The collision began. The gnoll cavalry of the Lava Clan and the Barbarian cavalry clashed for the first time.
There was a huge difference in size between the two sides. The gnoll cavalry stood two to three meters tall, while the Barbarians were generally three to four meters tall.
But in a world where extraordinary powers existed, differences in size were the least significant of all.
The Barbarian cavalry was almost completely crushed by the gnoll cavalry.
The Forest Wolves ridden by the gnolls were small, but incredibly fast. The Barbarians' Dire Wolves, on the other hand, were larger and had greater stamina, making them extremely effective in large-scale frontal charges.
But in clashes between cavalry units, they were actually inferior to the Forest Wolves.
With each successive pass and charge, the Barbarian cavalrymen were left with more and more wounds.
There was another huge difference between the two sides' cavalry: their coordination.
Green's Dragonification Domain had caused nearly every living creature in the Lava Clan to carry Dragon Race blood, though its strength varied.
The resonance between their bloodlines gave the gnolls and Forest Wolves extraordinary coordination. Even though they had only been together for three short months, they could still communicate telepathically.
This terrifying advantage widened the gap between them even further.
At every crucial moment of impact, the Forest Wolves would make the slightest adjustment to their direction, helping the gnolls evade the deadliest attacks.
That tiny difference pushed the Barbarian cavalry straight toward destruction.

When the gnoll cavalry noticed, they took the longbows from their backs, instantly shifting from their frenzied charges to calm, steady marksmanship.
The strength granted by Dragonification let the gnolls' arrows pierce iron
