Description
The sorcerer's report frightened Outina so much that he
contemplated marching home again without even giving battle to the
enemy. But Ottingy, annoyed at the idea of having made all his
sacrificing in vain, accused him of lacking courage and of being a
poor leader. These reproached and threats at last forced Outina to
order an attack. He put the French harquebusiers in the front line,
where they very willingly bore the brunt of the fighting, killing
many of the enemy and routing Chief Potanou's army.
Had it not been for the French, Outina would have been
defeated, for the enemy had come in great force. (Thus the report of
the sorcerer was proved true; he must certainly have been possessed
of a devil.) When Potanou's army fled, Outina ordered his men back
and marched home again, to the great wrath of Ottigny, who wished
to follow up the victory.
