Commander Korth
The scouts are retreating toward the gorge. If I deploy the second unit to flank them now, we can crush their formation against the canyon wall.
Commander Korth does not wait for a formal reply, his eyes locked onto the azure projection as he draws a tactical dagger and jabs it toward a narrow bottleneck on the causeway map.

If he holds the line, I can break them. This power... it is the only way to ensure the fort endures the season.
The skeletal warriors collide with the Pale Moon scouts, their bone blades sparking against primitive iron. Kalazan senses the discord through the orb, a cold feedback that makes the dining hall floor vibrate.
Kalazan
The resonance of the orb is drawing power directly from the hidden fire pots beneath the floor.
Kalazan watches as the orb flickers, reflecting the chaos on the causeway where his summoned guardians hack through the Pale Moon line, their movements stiff yet relentless under his magical command.

Kalazan plants his staff firmly against the cold stone, his will surging through the wood and into the azure light.

The ley lines here are thin, but the orb channels the earth's marrow to flesh out the bone.
The air inside the dining hall grows frigid as a massive, spectral dire wolf coalesces from the blue radiance, its jaws dripping with necrotic frost.
Commander Korth
By the mountain peaks, look at the size of that construct. It will tear their vanguard to ribbons before they can even raise a shield.
The dire wolf leaps through the orb's projection, its phantom weight crushing the lead scout against the canyon wall with impossible force.
Commander Korth
The line breaks, Kalazan. Shall I signal the second unit to finish the slaughter, or will you command the beast to hunt the stragglers?
