With the Hogs hungry for battle and mayhem, the Equestrial Guard were having trouble reaching the Aquamarines. Atop a hill, barricaded by crudely built walls, Hog Wartraks were annihilating anything that tried to cross the bridge to the crash site.
"We must retreat and find another way around." said Buck as more Guardponies were killed by Hog rockets. "The bridge is lost to us!" More Guardponies continued to be killed by incoming rockets until they finally turned and headed back.
"To be thrown back by this... filth!" The Commissar said in disgust. "Had we our Party Cannons ready, we would've taught them a lesson!" The retreating Guardponies were still being demolished by Hog artillery, but managed to finally get out of their reach.
Elsewhere, hidden from anyone's view, an Eldeer Warlock reported ill news to the Farseer. "Exalted Farseer!" She said, "The Equestrials are mired before the bridge and falter under heavy bombardment. Your orders?"
The Farseer closed her eyes in disbelief. "The Equestrials test my patience with their incompetence!" She said angrily, but sighed. "Very well... we will deal with the Hogs ourselves, but only because the time grows short. Death is almost upon us..." With that said, Eldeer warriors appeared around her, ready to carry out the act of assistance.
