But that was Eragons plan. As the Urgals charged down into his army, his archers who were kept separate climbed the hills of the valley from behind. That was when the Urgals realised they were all going to die. Eragon ordered his archers to fire and there spearman escort to fire. They did. The thousands of Urgals that has charged into the valley now tried to charge out as they were mown down by Eragons archers. Eragons men threw pots of oil into the mass of Urgals and that too killed hundreds when fire arrows set the oil alight. As the Urgals managed to break out in one corner, Eragon flew down and landed amongst them on Saphira. As 50 Kull charged them Saphira, breathed fire incinerating many Eragon suddenly fainted as the wards on Saphira broke as trees that the Urgals had cut down fell. The Kull kept charging several fell with arrows stuck in them but 9 reached Saphira. Saphira killed all, but a small Urgal stabbed her in the back of the neck while she was still pinned by the trees. Despite the fact it was victory, with Eragons men slaying an estimated 10,000 Urgals at the loss of only 4100 men, the loss of Saphira broke the hearts of many. Eragon was overcome with grief but didn't blame the Urgals. With only three other dragons- Thorn, Fírnen and a wild dragon that had hatched, there was no other female dragons.
Eragon decided to attack Ylèsei, a kingdom of Elves and Humans that had been formed just after the riders fell, up in the North. Murtagh had discovered it and it had hostilely fired on him. Eragon marched through the now Urgal free spine at the head of his army and destroyed the kingdom with little casualties as he arrived back to find his empire in famine and drought. He adopted a policy of forgetting about any cities south of Belatona, and too far removed such as Kuasta. This made him unpopular with many.
I might give up on this story, it is just getting old.
Sorry to those who want it continued.
