When the Kolkar Centaur army arrived, the Rangers of the City Lord's Household Guard had already formed up in front of their position. Six hundred Ranger soldiers and six hundred armored Dire Wolf Battle Pets stood in three neatly aligned rectangular formations ahead of the defenses.
Each formation consisted of two ranks of High Elf Rangers and two ranks of Dire Wolf Battle Pets, with the pets in front and the Rangers behind. Soldiers and pets alike wore matching Rare-grade Blooming Azure Alloy Scale Armor, which reflected a cold, harsh light beneath the blazing sun. Their armor shone brilliantly, yet lent them a grim, murderous solemnity that struck fear into the heart.
Behind them lay a dense expanse of small holes, packed so tightly together that the sight raised goosebumps. These were the Horsefall Pits Yu Lin Bloodhawk had installed. Their openings were fairly small, only about fifteen to twenty centimeters across, just wide enough for a foot or a horse's leg to step into. They were forty to fifty centimeters deep, however, just enough to reach a person's or a horse's knee.

They were somewhat more spread out. After all, the City Lord's Household Guard alone could not normally carry too many Horse-Trip Wires with them.
The Horse-Trip Wires were not strung very high, either, only about half a meter, much like the
