The following morning, I woke up to the sound of a horn that signaled all soldiers to go to their posts.
During the night, I asked Vespera to watch the camp closely in case any lesser demons tried attacking. Thankfully, none of them advanced to our position.
Our objective was to push the Kalusia army back into the depths of the desert, as we were currently located very close to the border of the empire.
Losing one battle meant that the enemy's forces could invade the towns that were the closest to us.
Thousands of soldiers got into different groups and arranged themselves in organized rows.
The ones in the front had shields and spears, the middle had lighter weapons, and the soldiers in the back had their bows and arrows ready.
As they marched through the desert, my companions and I followed them from the sky, and after an hour, we saw the enemy's forces marching towards us.
