Arriving at the line of control

As Leo and Ben approached the Line of Control, the peaceful scenery that had accompanied them throughout their journey so far, changed rapidly, with their surroundings now showing unmistakable signs of an impending clash.

The makeshift outposts of the Empire's forces loomed ahead, which seemed to be constructed hastily yet sturdily to withstand the onslaught of demons.

These outposts were fortified with tall wooden barricades and watchtowers, where vigilant sentinels stood guard, their eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of enemy movement.

The scent of burning wood and metal lingered in the air, produced from make-shift furnaces that were created to mend chipped and damaged weapons in the absence of a proper forge.

Above, trained Griffin Rider's patrolled the skies, their keen eyes watching for any movement across the battlefield.
