Brace For Impact

"Pikes up. Brace for impact." The section Commander ordered.

The warriors brought up their pikes, and Thor brought up his barrier over his team, including Morgana and the group under Colonel Wilkes, who were his team by default, as they were right next to him, and attached to the same unit.

The larger beasts were closer, as the smaller carnivores had chosen to stay behind the hyper-aggressive giant lizards and beasts, who naturally treated them as food.

Tessa activated the Holy Blessing on the pikes, in time with the other battle Clerics along the line. The metal heads glowed with golden light, prepared to cut through the thick hides of the attackers, but the monsters didn't care.

"Ranged attackers, begin." 

Karl raised his bow and fired [Chain Lightning] into the front ranks. The lightning arced between the attackers, and dozens of the smaller beasts went up in flames as the Commander Rank ability hit their Awakened Rank bodies.
