Across the battlefield, while Alpheo's right flank surged forward with a relentless energy, pressing deeper into the enemy line with every charge, elsewhere the fight was far less decisive.

Some units were pushed back in slow, grueling inches, while others fought to a tense standstill against the enemy's sheer numbers and force.
