Todd and Cumberland exchanged a glance, and the former waved his hand, issuing the order "All troops retreat" in the soul space.
Soon, the bugle call for retreat sounded from the hill position.
As the garrison began to set fire to the stacks of firewood and fuel in front of the camp, they began to retreat in an organized manner toward Saint-Guardian.
The Valkyrie, the one who controlled the perspective, looked at the undead not far away. Instead of immediately flying back to her camp, she rode her griffin forward again, seemingly planning to throw the second load of spores before leaving.
As she flew over the horde of zombies, just as she was about to gain altitude to drop her bomb, a dark, ominous cloud drifted in from the distance.

The corpse birds quickly surrounded the Valkyrie and her griffin and began launching wave after wave of attacks.

The Valkyrie wiped the blood dripping from her forehead, then took out her bow, nocked an arrow, and pinned the leading undead to the ground with a single shot.
The second arrow, the third arrow—the Valkyrie's rapid-fire arrows prevented any undead from getting close within a ten-meter radius around her.
When she finished using one quiver of arrows, she took a second quiver of arrows from the griffin's back.
