The continent was in turmoil, and the Emperor of Laine used the Power of Time to resurrect twenty thousand men destined to die, which greatly boosted the confidence of the Laine People.
After several counterattacks, they were unable to completely retake their cities, but in the end, they managed to win a brilliant victory. Laine lost one Legendary Holy Warrior but took down two Orc legends in exchange.

Though the battles were bloody, they ultimately forced the Orcs to abandon their plan to cross the river and attack.
The two sides re-entered a stalemate, but since the Emerald River limited the mobility of both parties, the Orcs' miraculous operations of merging and splitting forces temporarily lost their advantage.
