An hour into the battle, the Astanian army sent its troops to stop the advancing enemy forces.
Arcientus coldly watched the battle unfold.
I already received a message from Donovan. I need to retake Zurcath and wait for reinforcements before retaking all the cities that they have conquered.
He specifically chose Zurcath since it was the easiest to defend among all the cities that Astania had captured. He also planned to eliminate one Venerable on the enemy side to weaken their fighting power. By the time the Veronican army arrived, they would have the upper hand against the Astanian troops.
At this moment, he noticed that the Harunian army was struggling to advance.
They are putting up a much stronger resistance than I thought, but once we go past their traps, they will be overwhelmed by our numbers.
Arcientus analyzed the situation.
Suddenly, he felt a strong fluctuation of mana from the city.
Roar!!
His pupils constricted when he heard the loud, beastly roar.
