Several kilometers southwest of Bilk City stood a cliff large enough to hold several hundred people.
At that moment, Bianka and the Empire's Sword Saint, Kureha, stood atop the cliff on horseback, looking down at the city and battlefield ahead.
Bilk City was a necessary route for the demon race to invade the Empire and an extremely important core city. Once it fell to the demon race, it would be difficult to find another battlefield favorable for fighting them.
Thus, Bilk City's defenses were exceptionally strict, and its terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
