I believe you are wrong here TheDemon.

all battles are fought at once, THEN all units retreat. so if you lose both battles, your units will have no where to retreat to.

Yes and no. Certain battles (initiated during the magic phase) may take place before others. For instance, if you teleport an SC into a province P1, get routed and flee into P2, which is attacked that turn, you will see your SC participate in both battles. I haven't tested what would happen if P2 had a fort in it, but it's possible that TheDemon is correct and that the SC would just hide inside the fort for the second battle, as units usually do if they're not set to Patrol.
