As they approached Aksot, the elf and the demon stumbled upon what had been a battlefield just yesterday. Corpses of soldiers from Lafir and Tsutar lay everywhere. The soldiers of Tsutar wore strange collars. Among the dead, warriors from some of the republic's legions were occasionally visible. As they advanced, the number of corpses increased, and eventually, they were replaced by skeletons. It seemed as if their skin, muscles, and other organs had vanished in an instant, leaving only bones. At the same time, their clothes, armor, and weapons were intact. Tarion and Beloroth also noticed that here and there, on the ground, lay black, shiny spheres in the sun, about the size of an adult's fist. Almost reaching the city, they saw a destroyed camp and a large black sphere, approximately 2 meters in diameter. Next to it lay the skeleton of a huge griffin, and a man in a wizard's robe stood nearby.
It was clear that the republican city had been attacked, and it seemed that the attack was not entirely successful, although Tarion still hesitated to say for sure.
- A disgusting sight, although you are probably used to such things, - he said to his companion.
I'm trying to figure out from a distance what these spheres are and where this mage came from (maybe there are identifying marks on his clothes).
Be strong. Believe
