Mary stepped in as well, helping direct the effort so the carcasses of the dead wild animals and monsters would not be left to rot in the open.

Not here, especially not when the North was already struggling with plague.
A pile of dead bodies left unattended would become a breeding ground for disease. Insects would spread it. The wind could carry it. Before long, sickness would follow.
So Mary ordered the warriors to dig a pit, drag the carcasses inside, and burn them properly before burying the charred remains.
By the time Mary and the other warriors finished sweeping the battlefield clean, Archmage Elric and his circle had already completed the teleportation portal leading to the borders of the Royal Capital.
