As if to answer your question, across the river, where the smoke of cloud has dissipated entirely, the remainders of the army begin to move! The horns of marching armies are sounded as they march yet again - <span class="mu-s">southwards!</span> It takes you little effort to understand what this means.
"Hugues. They appear to be moving southwards...how much time do you reckon it shall take for them to arrive at the crossing, if they have somehow found a way past?"
"A decent deal, sire." replies your sergeant with a weary voice. "It takes a few hours to arrive at horseback in a decent pace, if the men you had sent are anything to go about. I find it hard to believe they've enough time to strike at us today, however, lest they wish to embroil themselves in nocturnal fighting..."
An aspect you do not find at all too likely.
"In that case, those knights must be cutting off our escape route, then - they'll remain to make sure we've no chance of attacking them as they cross."
"So it would appear, your lordship."
If that is the case - and by the distant shapes of the knights veering off from the forest into the open field, you reckon that to be most likely - your fight is not over yet. No, until these men are dealt with entirely, until this army of the Fortelli have been sent on the retreat or destroyed entirely, the battle is not yet over! <span class="mu-s">You do not reckon the enemy will attack you any soon, so long as you do not offer some great weakspot</span>, but you're not at all too certain in your men's ability to remain within this haphazarldy made formation for the rest of the day. It has been hours since the battle started, and the men must be greatly tired by now. You'd do well to make use of this respite, but how...?
<span class="mu-s">CHOOSE YOUR OPTIONS</span>
>There is safety within the forests - have your companies move into the western grove and attempt to make camp there.
>No reason to not use what you already have. Have your men move into the current camp and fortify it as best as you can for the night.
>You cannot risk an attack. Have your men form up a defensive line as previously planned - they shall rest in turns.
>We cannot rest when the enemy is so close! Let us draw them into attacking us by beginning to march south.
