The surroundings could no longer honestly be called a forest. Whatever had once stood there had been reduced to the remnants of what it had been. For miles in every direction, the trees had been eviscerated, their trunks split apart or ripped from the earth entirely. Great craters scarred the ground between them, some shallow and wide, others deep enough that their bottoms were hidden beneath the earth and roots. Broken branches, splintered trunks, uprooted trees, and chunks of torn earth were scattered across the landscape with no recognizable pattern. It was difficult to tell where the forest ended and the battle began because, at this point, there was scarcely any forest left to distinguish.
But the destruction itself was not what stood out most.
The corpses did.
