In the forests north of Rapids Pass, the shouts of battle and gunfire shattered the earth, unfurling a brutal blood-soaked drama.
On one side were farmers from the Campbell Duchy, on the other, farmers from Twilight Province.
Just yesterday at dusk, the arrival of reinforcements from the Campbell Duchy completely crushed Finnian's plan for a rapid victory.
He knew well that on the open plains, even though his farmer-composed army boasted a numerical advantage, it would be difficult to engage head-on with the well-equipped and well-trained regular army of the Campbell Duchy.
Without hesitation, he immediately issued a retreat order, withdrawing all one hundred thousand soldiers of the Green Forest Army into the forest north of Rapids Pass.
This was his home ground.
The children of Rushing River are born hunters, and each farmer of Twilight Province is as familiar with the forests as the legendary Elves!
