With lances lowered they crashed home the charge – a clash of the two strongest regiments of the field, albeit both of them already significantly damaged. The Knights Panther galloped past as they finally found their path clear and spied the Grave Guard that were eyeing off the flank of the Reiksguard. The Knights Panther are rewarded for their long march with a worthwhile target - the enemy army's most powerful unit, depleted though it now is. The Knights did not appear to be in serious trouble, but they were certainly trapped and would doubtless appreciate some help.
When it was done they regrouped facing the flank of the Skeletons, who continued to have trouble harming the well-protected Reiksguard. The Greatswords who had fought their way across the lake once again found their path blocked by Bats, and again they charged without hesitation and cut them down. Together the Empire regiments carved a swathe through the hapless Zombies, with only the Wight King and Wraith at their head causing real trouble in return. The Zombies attacking the Knights nearby quickly gave way as Halberdiers charged in alongside their allies whilst a group of Demigryph Knights arrived in the flank. His cuts struck home where the mundane weapons of the Swordsmen could not, and the punishment quickly took its toll on the Wraiths, who vanished with ghastly howls. On the Empire left flank, the Swordsmen trying to fend off the Wraiths were able to breathe a sigh of relief as they were joined by the rider of a Griffon bearing a magic sword. The Griffon arrives to disrupt the one-sided party the Wraiths had been hoping for.
The Empire lines were holding their own, however the right flank was being sorely tested and the Grand Theogonist himself was in grave peril. The battlefield was littered with corpses and broken bones and everywhere the snow was turning red with the blood of the living. You can find the previous part here, or go back to the main page here.
