Faenor of the Silver Laurel wrote: The remaining cavalry unexpectedly swerves, crashing into their own lines, while the horses and other animals of burden behind enemy lines begin to go beserk, trampling over men and each other. Gaius had had his spellcasters take control of the animals themselves, rather than men, an interesting tactic which had served him well in the past.

With the shieldwall disrupted, the remaining mercenaries break formation and charge, the cavalry dismounting with difficulty and attempting to calm their ensorcelled mounts. Enemy mages fight back with their own magic, and the engineers finally begin to fire their engines, scorpions impaling men in the Imperial lines and liquid fire exploding overhead. Valerius leads his cavalry in a gallant charge that slam into the backs of the mages, archers, and artillery crews. While his artillery start shelling the advancing enemy infantry, who have to slog through mud, and the already mentioned traps.
