Newborn Crusader

As the first rays of light appeared over the horizon, they shone on a battlefield where ravens and other birds were feasting upon the many corpses that littered the ground. The air was crisp, and it was possible to see one’s breath condensing into a small cloud due to the cold. As the sun peaked over the horizon, the beasts stood in formation looking ahead of them.

The camp now looked nothing like it had the day before. The beasts had been busy working all through the night, and the result was a large ditch that appeared around the entire camp. A ditch which was three meters deep and three meters wide. It had a small entrance twenty meters wide they intentionally did not dig so creatures could move through it. Even the backside of the camp had the ditch dug around it making it difficult for the experts to surround the beasts while they were fighting.
