Radagon, the three demigods, and a Shadow Beast all stood where they were without moving.
Gold surged around them like a tide, sweeping with overwhelming force toward the opposing current of red and blue before them.
The Redmane Army was pure red.
The Caria Army wore silver and blue.
Volcano Manor wore red and white.
They were clearly distinguished from one another, their colors and banners impossible to mistake.
The Erdtree, the Redmane, the Carian Royal Family, the Gelmir God-Devouring Serpent.
Four emblems intertwined.
Rykard had already changed his emblem to the image of a winged serpent coiling around and devouring everything.
The knights under his command all wore the new emblem, and their armor bore additional serpent decorations.
In the Lands Between, snakes were unwelcome animals.
Whenever those fighters wearing snake helmets were wounded and bled, cheers would always erupt.
Everyone liked watching snakes get hurt.
Yet Rykard had deliberately chosen a serpent for his emblem. Now that everyone had shown their hand, there was indeed no need to hide anything.
Battle cries were deafening, and screams rose one after another.
The Tree Sentinels charging at the front swept all before them. Every swing of their Golden Halberds sent a swath of soldiers flying.
Those men flew into the air, then fell, knocking down another swath of men.
The Caria Troll Knights drew the Caria Knight Swords from their backs and volunteered to intercept the Tree Sentinels.
At least in terms of size and strength, they could be considered evenly matched opponents.
The other soldiers and knights also paired off to fight.
In terms of numbers, the golden side had somewhat fewer troops than the Caria Allied Army.
But their fighting prowess was exceptionally high, and every one of them was fearless and brimming with morale.
