Kraghul was soaked in green fluids, every goblin in sight dead, but he allowed one of the 'horsemen' to escape so they could report what they had seen.
The humans had a huge bounty on his head, and there was no reason the orcs wouldn't cash in.
That was why they let his terror grow—so his bounty would keep increasing.
One could think of it as an investment they allowed to compound, but now they were coming for the rewards.
And there was no telling what the humans would pay to have him alive.
"Alive or dead" was on the banner, but the former was more hopeful than realistic, with the legend Vrognut had built.
The other orc had no idea if this was part of Kraghul's plan or not, but the fact that Kraghul planned everything so carefully only to be done in by his horse didn't make sense.
Kraghul came out calm, composed, as if everything was going according to plan.
Did he know Vrognut would eat the horse?
