Just when it seemed that the battle might tip back in favor of the enemy, a thunderous sound echoed across the battlefield. The ground trembled as a contingent of allied forces, summoned by Xia's diplomatic efforts, arrived to bolster the kingdom's defenses.
With a resounding battle cry, the reinforcements surged into combat, turning the tide yet again. The sight of their banners flying high reignited the spirits of the kingdom's soldiers.
"Together!" General Liang shouted, rallying the troops. "We stand united! Show them the strength of our resolve!"
With newfound vigor, the Crimson Shadows and their allies advanced, pushing back against the enemy forces. Xia, fueled by the arrival of reinforcements, refocused her attention on Lord Jiao, who was now struggling to maintain his composure.
