As the Silver Kingdom's army executed their disciplined retreat, the Björns saw only weakness. Emboldened by the sight of their enemy pulling back, the berserkers howled for blood and charged forward in a disorganized, ravenous pursuit, eager to crush the fleeing forces.
Simultaneously, every single mage of the Silver Kingdom was deployed to the field.
The mages filled the sky, a dense constellation of arcane power, and their collective descent signaled the true beginning of their action. The first notice of their action was a violent, seismic tremor that rippled through the earth, an earth-shaking shockwave that instantly halted the charging momentum of the Björns.
For those unable to react in time, towering, geometrically molded stone walls erupted directly from the ground. Viewed from a bird's-eye view, the spectacle was both terrifying and breathtaking.
A massive, multi-layered circular fortress system materialized across the borders of the Silver Kingdom.
