The battle had begun. Tahoe had become a staging ground between two of the major human forces west of the Rocky Mountains. Considering the strategic relevance of Tahoe, it made since that these two settlements, each of which had made a name for themselves across the region, would be fighting over it.
On one side, you had the Crusaders of Elysium lined up in formation. Their general, while winning many battles against the undead. Had limited experience when dealing with an army of awakened like himself.
Hell, it was unusual in this vast wasteland of a world for any human faction to have enough awakened to field an actual army. And because of this, the battle for Tahoe was a first for Carolus. But the same could be said for Zane.
There was just one difference. Zane had some experience using his troops in formations against the undead. Something that the Crusaders of Elysium did not have. And because of this, his Horde swiftly and expertly moved into a formation.
