304's Scenic Funeral

"Boom..."

This was the sound of someone falling to the ground.

With the sound, the one-sided massacre in Kain Village square officially drew to a close.

One by one, fully-armed knights either lay fallen around Reiger or at a distance with their backs to him, making it evident what actions they had taken before their defeat.

The knights fallen around Reiger had clearly put up some resistance.

Those who lay at a distance with their backs turned were obviously attempting to flee.

But in the end, their fates were indistinct; all were struck by lightning and charred to a crisp, lifeless on the ground.

The last to fall was Lundes.

Realizing the battle was lost, he didn't choose to flee but instead charged forward with a roar, attempting one final, valiant counterattack before his death.

All the knights had shown moments of retreat.

All had thought to flee.
