Chapter 203: Battle of Eastern Maegrath (5)
The subtle silvery rays of the Luna shone upon the world, dimly illuminating a certain forest with the help of fires from torches and the occasional bright projectiles fired by wizards and Manatech Artillery.
As the night deepened, the battle in Parralen Valley also intensified.
The Imperial Army officers thought that, with enough casualties, the horde would retreat once more, giving them a few hours to breathe.
But no...
This time, it seemed that the remaining three thousand or so fell creations were determined to finally break through, uncaring whether the beast beside them was dead or alive.
They marched ever forward like a raging storm, destroying everything in their path.
Due to the all-out attack, the wizards of the Imperial Army had to fight back even harder, or they would be overwhelmed.
They desperately stood their ground, scuffling with the beasts in the limited space of the valley’s rift.
Many soldiers perished in the first hour of the clash, and it seemed that the number would only increase, especially if the horde didn’t retreat.
Nonetheless, the symphony of death was mostly performed by the beastly howls of agony.
The humans’ death throes were only there to supplement the main, chilling melody.
It was the poor, mindless beasts that suffered the most casualties, while their creators relaxed at the backlines, only engaging occasionally.
