He prepares for battle... He finds the villagers more than a little equipped to fight back, and most escape.

The Canarians advance into the plains with an army under the command of one of their senior generals, supported by Dwarven and Meletian mercenaries, as well as Apparisian marines.

The form up in an extended line, Dwarven infantry and Meletian cavalry on the flanks, the heavy-infantry and archer veterans of the Canaris Novan army in the centre. So, I have no advantages whatsoever... With all the mercenaries they have. Oh, no. You have around twenty thousand more foot soldiers than they do. So you have the advantage in numbers, but not in experience.

Imperial and Canaris Novan spellcasters begin to duel, countermagic flying every which way and nullifying each other's attempts to use offensive spells. With the mages cancelling out magic as a factor, the two armies close rapidly, until both are just within effective artillery range.

Your move, Grand Marshal.
