Bab 466: Demon War (2)

( Luke's POV )

Luke calmly assessed the unfolding battle with the keen eye of a seasoned knight.

The current layout employed by the DarkSky guild was strategically designed to weaken the Demon Army early on by swiftly reducing their numbers and it delivered as expected in the early moments of the battle, as before a single Dark-Sky guild member died, thousands of demons had already lost their life.

The layout of the DarkSky guild in this war was such that the main army was stationed atop the hill where the dog-fight was supposed to take place, while half of their archers and mages were positioned in fortified towers scattered along the hill's incline.

In a way, these archers and mages were left isolated, almost like sacrificial pawns, cut off from the support of the main guild. Yet, they had the opportunity to take down dozens, if not hundreds, of enemies before meeting their end, given their advantageous vantage points.
