Fedony raced to the front lines, perched atop a hillock, overlooking the enemy formation with its venomous sting.
The summit of the triple-layered fortress now bore several imperial flags, while the outer layer of houses, transformed into defensive works, had been sealed from the inside and was under fierce assault by the demon army.
In the courtyard, hundreds stood ready for battle, as the fortress's soldiers unleashed volleys of arrows upon the demon forces.
Fedony bellowed an order, "Deploy the border cavalry, charge with all your might."
The cavalry entered the fray, momentarily overwhelming the left flank of the demon army, though reinforcements barely managed to hold against the cavalry's breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the outer defenses of the Glazed Pavilion fortress had been breached in several places, and its guards were gradually being overwhelmed by the demon army.
