... me lie here ... I can ... not make it!" He said after his coughing fit.
"Nobody under my leadership will be left behind, soldier! We'll get you back!"
"Thank you ... General!"
With these words the soldier passed away, still staring at his general in thanks. Tiger put his hand on the soldier's forehead and carefully closed his eyes.
"You're in a better place now."
Saying a prayer for the poor soul, Tiger straightened up and looked around again for survivors.
Suddenly his eyes widened.A little further away he discovered someone he had already believed lost.
With hasty steps he ran towards Andor, who had now also discovered him.
Overjoyed, the two fell into each other's arms.
"Andor, I'm glad to see you. I thought you couldn't have done it."
"It only looked like it. When you were buried under the Lex, many of us thought we couldn't win the battle anymore. But that strange tone. Somehow he called the Lex to retreat."
"Yes, I remember that tone. It was the reason why I collapsed under the cattle in the first place. Anyway. Let's get the wounded out of here first."
"Yes good idea."
With these words, the two set out to find the last survivors and take them to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, they found little more than a dozen brave men who had survived the onslaught of their enemies.In the evening the two warriors were finally able to rest with a fresh glass of rum and tell the story of their battle.
