Scarface Craig was dead.
With their leader dead, what little will to resist the remaining bandits had completely crumbled. Many threw down their weapons on the spot and began to kneel and beg for mercy. A few tried to take their chances by jumping into the lake to escape, but under the combined assault of the Undead Army and the Fishman forces, they were quickly silenced.
On Lake Heart Island, Lynch watched without expression as the last pocket of resistance on the mudflats was crushed.
He had no intention of accepting any surrender.
The men who had charged over with Scarface were mostly his trusted inner circle and a number of greed-driven desperadoes. They had no shortage of innocent blood on their hands.
Accepting their surrender was neither necessary nor safe.
Once the fighting on the mudflats had completely ceased, Lynch returned to the shore with Catherine and the Bone Mage in a small fishing boat.
