The bipedal wyverns in the air let out loud screeches, and the great goblins and ogres roared in frenzy. For a moment, the entire snowy plains seemed to boil over.
"For the Ashen Kingdom!"
"For the King of Ashen!"
"I will tear you all to pieces!"
"Conquer the North! For the grand blueprint of the Red Dragon!"
Such war cries echoed continuously across the desolate land.
The alliance exerted its full strength, gathering ninety thousand elite human troops from the Northern United Kingdom, over five thousand Starfallen, and more than a thousand superhuman beings from all over Airez.
The alliance announced they had summoned a force of five hundred thousand troops, determined to annihilate the evil power of the Ashen Kingdom.
They occupied the southern bank of the river, constructing various defensive works and trench systems, with their defensive lines stretching for over a dozen miles.
