Steel rang out as blades clanging and shields shattered across the mud-soaked expanse of Point Sword. Smoke and dust choked the air, rising like mourning veils over the plains. The royal banners swayed violently under the pressure of the Blazzarene assault. At the front lines, Captain Haide's voice rang clear amidst the cacophony of war.
"Brace yourselves! Shields up! Hold the line!" she shouted, her armor glinting with mud and grime as she moved up and down the barricades. Blazzarene warriors crashed against their defenses like furious waves, and the royal soldiers answered with spears, arrows, and grit.
Limbs were severed, shields shattered. The ground turned slick with gore. Men and women screamed, some in rage, some in agony. Still, the royal line held firm, like a mountain standing against a storm.
