A heavy snow fell from the darkening sky, blanketing everything in sight.
With the arrival of fresh troops from High Cliff Castle, the Wilderness Alliance Army's relentless attacks were futile.
The line of Beastman Warriors holding the breach were like unfeeling scythes, cutting down attackers in droves no matter how many were sent against them.
The rain of arrows from atop the walls grew even deadlier. Before attackers could even reach the foot of the ramparts, they were pierced clean through, shield and all, by the Human Archers wielding Purple Robe Longbows.
Their terrifying skill in archery would have put even the Elves to shame.
The slaughter raged on for an unknown time until the Vanguards could no longer sustain such losses. No matter how the Battle Commanders screamed at them, no matter how many Auxiliary Soldiers they cut down as an example, nothing could stop the terrified retreat from that man-eating wall.
HUUUUU—
