Across the boundless land, the last rays of sunset slanted down. Under the control of the Divine Realm's Envoys, enormous war beasts marched in formation, shaking the ground with every step.
Behind the beasts, each as large as a hill, followed tens of thousands of human auxiliaries—or, more accurately, cannon fodder. Few were trained soldiers. Most were young adults hastily rounded up, handed simple weapons, and sent to fight for the Divine Realm.
