At night, Gustav's army quickly crossed the defense line and launched an attack on the Southern Alliance.
Augustsburg stood with several of his subordinates on top of the castle, watching silently. The light from the torches cast shadows on his face.
The cold night rapidly filled with the sounds of a charging advance.
The fires in the Southern Alliance camp ignited almost simultaneously, indicating they had been prepared for this.
Richie stood in front of his tent, looking at Augustsburg on the castle top in the distance, while Augustsburg also watched him.
The troops of the Alliance started to converge madly toward Gustav's vanguard. Catapults, heavy crossbows, and various heavy weaponry were quickly deployed. Waves of arrows rained down from the sky.
In an instant, Gustav's vanguard was nearly wiped out. However, the Liches never appeared on the battlefield. The scene looked as if Richie had ambushed Augustsburg, rather than the other way around.
