To the rescue (6)

Billy frowned when he saw what happened next… the enemy battalions retreated pretty fast without trying anything. The first few lines of soldiers were hit by arrows and the infantrymen on their side. Still, their casualties numbered just a few dozen men. They responded way too fast to that surprise attack... something was off and he had no idea what it was.

"I guess they faked an attack to make us use any moves we might have up our sleeve…" Billy said.

Marie clicked her tongue in annoyance… it was more than a bit troublesome the fact that the enemy could pull that kind of stunt. Nevertheless, what was done was done. All the enemies will be wary of arrows coming from the hills now.
