After the order in the Hawks broke out, Fred argued with the other surviving officer, Zeke Carleton what to do. Fred wanted to surrender, and contacted duke Vedet Brewer, asking for terms... but after Zeke and his men continued fighting, Clan Wolf forces charged, killing any Irregular, surrended or not.
