Ares crossed his arms and then hummed to himself. 'Well this sucks.'
They were now outnumbered at least seven to one, or at least that was Ares' estimation. They would lose even more now, and the moral of the people would be low. Ares supposed he'd need to prime his army, the mercenaries, and then also deal with the battlefield.
Ares went to meet with his officers. They seemed nervous, and no doubt they could sense the nervousness on Ares too.
