Marquis Valeire saw that one of the artillery pieces was finally destroyed, but the other one, which the Dragon's Claw was meant to destroy, was still there.
Using the Eagle Eye spell, he saw the Dragon's Claw retreating from the battlefield. It would seem that they had encountered Sir Thalos and lost several of their members, including their Captain.
They had failed. Valeire did not react outwardly. His posture remained straight, his expression controlled. Only the slight narrowing of his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
He had not hired Dragon's Claw to destroy those new weapons. He had hired them for one purpose. To kill Vardon Thornehart, or if they failed to do that, simply distract the other party while they deal with his men.
In his mind, even with all these new weapons at their disposal, if he were able to remove Vardon Thornehart from the equation, it would be an instant win.
