Brianna watched in awe as a wave of trees threw themselves at the third giant. The entire scene was unnatural. She felt almost as if she were watching some sort of bizarre computer animated film. It seemed unreal, out of place in the natural world.
The trees pushed with all the force they had against the giant's feet, trying to bring it to the ground. It swayed once to the left, then again to the right. The trees wrapped themselves tightly around it's feet.
"How very Empire Strikes Back," Priest observed.
The giant finally fell.
Dozens of red soldiers scurried out of their positions as the huge zombie came down above them. It struck it's head against the castle turret, causing a decayed eyeball to pop it's socket and fly down towards the battlefield. It crushed a section of the outer wall beneath it as it crashed to the ground.
The zombies swarmed upon it, hacking away at its head and neck with all the weapons they'd either stolen or kept with them when they died.
Priest looked up at the giant that was still standing. It wobbled on it's feet and clutched at its throat. He couldn't help but laugh.
Brianna looked desperately at the red soldiers that remained at the edge of the castle. She then turned and surveyed the resources still available to her.
About seventy of Justin's knights remained, huddled together in a group. None of their horses were left, having either been killed or ran to safety when their riders conveniently dismounted.
Brianna turned to address them.
"We are not finished yet! An obstacle to your freedom remains," She yelled, marching up and down in front of them. Priest watched, amused and bemused.
"The tool of Gaovulte. The instrument of your oppression," She said. She turned and faced the roughly one hundred and fifty remaining red soldiers, lined up along the edge of the moat with their swords raised defensively.
"Them!" She said, then turned to spread her gaze across Justin's men.
"...well?" She said, and they charged forward screaming.
Priest looked up at the standing giant. If his eyesight had been keener, he would have noticed a sword tip sticking out from the back of it's throat and pulling sideways, leaving a huge tear in the creature's flesh.
The giant's head suddenly wobbled at a strange angle, tearing in several places at once. Priest noticed it coming apart around the neck, pieces of its flesh ripping off and hurtling towards the ground.
The head suddenly came apart from the body completely, rocketing towards the ground.
The giant's body stumbled backwards and fell into the forest, coming to a completely still rest there on the forest floor.
Priest heard a huge 'thud' as the head impacted suddenly with the ground. He heard a second 'thud' as Ozzy impacted with the ground.
Baxter stood up, sword still in hand, and tried to wipe himself off.
"This is the most disgusting mission ever!" Ozzy yelled, frustrated.
