He considered his response, and then shrugged. "It was four trolls, yes, but I used some firearms to soften them up a bit before hosing them down with a flame spell. However, I did get in close combat with three of them, and I made sure that they wouldn't regenerate from even the tiniest of pieces, so the story is both correct and incorrect. However, my preferred method would be to use a combination of explosives and fire attacks like a fireball spell to soften them up beforehand."<br/><br/>He considered the terrain, before nodding. "The fight was not a fair one, not for the twenty trolls/ I lured them into a killing ground, and then used the combination of explosives and fire bombs to finish them before they realized what happened. Since there were no survivors, the remaining three dozen that retreated have no idea what happened to the twenty that sallied forth. They heard death screams and a massive explosion. So we can use the trick again."<br/><br/>He put his finger over the open ground. "What is your usual tactics for open field fighting? I only ask because my people rarely brought full armies together to fight each other, instead we had, at most, platoons against platoons, because we developed traps that would obliterate large numbers, so the armies spread out to ensure the traps never took out too many of their soldiers to noticeably impact the fight. In theory, at least."
