What Happened?

Jake took some time to calm himself. 

He walked aimlessly around the sparse battlefield, trying to walk toward his own guild's position. 

In the fight against the zombie giant, he was tossed around the battlefield so much, he actually ended up in the wrong end. 

In a few minutes, he was back in the right wing, facing the forest. Even now, there were a few walking from within the forest. Some were dragging themselves, were others were perfectly healthy. 

But one thing was certain. After this one fight, all the momentum from the previous fight was gone. Everyone had ashen faces. They just understood that they weren't invincible. 

They finally understood why so many guilds before them had failed this expedition, and they were faced with the real possibility that they might fail too.

"This… how did this happen. We were about to win." Jake gnashed his teeth as he looked at the person who took command of the right wing in his absence.
