CH247 Chaotic Battlefield

Some time earlier...
City of Werth, Kellerman Territory.
The air outside Werth was heavy with turmoil after the earlier betrayals on both sides. Both Wildkin and humans were brimming with eagerness—the war was about to erupt.
At the first light of dawn, both armies made their move.
Exercitus Alexii had been preparing to lay siege when the gates of Werth swung open. From within, the Wildkin poured out like an unending tide.
The Wildkin—especially the major races of Orcs, Taurus, and Mantisari—were built for raids, not for defending walls. And they weren't about to start now.
Rather than playing to their weakness against a foe they grudgingly admitted was formidable, the Wildkin chieftains petitioned the Orc Chief to meet the humans in the open plains before the city. To attack, and either triumph—or die trying.
The Orc Chief agreed.
