At the head of the torrent of steel was not the Duke's Thunder Dragon Knight Order.
At the very front, a banner unfurled in the wind.
It was the banner of Raylo of the Black Stone Territory.
As the Lord most familiar with the Jade Swamp, his army had naturally been tasked with leading the vanguard.
The sky belonged to the airborne forces.
Raylo's mount, the Storm Griffin King "Baofeng," led the charge, its agile form at the very front. Its tawny Iron Feathers glinted under the sun with a metallic sheen.
Behind it, thirty Griffin Knights formed a sharp spearhead. Farther back, two hundred Pegasus Knights spread their white wings, resembling a moving bank of clouds.
On the ground, forty Mammoth Giant Elephants, like mobile hills, marched with heavy steps, making the earth tremble with every footfall.
However, what truly drew the frequent gazes of the Northern Lords following behind was the column of more than one hundred Hill Giants marching after the Mammoth Knight Order.
