Though Hosa is dead, the battle did not immediately end.
He still had several elite units under his command. Even with their chieftain beheaded, they fought desperately and even tried to organize a retreat.
At this moment, the gap between elite units and other forces became painfully obvious!
The second and third-rate Saxon spearmen, Saxon pirates, and Saxon light infantry almost instantly collapsed in morale, then started fleeing the battlefield in droves. Yet, the Saxon Personal Guard Battle Group, originally being massacred at the city gate, managed to organize a resisting group, leaving a squad behind to cover the retreat while the others withdrew bit by bit.
They even gathered the remaining cavalry to retrieve Hosa's headless corpse!
True brave warriors.
To remember to retrieve their commander's body at such a time is a group of people truly unafraid of death, forcing Duncan to lead the General's Guard to avoid confrontation temporarily.
Duncan let them succeed.
