This Laine general was in the habit of deploying the Paladin Legion, hoping to turn the tide at the critical moment.
Under normal circumstances, it was feasible. Laine's history had seen many victories against greater odds, all thanks to the Paladin Legion.
But this time, the outcome was completely different.
The Laine Paladin Legion feared not death, yet so did the orcs, who charged forward with cries of vengeance, desperate to fight to the death.
Both were elite legions capable of fighting to the last man, yet the orcs had the tactical advantage, and the result was predictable.
An entire Paladin Legion was annihilated, two thousand Paladins and three hundred Light Priests died on the battlefield, and then a border city was lost, twenty thousand Laine people taken captive by the orcs.
Although Ange Watson had faced repeated defeats, at most he had only contracted the battle lines but had never directly lost a city before.
After this battle, all Laine people understood.
