As expected, Leone and the barbarians' surprise attack succeeded.
But this didn't mean the Aurelion Army had lost. They weren't pushovers.
That attack had killed tens of thousands, but the majority of them were still alive.
With Magnus' command and the support of their empire's powerhouses, the forty thousand men regrouped and once again made their stand.
The two sides clashed, with the momentum still on the barbarians' side.
It was then that Zepharion successfully slipped past Gundar's defenses, unleashing three tornadoes at the center of the city that prevented the barbarians' advance.
He then directed the tornadoes to send the Fireshard Catapults' bombardments back to where they came from.
Unfortunately for him, the projectiles lacked the force to make it that far.
Hearing the explosions reverberate outside the destroyed city, Leone ordered the operators to stop.
