Great Ratholos Empire, Imperial Capital
The battle between the Delarosas and the imperial army raged on as both sides fought hard to exterminate each other.
With Emperor Varan trapped in a spiritual land of the dead, the imperial army was forced into a disadvantageous and passive state, where it was hard to advance and difficult to retreat. They could only hold the stalemate until the winds of favor blew their way.
"Commander, the battle is steadily tilting in our enemy's favor! We will not last long at this rate!" an imperial guard alerted.
The Delarosan curses lacked killing power, but they were far more destructive in their ability to sow chaos within the ranks of the imperial soldiers, suppressing their morale and destroying their military unity.
The imperial guards were restrained from demonstrating their full fighting potential due to the disorder of the cursed imperial soldiers among them.
