The Old Royal Capital was located in the Central Region of the Old Kingdom.
The Central Region was mostly plains, a wide, open expanse of flat land.
There were no natural defenses to speak of, so warfare depended entirely on the walls of its cities.
Once Ed led the main force of the Salvation Army past the fortress, a decisive battle was inevitable.
Of course, the Divine Guard Army would certainly not choose to fight near the Old Royal Capital.
The chosen location was, naturally, a plain not far from the fortress.
On the open plain, nothing could be concealed.
This was true even for troop formations.
A Transcendent could see every troop movement clearly just by looking down from the sky.
Therefore, this decisive battle would come down to the speed and responsiveness of each side's commanders in maneuvering their forces.
Of course, it would also be a test of the soldiers' will to fight.
Beneath the blazing sun.
A sea of military banners fluttered in the wind.
