The two armies collided with a thunderous roar, the earth itself seeming to tremble beneath the weight of thousands of armored men slamming into one another. Shields clashed against shields, a chorus of metal scraping, bashing, and breaking as the front ranks pushed forward with grim determination. Swords rose and fell in brutal rhythm, each strike seeking a gap in the enemy's defenses.

Every inch of ground was contested, and in the midst of the turmoil, the lines swayed, holding strong but only by sheer force of will as both sides locked in a deadly embrace.
