The western district was home to 150,000 soldiers stationed there to guard against an invasion by the Woodkin. According to messages from scouts more than ten kilometers away, the Woodkin were already advancing this way, numbering over 200,000.
Ango City was not well-suited for defense. Fortunately, there were enough soldiers within the city, and they had already formed a defensive line around Ango City.
The 150,000 soldiers in the western district sounded like nothing more than a number. But after Su Xiao arrived in the west district and saw them with his own eyes, he understood what 150,000 soldiers meant.
If these soldiers stood in densely packed formations, 10,000 men would be enough to fill an entire football field. Once 150,000 of them spread out across the battlefield, they almost completely blocked off Ango City's western side.
Tents made of thick fabric and wooden poles were scattered everywhere. As long as they had enough to eat, the soldiers did not demand much from their living conditions. With their physiques, they would not feel cold even in those crude tents.
"Warriors, just two days ago, those monsters invaded our homes..."
An officer's shout rang out. He was giving a pre-battle speech to prevent the soldiers from routing once the number of casualties reached a certain level.
The Woodkin were expected to arrive in half an hour. The soldiers had finished assembling, and the battlefield had been set on a plain two kilometers away. The terrain there was open, making it an ideal location for the first battle.
The snow from early spring had only recently melted. The ground between the tents had been trampled into mud. On top of that, it was early morning and the temperature was low, so the sludge had frozen hard beneath countless feet.
