Once the two leaders went down, the rest of the Stage S elites from the Stormkin and Frostborn didn't fare any better. Most were dead, and the ones who weren't were crippled and bleeding on the ground.
As for the remaining Stage A fighters, their courage shattered completely. They turned and bolted for the horizon.
But at this point, trying to run was already too late.
Goldcrest City had millions of people packed in tight, sealing off the area until there wasn't even a crack to slip through. The soulless thralls and the three hundred-plus Awakened from Fallen Star City flipped into full-on slaughter mode.
When it was finally over, the Stormkin were down to just over three thousand.
The Frostborn were down to just over three thousand too.
And the Rimekin?
They still had more than five thousand left.
From that alone, it wasn't hard to tell the Rimekin had been holding back during the earlier battle.
