The moment Nero attacked, the tempo of the fight changed. A few dogs were killed outright, with almost a dozen of them severely wounded. The dogs yelled and tried to retreat in fear, which distracted even the dogs attacking Vanessa, Bael and the rest.
On the battlefield, the slightest distraction was akin to death, and not a single Kolari was a fool enough to let go of such an opportunity. Even Noman, the weakest in the group, took advantage of the situation and launched a few attacks.
The fight up until then had lasted a few minutes, but the moment Nero counter attacked, the battle neared its end.
The leader of the pack, the largest dog, actually remained entirely unharmed since it wasn't specifically targeted. With more than half its pack wounded or dead, the leader actually turned tail and tried to escape, thus committing the second greatest sin on a battlefield.
