Soldiers kept pouring out of the large gate one after another as the battle intensified. The royal soldiers fought fiercely, quickly clearing the tribesmen caught between Lucian and her seven companions—the seven humans fighting for their lives deep inside the five-thousand-strong tribesmen army. Lucian used her ice mountain and wormhole spells to deal heavy damage to the tribesmen soldiers coming from around the ice mountain, and then to the whole tribe alliance army that was momentarily in chaos trying to rush to their people's aid.
If the tribe alliance had just taken a minute to organize their ranks and attack with a plan, both Lucian's ice mountain and the unprepared royal army would have posed no real threat at all. But the tribe alliance was not a single army—they had never been trained to fight together. Their leaders were trying to form some kind of order, but each tribe was focused on saving their own people, making it difficult to take control.
