Another volley exploded. It was a rince and repeat over at Saarthal, yet despite its poor defences and being out in the open, the city managed to keep the incoming horde away fairly well. It could be because the majority of the Beasts were headed for the core of Mankind's defences; Fort Slayer.

A piece of shrapnel from an exploding projectile hit Myrdana over the temple and she fell off her Beast with a pained groan, heading towards a snowdrift below.

The Fort was doing whatever it could to keep the Beasts at bay, raining projectiles and grenades upon them, but there was only so much that they could do from afar. Siege machines needed to be re-adjusted for better range and reloaded. The main bulk of the resistance depended entirely on the performance of the Beast Slayers out in the field.

Nyx would need to rendez-vouz with the rest of her group soon, otherwise she would be left alone.

"FALL BACK!" Ran'Jinro issued the order. "FALL BACK!"

One, maybe two or three Beast Slayers received the signal too late and were either trampled or crushed in-between the stampede. It would be impossible to locate any remains of them once the horde had passed. Judging from the current situation the Beasts would overrun the Fort within the hour.

Only a miracle would be able to save them now. And just as they all got ready to embrace the worst outcome, horns could be heard in the faraway distance.
