This barrier is one-way, allowing people to exit but not enter. Hence, the main forces did not dispatch air units while the barrier was intact, as it would be futile; even the ground troops did not launch an assault.
From within, however, the gates swung open, and a large number of ogres wielding enormous fist weapons rushed out; each of them was tall.
Yet their bodies remained massive, their muscles tightly knit, sporting only simple armor, with an aura of ferocity surging forth.
The ogre units were not in a hurry to attack but formed impact formations within the barrier, each phalanx comprising ten thousand, each targeting a stone-thrower position.
The first battle between the two sides finally commenced, with the ogres showing exceptional ferocity.
Facing the summoned troops of the players, they displayed no fear whatsoever, charging into their range despite heavy ranged attacks.
The ogre assault units were incredibly formidable, directly breaching the player formations.
