The Laines Empire Army could be said to be the only troops on the allied side that had yet to formally engage the Tang Army; they joined the war the latest, and by the time their troops reached the northern border of the Elf lands, the further north Dwarf-controlled area was almost completely lost.
At that time, the Tang Army and the Dwarves were fighting the Battle of Ironforge, so the Laines Empire Army simply didn't continue northward but stayed at the border. Later, they were reassigned to the northwest to prepare for the campaign to retake Hotwind Port.
Because they hadn't participated in combat, the morale of the Laines Empire Army was still high; until today, they could be said to be the lucky ones in this war.
It could be said they were very lucky indeed; on their journey northward through the Elf Controlled Area, they traveled by rail, suffering little hardship. Accompanying them northward were countless strategic supplies meant to support the Dwarves.
