The Young Wolf Leader was somewhat surprised, but he did not take it too seriously.
With an army of twenty thousand having been defeated, what could a mere defensive line formed by two thousand militia amount to?
As for cannons and such, in the high-magic World of Sky, muskets and cannons were nothing new, nor were they considered particularly powerful. Cannons were just for show. Historically, Dwarves and Gnomes had even developed tanks and Airships, but they hadn't made much of an impact either.
In a real battle, it was still the strength of actual soldiers and weapons that counted.
Immediately, he issued the command, "Charge!"
Nearly a thousand Frostwolf beasts howled and rushed forward.
A dense shower of arrows flew from behind the Spearman formation, but they caused only dozens of casualties amongst the pack. In the blink of an eye, the beasts reached the militia's line.
