Screams of agony echoed wherever the Arrow Rain swept past. The panicking Divine Chosen Soldiers fell in droves like wheat reaped by a scythe, completely unable to fight back.
At the same time, the heavy iron gates of the border fortress blew outward with a thunderous BOOM. Splinters of wood, still warm from the residual energy of the Holy Flame Runes, flew in every direction.
On the walls, the Battle Banners bearing the Holy Empire's Sacred Emblem whipped violently in the wind. The Holy Empire's regular legions, who had lain in wait for so long, surged out like tigers ready to pounce.
The heavy Holy Shield Legion led the charge. The Divine Chosen Soldiers, clad in Plate Armor inlaid with Holy Crystals, slammed their man-high Holy Flame Shields together, creating a deafening roar. They instantly formed three indestructible shield walls at the edge of the battlefield, trapping the Global Alliance Army and cutting off their retreat to the Plane Gate.
