The battlefield was dark, as it was deep in the night. Though it wasn't that bad either, since large parts of it were already burning, giving us enough light to see around.
And on top of that, the dwarves wore red capes that glowed in the dark—a measure to avoid friendly fire even in the off-chance that things got confused in the chaos.
"Don't fall too far behind, or we might get bombarded!" I shouted to the girls.
It wasn't really necessary, since the cannons usually fired far ahead of us. However, there was still the off-chance we might get mistaken for monsters moving through the shadows. Better to say it and be ignored than not say it and have someone catch a cannonball to the face.
Thankfully, since the dwarves had already begun engaging the monsters, it didn't take us long to arrive at the front.
Now that we were close enough, the monsters became visible too.
