When the Northern Expedition Legion attacked the Sniper Corps, a small plain lay between the mountain range holding their camp and the forested mountains to the rear.
It had an entrance and an exit, one leading to the Western Plains and the other to the forest behind. Flanked by mountains on both sides, the area formed a bottleneck.
The Northern Expedition Legion's soldiers, having retreated from their camp, were now all gathered in the rear section of this small plain.
"What's going on up there?"
When Ah Pu saw that the column had stopped moving, he hurried to the Vanguard Army with the Core Lords and heroes.
"My lord..."
The Vanguard Army's commander explained that Steel-backed Porcupines were blocking their path. Ah Pu surveyed the ground, which was littered with quills. He watched his Mages continuously fire Elemental Missiles and saw the occasional counter-volley of quills slam into their Defense Shields. The scene felt strangely familiar.
