Nearly an hour later, Nix studied the battlefield layout. He placed the Inferno raid members near the middle of the battlefield to preserve the players who could influence the final outcome. The Scorpion and Lion Clans formed the front of the Inferno battle lines. Both were fierce in battle and would stop frontal assaults from pushing too deep. The outside perimeter of the rear forces was populated by the ranged fighters. Over the course of several minutes, Semmi and Jun Li assisted him in piecing together the rest. When the final tally was made, counting the forces of the Nether, Inferno, and its allies, their numbers stood at one hundred thousand.
As the minutes dragged on, the veil that separated the two forces became more transparent. Finally, shortly before mid-day, it became obvious that the number of Khione's forces closely matched their own.
/Allied Command: Nix: Turning things over to Jun Li and the Breach Commanders from Solomon City. Good Luck, everyone.
