Two large forces met in the air above in a tense standoffThe Northern Barrens and the Southern Wilds faced one another, but really it was a dance between Arcturus Cloude and CloudhawkTheir first forht would determent would retain a foothold in the southAs such, it was integral to Arcturus’ plans

The scale of these two are number of troopsNot only did it boast twice the nuround forces were also vastly superior in nuies packed with soldiers, in addition to over two thousand lizard and wolf riders

These forces were bolstered only recently, taken froround force itself wasn’t the main part of the Conclave’s army, it was a formidable threatIn contrast, the Southern Confederation had no ground force to speak ofIt relied on the superior airshi+ps provided by Nox

The best co established by the Conclave; spy shi+ps, expedition shi+ps, battleshi+ps, carriers and destroyersThe Conclave had over two thousand shi+ps, five hundred being battleshi+psThe reely mid-sized expeditionary shi+ps

In total numbers the southern wilds were in an inferior position, with an arht hundred vesselsHowever its aerial forces were unifor, ancient warwith particle cannonsBy the Conclave’s evaluation standards it was considered carrier class, with enough firepower alone to match ten battleshi+psIts presence on the battlefield was a serious threat to the enemy armada

All told, the capabilities of both are in terms of scale, but the south met that deficit with more powerful equip war pro

Daatched the slowly encroaching eneelica was already in hand and she thrust it forward to punctuate her orders“All forces forward! Meet them head-on!”

The two armies rolled toward each other like fatal stor up speed, they closed the distance in short orderFro while sparks danced in their midstBut what from afar looked like sparks were the roars of cannons, rockets and launchers as they spat death toward one anotherThe two armies immediately broke into fierce conflict

The clouds split open as a strea havoc in a stormThe roar of a cannon sounded like thunder

Cloudhawk felt the whole shi+p rattling beneath his feetDebris filled the air as guard shi+ps on either side detonated in ments of shi+p and crew pelted the deck of his shi+p like a grisly rainThe exchange of fire claimed lives on both sidesThe first volley revealed no clear winner

The Conclave’s arround forces had spread across the desert and was closing on the city

Lines of armored vehicles kicked up sand in their wake as they sped toward their objectiveWasteland soldiers tore across the dunes on giant lizards with rocket launchers on their shouldersThey didn’t bother to ai their payloads loose toward the shi+ps above ild abandonThe ground forces were lie they could deal to the armada, but they did add pressure and served to harass their foes from below

Deadly winds churned, thunder roaredSoon, the ground was littered with broken shi+ps and dead bodies

Daatched with a grim expression“They’re better equipped than I expected”

While the Conclave’s shi+ps themselves were not powerful, nearly all of them had been outfitted with destructive missile launchers and other ordinanceThey could blow one of Dawn’s shi+ps to pieces froher quality overall, they still were having trouble overcoeIf this continued then winning victory would be costly, if even possibleThe death toll would be staggering for both sides whatever the outcome

It was for precisely such a circumstance that Cloudhawk chose to come

The Conclave’s efforts to conquer the south ca it happenWithout question, they would be bringing their best to bearEven borrowing strength fro to win this one easily

Cloudhawk broke in“We have fewer people, and the Conclave has enough to come back even if we rout the even if inWe have to change our tactics, we can’t go blow for blow”

That here they found theSix thousand vessels – even if they lost two shi+ps for each of Dawn’s one they would still winThe salt in that wound was that these warriors came froh and gobbled up all the south’s cities

If they didn’t find a way to reverse this they ht force the Conclave to lose interest in the south for a time, but Cloudhawk’s forces would also be deciing the fight to them
