Something’s wrong. Really wrong.
The griffons are focusing their attacks on us now. None of us have any idea why they’re giving up on the other ponies stranded in the north part of the city. There’s no way that an entire battalion could be wiped out, even with their lack of supplies. Maybe they put up too much resistance and the griffons were unable to make any progress and thought we would be easier to defeat. At least it gives the other ponies a break, plus we’re better equipped to repel any attacks.
We were all sent out to hold our defensive lines around our HQ but our forces are quickly collapsing. Swift Wing is still hesitant to take to the skies and provide us air cover, not that I can blame him. Max Speed, though, is running himself exhausted. He refuses to take a break, always running off to deliver updates to the forward operating base or to fetch medical supplies. Hopefully he doesn’t get wounded, we’d be screwed without him.
We had to fall back twice today, both times due to the right flank collapsing. Even after reinforcing that side with another five squads the right flank kept on showing to be our weak side. I can’t imagine how many griffons must be attacking that side since we’re being almost overwhelmed ourselves in the middle of the line.
Only when we fell back to our final position did we learn that the entire right flank of our force had been wiped out. Nopony has any idea what happened as there were no survivors, but the ponies closest to that area reported a series of flashing lights. The unicorns in the area also said they felt an unnatural fluctuation in magic, but they must be battle fatigued. Everypony knows that griffons can’t use magic.
