Drazin's orders came in time, but unfortunately, this monster legion was not as well-trained as expected. After entering and leaving the mountain forest, their original formation had long since fallen into disarray.
Before they could reorganize their ranks, the Frankish army charged in. Leading the assault was none other than the famed Tyrannosaurus Rex Legion.
The continent's two most elite monster legions collided on the open plains, erupting with earth-shaking momentum.
There was no surprise: the disordered Terrain Dragon cavalry suffered greatly in that first clash.
But chaos had its own way of fighting. After their brief setback, they managed to stabilize their formation, though the price was somewhat steep.
The brutal slaughter continued until dusk. The battle line slowly retreated from the plains back into the mountain forest, and Drazin's expression grew grave.
In just a few hours, several thousand Terrain Dragon knights had fallen, and the army's room to maneuver had been confined to a tiny area.
