The Feis army's mages were already hard-pressed just to fend off the enemy mages' magic attacks, their magic power significantly depleted.
Even so, quite a few magic attacks rained down; the soldiers protected by tower shields were okay, but those light infantry and cavalry were not so lucky.
Fireballs, wind blades, and various other spell attacks had catastrophic effects, with boiling blood and shattered bone and muscle splattering through the air, creating an incredibly gruesome scene.
Though their comrades were being attacked, the soldiers of the Feis Kingdom didn't panic too much; they had undergone appropriate training and, under the command of their squad leaders, quickly sought cover.
These were just preliminary probing attacks, yet they had already resulted in hundreds of casualties.
But these numbers meant little to both armies; as the probing attacks persisted, both sides' formations gradually began to unfold.
