On the other side, in the military formation of Suthers, atop a gentle slope, Tucci was riding his warhorse, staring intently at the flanking battlefield enveloped in black smoke.
His trusted troops had crossed the roadbed over there, but battle broke out quickly. Things were developing in a direction beyond his expectations, and they seemed to be growing increasingly out of control.
That bizarre explosion and the unprecedented sound of gunfire filled Tucci with unease, until he saw a Knight galloping toward him, bringing news that somewhat shocked him.
"General! There's half a battalion of enemy forces on the other side of the road! Our troops are already lining up for battle!" the Knight reported the latest news and then stopped in place, waiting for Tucci's command.
Tucci looked toward another subordinate and immediately ordered, "Take men to reinforce them, wipe out that isolated force of the Northern Ridge!"
