The whole battlefield hit pause again.
Everyone stared blankly at Lian Phoenix, who was kneeling in the swamp, too shocked for words.
The Phoenix Clan elder's face changed drastically: "Retreat!"
At his command, the remaining elite Phoenix Clan warriors all transformed into fire phoenixes, soaring up and vanishing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
On the ground, the warriors of The Wolf Tribe began cleaning up the aftermath. The air was thick with the stench of blood.
Luna Sutton looked at the scene before her, feelings churning inside.
They had won this battle, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
The Wolf Tribe suffered heavy losses—their elite beastmen were basically wiped out, and even Mason Sutton was barely hanging on.
Finn Arcanus and Yuri Ashwood survived, but were seriously wounded, lying on the ground unable to crawl up.
Jago had long since been knocked unconscious by Caelan Phoenix, and still hadn't woken up—maybe dead, maybe not.
